INSTALLATION

Connecting your EtherSound rack

It is recommended to establish all connections before powering the device up.

Power supply

Before plugging the power cord, make sure that:

•

The cord it is not damaged

•

the AC outlet used is properly earthed

Just like for any other audio system, power the individual devices up following the audio path and power

down in the opposite direction.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where people could trip

over it.

Network

The cable type most commonly used today is CAT5e. For more detailed information, please refer to the

document "Building ES Networks", available on the Digigram web site.

from the device, press the latch, then withdraw the cable while maintaining the latch pushed.

Example 1: bi-directional point-to-point transmission of eight / sixteen audio channels

This application is very easy with two EtherSound AQONDA 8 or AQONDA 16.

Connect a standard Ethernet cable between the "OUT" port of the first Ethernet bridge to the "IN" port of the

second Ethernet bridge. Connections the inputs and the outputs of the two devices via the EtherSound

channels.

Example 2: more complex architectures

System topology may be daisy chain, star, or a combination of both.

Generally speaking, the "OUT" of an EtherSound device has to be connected with the "IN" port of the

following EtherSound device.

Repeat this step for each device in the network. Media converters (copper / fiber optic) can be used to

establish connections over very long distances. It is also possible to use Ethernet switches to build complex

topologies networks (see the document "Building EtherSound Networks" on our Web site).

Synchronization

AQONDA 8/AQONDA 16 provide several modes of synchronization.

Synchronization by means of:

•

an internal oscillator (44.1 or 48 kHz)

•

The network (except for "Primary Master" mode (see glossary))

The network connections are established via two Neutrik

receptacles. Use the connector labeled "ES IN" to connect the descending

EtherSound stream (downstream, coming from the 'Primary Master'), the

connector labeled "ES OUT" to connect the ascending EtherSound stream

('upstream').

Use the RJ45 labeled "DATA/CONTROL" to connect your AQONDA to any

PC on the network running an EtherSound control and management software

such as EScontrol to remotely configure and manage your network.

RJ45 provide secure connection through a latching system. To disconnect the cable
