Mechanical Data¶
Space Required¶
Half rack unit (WDH: 8.2 in. x 9.38 in. x 1.72 in. / 20.83 cm x 23.83 cm x 4.37 cm) Depth does not include connector allowance
Allow at least 3 inches additional clearance for rear panel connections. Additional depth may be required depending upon your specific wiring and connections.
Electrical¶
PoE+ IEEE 802.3at Class 4, 25.5 Watts maximum. No line voltage switching required.
Note: Only one PoE+ source should be plugged in at a time. Plugging in multiple power sources to both the Ethernet and Dante ports may result in unreliable operation.
Ventilation¶
Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature is 30 C / 86 F. Ensure that the left and right equipment sides are unobstructed (5.08 cm, 2 in minimum clearance). The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

A&E Specifications¶
The half rack device shall provide network audio processing, mixing, and routing using the Dante™ protocol with a capacity of 128 (64×64) channels. The connector shall be 1000 Base-T RJ45 utilizing CAT6 cable.
A designer software application shall be provided that operates on a Windows computer, with network interface installed, running Windows® 7 or higher operating system. Computer connection for configuration shall be via the device’s rear panel Ethernet connector. All internal processing shall be digital (DSP). Available DSP components shall include (but not be limited to) various forms of: mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics/ gain controls, routers, delays, remote controls, meters, generators, and diagnostics.
The front panel shall include an LCD and momentary switch. The display shall indicate unit name, IP address, MAC address, Site File version, and fault messages.
External control shall include dedicated software screens as well as preset selection, level control and muting using the optional ARC wall panel remote controls via industry-standard CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors. A built-in web server shall provide four instances of ARC-WEB, which allows for user control from nearly any web browser or mobile device. All program memory shall be non-volatile and provide program security should power fail. The device shall provide an on board real time clock to facilitate automatic, timed changing of presets and may sync to NTP. Third-party control systems may interface over IP using a published ASCII control protocol.
Audio conversion shall be 24-bit, 48 kHz and internal processing shall be 32-bit or 40-bit floating point, 48 kHz. The dynamic range shall not be lower than 113 dB, A-weighted with a maximum input level of +23 dBu and maximum output level of +24 dBu.
Internal processing shall be 32-bit or 40-bit floating point, 48 kHz.
The device shall be powered over Ethernet (PoE) by an IEEE 802.3af Class 0 standard compliant switch, or the included injector. The device Dante port should not be used to power the DSP. The device shall meet UL/CSA and CE safety requirements and comply with CE and FCC Part 15 emissions limits. The device shall be RoHS compliant. The chassis shall be constructed of cold rolled steel, and may be surface mounted or mount into a standard 19” 1U EIA rack using an available bracket or rack tray. The device shall be a SymetrixPrism 0x0.
Front Panel¶
Navigation Button: A single momentary push button is used to cycle through the Dashboard and System Pages or dismiss a fault notification. A short press scrolls through the menus or dismisses a fault notification and a long press toggles between the Dashboard and System Pages.
Dashboard: Shows either an overview of system parameters or Dante Tx/Rx level meters. The overview contains limited information such as Unit Name, IP Address, DHCP Status, informational messages, and communication LEDs for Ethernet, Dante, and ARC. A short press moves between the overview and input/output meters.
The on screen status LEDs display the following information:
-
ARC LED:
-
- Empty oval = No ARC Connected
- Oval with dot in the center = Physical RS485 ARC device is connected (ARC-2e, ARC-K1e, etc.)
- Solid Oval = Flashes when an ARC, physical or virtual (ARC-WEB, ARC-FP, ARC-K1e, etc.), communicates with the device
-
! = Flashes when an ARC is disconnected
-
Network LED:
-
- Empty oval = Nothing connected or no network communication
- Solid oval = Flashes for network communication (often this is so constant it will be solid)
- Oval with dot in the center = Device looking for IP address in DHCP mode
-
! = Ethernet Cable Removed or hardware access code invalid
-
Dante LED (not shown when no Dante Card installed):
-
- Empty oval = Nothing connected or no network communication
- Solid oval = Dante network connected and subscriptions are working
- Oval with dot in the center = Some (but not all) subscriptions are working
- ! = No subscriptions are working
- ! flashing = Dante name conflict where two units found on the network with the same name
System Pages: Contain detailed system information including Device Name, DHCP Status, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, NTP Address, MAC Address, Firmware Version, Motherboard Temperature, Motherboard Maximum Temperature, Motherboard Minimum Temperature, Dante Clock Drift, Dante Device Name, Dante IP Address, Dante MAC Address, Dante Card Software Version, Site File Version, and Site ID.
Faults: Faults are displayed for high temperature, power supply problems, and duplicate Dante network names. Faults will “take over” the display regardless of what else is visible. A short press dismisses a fault message. However, if the fault is still occurring, it will be displayed again shortly.
Rear Panel¶
ARC: Distributes power and RS-485 data to one or more ARC devices.
Dante: 1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides 128 (64x64) channels of Dante network audio and power.
Ethernet: 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for Composer host control, 3rd party accessory controllers over IP, and power. Features auto-crossover sensing for direct device-to-device connections.
Factory Reset Switch: To be used under the supervision of technical support, it has the ability to reset the unit’s network configuration and completely reset the unit to factory defaults.
