Front Panel¶
| Item | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Signal Level LEDs | Twelve (12) bi-color LEDs | Illuminates green to indicate signal present > -48 dBu, amber between +0 dBu (-20 dBFS) and +23 dBu (-2 dBFS) and red to indicate clipping > +24 dBu (> -1 dBFS). All signal level LEDs will briefly flash amber on configuration load (on boot or when Composer pushes to hardware). |
| Power | Bi-color LED | Flashes green until the unit fully boots. If it remains flashing indefinitely, this may indicate a firmware or hardware problem. Solid green when operating on the main power input. The Power LED flashes green/amber to indicate a fan failure. |
| (Dante) Primary | Bi-color LED | Bi-color LED is off when nothing is connected, green when connected and all subscriptions are working, amber when some subscriptions working, and red when no subscriptions working. If a name conflict is detected, both the Primary and Secondary Dante LEDs will flash red. A name conflict means that 2 units were found on the network with the same name. |
| (Dante) Secondary | Bi-color LED | Bi-color LED is off when nothing is connected, green when connected and all subscriptions are working, amber when some subscriptions working, and red when no subscriptions working. If a name conflict is detected, both the Primary and Secondary Dante LEDs will flash red. A name conflict means that 2 units were found on the network with the same name. |
Rear Panel¶
| Item | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Detachable IEC Power Cable | 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 25 W maximum |
| (Dante) Primary | Bi-color LED | 1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides (128) [64X64] channels of Dante network audio. Both ports are ports of the same internal switch to permit daisy chaining up to (10) units or may be switched for independent use in redundant operation. |
| (Dante) Secondary | Bi-color LED | 1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides (128) [64X64] channels of Dante network audio. Both ports are ports of the same internal switch to permit daisy chaining up to (10) units or may be switched for independent use in redundant operation. |
| Analog Mic/Line Inputs | Thirty-six (36) position 3.81 mm terminal blocks | Twelve (12) balanced analog audio inputs individually software-adjustable from line to mic level with coarse gain, fine trim, phantom power, invert and mute. Reference levels of; -50dBu, -40dBu, -20dBu, -10dBV and +4dBu, phantom power and mute are available. |
Hardware Connections¶
Power (Main): Connect the IEC connector end of the supplied AC cord to the receptacle on the rear of the Radius. Connect the AC connector end of the supplied AC cord to an AC power source that is of the correct voltage and frequency (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Use only the power cord and connector specified for the product and your operating locale.
Dante (Primary): If using Dante network audio, connect the primary jack to directly to another Radius, 3rd party device, or Dante compatible switch using a standard straight-through CAT6 cable terminated with RJ45 connectors. For complete information on Dante network audio, network topologies, setup and configuration, refer to the Dante networking topics.
Dante (Secondary): If using Dante network audio and daisy chaining Radius units locally, or utilizing a redundant Dante network configuration, connect the primary jack to directly to another Radius or Dante compatible switch using a standard straight-through CAT6 cable terminated with RJ45 connectors. For complete information on Dante network audio, network topologies, setup and configuration, refer to the Dante networking topics.
Analog Mic/Line Inputs: Using standard mic/line cables terminated on one end with terminal block connectors and appropriate connectors for your mic/line sources on the other end, connect the terminal block ends into the Analog Mic/Line Inputs on Radius and the opposite ends into your source devices' outputs. Refer to the Audio Wiring Reference for more information.
NOTE: Wiring the inputs to an unbalanced cable will typically result in an input level that is 6 dB lower than the input level achieved using a balanced cable. If wiring to an unbalanced source, you may need to adjust the input level. Refer to the xIn 12 Software topic.
