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 (> 0 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 | IEC 3 prong jack | Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 45 Watts max). Connect only to a grounded power outlet. |
| Dante (Primary) | RJ45 jack | 1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides 128 (64x64) channels of Dante network audio. |
| Dante (Secondary) | RJ45 jack | 1000 Base-T Ethernet port for redundant Dante network audio implementation in redundant mode, or for daisy chaining units without the need for extra switches and configuration in switched mode. The Dante Secondary port mode is switched in the Network I/O Manager. |
| Analog Line Outputs | Thirty-six (36) position 3.81 mm terminal block | Twelve (12) balanced analog line level audio outputs, individually software-selectable levels of -10 dBV or +4 dBu, fine gain and mute. |
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 Outputs: 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 xOut 12 Software topic.
