DN9610 AES50 Repeater

1. Introduction

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing a Klark Teknik DN9610 AES50 Repeater.

The DN9610 is a premium quality, dual channel Klark Teknik AES50 repeater box. A single DN9610 extends any AES50 connection by up to a distance of 100 metres, but for greater distances multiple DN9610 devices can be connected together in series (daisy-chained).

This DN9610 is particularly designed for sound reinforcement as an extension to existing AES50 network connections. A pair of AES50 ports is provided so that current AES50 devices that use redundant ‘X’ and ‘Y’ networks can be catered for within a single box.

The DN9610 has two inputs and outputs that provide bi-directional transmission of 24 channels of audio at 96kHz or 48 channels of audio at 48kHz, both at 24-bit plus control data. Each input and ouput is via a Neutrik EtherCON connector, which has a supporting activity LED.

Note: Although AES50 is a bi-directional audio protocol the “input” and “output” naming convention has been used to help the user with clock transmission.

The DN9610 was conceived by Klark Teknik to off er audio professionals high performance audio equipment, designed to provide no-compromise sonic quality with a feature set that off ers all essential facilities and functions. It represents the very best of British design and engineering combined with contemporary, efficient manufacturing methods, and will give you many years of reliable service.

So, to obtain the best results with a minimum of eff ort, please read this operator manual and, fi nally, enjoy your Klark Teknik DN9610 AES50 Repeater!

3.3 Connecting up

When connecting up, note the following:

•AES50 cables can be up to 100 m long and must be Cat 5e or Cat 6.

•Always connect DN9610 inputs to clock master and DN9610 outputs to clock slave.

•Always connect AES50 cables to like numbered input and output ports. For example, if you are connecting to input port AES50 IN 1, connect its output to AES50 OUT 1.

•When daisy-chaining, always connect the output(s) of one DN9610 to the input(s) of another.

•With power on, when you connect an AES50 cable to the unit (input or output) its local green 'activity' LED will illuminate. When the connection is active the LED will fl ash.
