d&b system approach, positioned in front of the amplifiers within the signal chain, and is ideally suited to both mobile and installation environments. The DS10 sends meta data including Dante channel labels and cabling information via the AES3 channel stream to the d&b four channel amplifiers. As well as providing an interface from the Dante audio network to the digital inputs of the d&b amplifiers via Ethernet, the DS10 provides 4 digital AES3 input channels for applications such as a break in from a Front of House console.
The DS10 incorporates an integrated 5-port switch, offering a primary and redundant network for the Dante protocol, as well as advanced functions such as Multicast Filtering and VLAN modes. This switch flexibility provides extended connectivity for a laptop to control the d&b amplifiers using the R1 Remote control software via the OCA (Open Control Architecture) protocol.Using the DS10 Audio network bridge, audio signals and remote control data can be combined using a single Ethernet cable.
The front panel of the DS10 is designed to match the I/O panel of the D80 Touring rack assembly. This ensures a simple integration within existing system configurations.The DS10 features a power supply suitable for mains voltages 100 V – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz, with Overvoltage protection of up to 400 V.
