VNET2-DANTE BRIDGE

Connecting Devices

• For analogue audio applications, simply connect one or both audio output XLRs to the •
analogue input(s) of the device.
• • For VNET devices, connect the VNET Link socket on the Dante Bridge to the VNET In socket of the
first device you wish to control; then connect the VNET Link socket of this device to the VNET In
socket of the next device, continuing as required. The order in which the devices are connected
is not important. The Link socket of the last device in the 'chain' need not be connected.
• • For VNET2 devices (which have long-distance AES3 integrated with VNET networking)
there is no need to make connections to the audio outs since audio will be delivered to the
device in digital format. (It will be necessary to select digital inputs on the device).

Audio Routing

The Dante Bridge can use one or two audio channels from the Dante stream. Normally the unit
would be configured to route channels to Input 1 and Input 2. You may see an option to route
to channels 3 and 4; however, these are not used in the product. Audio routing is accomplished
using the Dante Controller application. You may find it helpful to name all Dante devices to
clarify routing.

Rack Mounting

The Dante Bridge and accessory power supply may be used free-standing. If you wish to mount
them in a 19-inch rack, then the Accessory Mounting Kit may be used.
Please note that this product generates some heat, which is normal. However, to
prevent overheating, allow for a free flow of air around the unit. Do not stack units
on top of one another.
To mount an Accessory in the Mounting Kit panel:
1. Remove the two mounting brackets and Lexan blanking sheet which are covering the
aperture you wish to mount the Accessory in, by removing the two nuts. (Keep these and
the screws and washers).
2. Remove the two screws from one side of the accessory.
