•
• Dual RJ45 bidirectional ports
•
• In 48 kHz mode, the two ports act as a
dual-redundant connection.
•
• Each port transmits channels 1-48
•
• In 96 kHz mode, each port carries
24 channels:
•
• Port 1: channels 1-24
•
• Port 2: Channels 25-48
•
• Po rt indicator LEDs

1. Introduction
The KT-AES50 card is a multichannel audio interface
expansion card for the Klark Teknik DN9650/DN9652
Network Bridge that allows up to 48 channels of
AES50 format audio to be converted to a di erent
protocol or sample rate. This sample-rate conversion
therefore allows AES50 networks operating at 96 kHz
to connect to AES50 networks operating at 48 kHz.
This expansion card provides 48 channels of AES50
digital audio operating at either 48 kHz or 96 kHz on
two connectors.
2. Installation
Before you install the KT-AES50 card in the network
module slot of the DN9650/DN9652 Network Bridge,
you must check klarkteknik.com to verify that
the unit’s host rmware supports this card.
We recommend that you periodically check your
unit’s product page for rmware updates.
Caution – before installing the KT-AES50
into the DN9650/DN9652 Network Bridge,
you must make sure that the unit’s power switch
is turned o . Malfunctions or electrical shock may
occur otherwise.
To install an interface I/O card:
DN9650/DN9652
1. Make sure that the host unit’s power
is turned o .
2. Loosen the 19 screws fastening the
chassis cover, then remove the chassis cover
from the main chassis. Keep the cover and the
screws in a safe place.
3. Before removing the KT-AES50 card from its
protective bag, we recommend touching the
grounded metal chassis of the console to prevent
electrostatic discharges a ecting the sensitive
electronic components. It is generally a good
idea to hold the card either by the face plate or
by the two small handles, but never touching the
components on the circuit board directly.
4. Identify the Network Module connectors (two
male 40 pin vertical connectors). Align the
KT-AES50 female connectors with the DN9650
connectors and apply vertical pressure being
very careful not to bend the pins. Push the
card all the way into the slot to ensure that the
contacts of the card are correctly inserted.
5. Fasten the card using the included screws
(2 in the faceplate and 2 to the rear of the PCB).
Be aware that damage or malfunctions may
occur if the card is not fastened.
6. Replace the chassis cover and replace all screw
before the unit is powered on.
