at www.audinate.com. Versions of Dante
Controller are available to support Win-
dows® and OS X® operating systems. The
Model 362 uses the Ultimo 2-input/2-output
integrated circuit to implement the Dante
architecture although the two outputs will
not be utilized.
The two Dante receiver (Rx) channels as-
sociated with the Model 362’s audio inputs
need to be routed to the desired source
equipment’s Dante transmitter channels.
These two audio signals will be sent to the
Model 362’s 2-channel headphone output.
The Model 362 supports audio sample
rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. The unit
is compatible with a limited set of pull-up/
pull-down values. In most cases the default
will be used and a pull-up or pull-down rate
will not be selected. The Model 362 can
serve as the clock master for a Dante net-
work but in most cases it will be configured
to “sync” to another device.
The Model 362 has a default Dante device
name of ST-M362 and a unique suffix. The
suffix identifies the specific Model 362 that
is being configured. The suffix’s actual al-
pha and/or numeric characters relate to the
MAC address of the unit’s Ultimo integrated
circuit. The two Dante receiver (Rx) chan-
nels have default names of Ch1 and Ch2.
Using Dante Controller the default device
name and channel names can be revised
as appropriate for the specific application.
Model 362 Configuration
The Model 362 provides four DIP switches
which are used to configure two operating
functions. These allow the unit to be
optimized to match the needs of specific
applications. Two of the switches allow
configuration of the headphone output
mode. This offers four unique choices
in how the incoming audio channels are
impacted by the two rotary potentiometers
and then routed to the two headphone
output channels. Another switch selects
the minimum level of the headphone output
channels. Some applications may benefit
from users never being able to fully mute
the audio signals present on the head-
phone output channels. For example, in
an on-air application it might be important
for a user to always be able to hear pro-
ducer or director instructions. Alternately, a
configuration choice allows the headphone
output channels to be fully muted when
their associated level controls are placed
in their fully clockwise position. The fourth
switch is reserved for possible future use.
Physically the switches are accessible
from the back of the Model 362’s enclosure
through a rectangular opening that is
located under the top of the belt clip.
The configuration switches are connected
to the Model 362’s logic circuitry which
responds to changes by way of the appli-
cation firmware; no audio passes directly
through the switches. Changes made to a
switch will immediately be reflected in the
unit’s operation.
Accessing the Configuration Switches
To access the four configuration switches
requires that the belt clip be rotated. Nor-
mally the belt clip is secured to the back
of the enclosure using one rivet (non-
removable) and one machine screw that
has a thread pitch of 6-32. To allow the belt
clip to rotate, remove the machine screw
using a #1 Phillips head screw driver. The
belt clip should now be able to rotate in
either direction. Save the screw so that
it can be re-installed once the desired
