Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Introduction The Model 5202 Interface is a generalpurpose audio device that supports applications utilizing the Dante™ Audioover-Ethernet media networking technology. Two Dante-associated audio channels can be assigned to the Model 5202 which provides headphone and balanced line-level outputs.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Line Outputs Ethernet Data and PoE The Model 5202 provides a 2-channel line-level, electronically-balanced analog audio output by way of standard 3-pin male XLR connectors located on the back panel. A rotary level control allows the nominal (average) level of the line outputs to be adjusted. Using the push-in/push-out knob it’s a simple matter to achieve the desired nominal output levels which include –10, 0, or +4 dBu.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface circuit for implementing Dante. The integrated circuit’s firmware can be updated via the Ethernet connection, helping to ensure that its capabilities remain up to date. Getting Started Included in the shipping carton are a Model 5202 Interface and a printed copy of this guide. As a device that is Powerover-Ethernet (PoE) powered, no external power source is provided. Should a PoE midspan power injector be required it must be purchased separately.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface is standard for stereo headphones, the left channel is connected to the jacks’ tip lead, the right channel to the jacks’ ring lead, and the common connection to the jacks’ sleeve. Inside the Model 5202 the connections on the two jacks are wired in parallel (“multed”); the same output circuitry drives both connectors.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface The two Dante receiver channels have default names of Ch1 and Ch2. Using Dante Controller the default device and channel names can be revised as appropriate for the specific application. Operation At this point an Ethernet connection with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability should have been made. The unit’s Dante configuration settings should have been made using Dante Controller software application.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Model 5202 level meter and Dante status LED operation will again take place. Level Meters Two 7-step LED meters will display the level of the two Dante audio receiver (input) channels. The meter steps are calibrated in dBFS which indicates the number of dB below the maximum possible digital signal level. The maximum level, 0 dBFS, is the digital audio reference level equal to “full scale.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Using the Dante Controller software application the Model 5202’s IP address and related network parameters can be set for a fixed (“static”) configuration. While this is more involved than letting DHCP or linklocal “do their thing,” if fixed addressing is necessary then that capability is available. But in this case it’s highly recommended that each unit be physically marked, e.g.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Ultimo Firmware Update As previously discussed in this guide, the Model 5202 implements Dante connectivity using the 2-input/2-output Ultimo integrated circuit from Audinate. The Dante Controller software application can be used to determine the version of the firmware (embedded software) residing in the Ultimo “chip.” This firmware can be updated by way of the Model 5202’s Ethernet connection.
Model 5202 Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface Specifications Network Audio Technology: Type: Dante Audio-over-Ethernet Bit Depth: up to 24 Sample Rates: 44.1, 48, 88.
