AKG Acoustics DMM 12BC Music Mixer User Manual


 
DMM 12BC 49
Installation and Connection
Mount the DMM 12BC in your 19" rack.
NOTE
We recommend only using AKG accessory cables for cascading.
The unit has two 100 MBit/s ethernet interfaces. These communicate the control data and
audio between up to 10 units. This allows an automix system with up to 120 input channels,
40 output channels and 10 stereo headphone outputs to be established.
The master buses for "OUT 1", "OUT 2", "REC-OUT", "DIGOUT" and "HEADPHONE" are
accessible for all of the cascaded units across the entire system. Every unit adds its input
channels to the master buses, which are transferred via the ethernet interface. Every unit can
monitor and output the master buses.
The automix algorithm also transfers its control data via this interface. This allows the automix
algorithm to function system-wide.
The individual units must be connected to the expansion connectors as follows:

ATTENTION
Do not connect the first cascade unit with the last unit.
For the user, the function and behaviour of all the units are the same. All of the cascaded units
retain their individual functions. A standard CAT5+ connection cable can be used.
The available "SYSTEM CONTROL" functions associated with cascading are described in the
section Cascaded device operation.
