2. System Configuration
The MAS-A100 connects to a network switch over a single network cable that carries
Power over Ethernet (PoE), two-channel outputs of Dante audio, and remote-control
information for setup and operation.
MASM-1 and Dante Controller software by Audinate (referred to as "Dante
Controller") on a PC connected to the same segment (same layer 2 network) are used
to initialize the MAS-A100 units and route Dante audio, respectively. An MASM-1 on a
PC placed not only in the same segment but also beyond a layer 3 switch (for example,
on a PC placed in a control room) can perform MAS-A100 configuration and operation
after initial setup.
This document describes the details of setup and operation using the MASM-1,
however, the web UI interface integrated with the MAS-A100 can also be used.
2.1 Audio capture
The MAS-A100 integrates eight directional microphone capsules and the signal
processing functions, as shown in the following diagram. It enables audio capture
features for speech reinforcement and for recording, corresponding to the Main output
and the Rec output, respectively.
The Main output exploits a unique feedback reduction technique, and can be
connected to a speech reinforcement system and played back by loudspeakers in a
room. The Rec output is optimized for recording of clearer audio over a wider area.
