OVERVIEW The Audix DN4 Dante–AES67 microphone interface is at the heart of an integrated microphone system that is the fast, trouble-free way to stream Audix audio performance through Ethernet networks. High-quality audio and all microphone functions — including on-off contact closure and LED status indicators — are available through a single CAT5 - CAT7 cable with RJ45 connections.

(PSDN4C) to the auxiliary power jack on the front of the unit. *Audix CAT7 cable is highly recommended. It consists of four twisted pairs that are individually shielded and is optimized for balanced audio and cross-talk elimination. The cable is LS0H (low smoke zero halogen) and available in prepackaged lengths or in bulk.
LED DESCRIPTIONS There are four LED indicators on the front of the unit, as shown below. SYNC STAT The SYS, ERR, and SYNC LEDs show the status of the Dante chipset. The STAT LED indicates the state of the hardware and 3rd party control software. There are two LEDs on the Ethernet / PoE RJ45 port.

The settings cleared to default values include, but are not limited to, the following: • Dante device name • IP address (dynamic) • Audio routes • Pre-amp gains (0 dB) • High-pass filters (15 Hz) • Low-pass filters (off/bypassed) • LED outputs (off) THIRD-PARTY API: NETWORK DEVICE CONTROL In addition to Dante audio streams, the DN4 microphone interface provides logic and...
UPDATING DANTE FIRMWARE Audinate periodically updates the fi rmware for Dante devices and off ers a utility for updating devices over the network. Refer to the Dante Firmware Update Manager User Guide for instructions on how to use the Audinate update utility, including how to recover from failsafe mode.
APPENDIX A: ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY GUIDE The Audix Dante | AES67 Integrated Microphone System is designed to eliminate the need to fabricate RJ45 microphone connections. If custom connections are desired, use the diagrams below. The LED (Logic Out) output lines provide 5V outputs and can drive up to 10 mA of current, enough to power LEDs directly without additional circuitry.
