Product Description
StageConnect – The Future of XLR
- What if any standard XLR or DMX cable could be used to transmit more than one channel of audio?
- What if that cable could transmit signals not only one way, but bi-directionally?
- What if that cable would allow the passage of control data or even MIDI at the same time?
- What if a connected StageConnect device could receive up to 18 W of power through that same cable?
Well, these capabilities are exactly what StageConnect delivers – a new interface standard to be released by Music Tribe after two years of development. The Klark Teknik DN48XX Series is one of the first available I/O-Interfaces based on the StageConnect standard. This new standard comes with outstanding technical specs: 32 channels of uncompressed PCM audio in various I/O configurations, 24-bit at 48 kHz, below 0.5 ms of latency.
For optimum performance and long cable runs 110 Ohm DMX cable is required.
Ecosystem and Beyond
The DN48XX Series is the first generation of I/O Interfaces for the new StageConnect ecosystem. StageConnect was introduced with the Behringer WING mixing console. Even though the DN48XX Series was designed with the WING console in mind the devices can be used with all StageConnect devices like HUB4. The StageConnect Ecosystem opens a wide field of audio devices. May it be several I/O devices spread over the Stage or equipment in the siderack – the use cases for the DN48XX Series StageConnect Interfaces are virtually endless.
Cascade Interfaces to Meet Your Requirements
No matter if you want to use StageConnect for connecting wireless systems, external effects or playback systems, the devices of the DN48XX Series can easily be daisy-chained to meet the requirements of your respective I/O configurations. With a total bandwidth of 32 channels, all combinations ranging from 32 inputs over 16 In and outputs in parallel to 32 outputs can be achieved using different combinations of DN48XX interfaces connected using a simple XLR cable.
Power Via DC or StageConnect
The DN48XX Series devices can be powered via DC or via StageConnect. By design every SC Master provides 18W of power that can be used by devices in the chain. Depending on the respective power consumption multiple devices in the chain can be phantom powered by a single Master device. It should be noted that an SC device in the chain that is supplied with DC power can supply other devices connected to its Master port as well. To check your respective setup for power consumption, use the StageConnect Calculator (SSC Tool). This tool checks a virtually configured chain for the DMX cable lengths, power supply, audio routing and other parameters.
Automatic Bus Configuration
There are two ways to configure an SC chain. Either you can manually configure the chain using devices like WING or let the Automatic Bus Configuration do its work. This process adapts the input and output configuration of the SC Bus depending on the connected devices. Simply connect devices and the Master device of the chain will automatically change the routing. To check and plan setups the SSC Tool software is available, providing information about the routing and DMX cable length, power management and other parameters.
Analogue Outputs for IEM Transmitters
DN4816-I features 16 balanced line-level outputs that can carry up to 8 stereo mixes separated from the Console. All you need to do is mount the DN4816-I to your wireless rack and connect it to your console using a single XLR cable. This way you can save local outputs, reduce setup time and increase reliability considerably. Alternatively, these analogue outputs can also be used as spare outputs on stage receiving signals directly from the FOH consoles, e.g. for providing talkback or side fill outputs.
ULTRANET – Seamless Integration
The well-established ultranet technology transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio via a single CAT5 cable between compatible digital devices. The DN48XX Series devices serve Ultranet connectivity for translation between StageConnect and Ultranet. This way more than 1 million Ultranet-Products in the market like the P16 monitoring system, AIR mixers and Turbosound speakers can be integrated in the StageConnect ecosystem.
StageConnect Calculator
The StageConnect Calculator (SCC Tool) is a tool that can be used for checking and planning setups. You can create a virtual SC chain to study the upstream and downstream routing. The calculator also indicates parameters maximum DMX cable lengths, power budget and the overall stability of your connection.
You can virtually change the configuration of individual devices, change their order and intuitively add or remove devices from the chain. This allows you to explore the possibilities of routing signals through the new ecosystem.
