DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. DAX Background The DAX unit was designed as a simple Digital to Analog Converter which would accept up to 10 AES/EBU conforming signals and convert them into multi-channel analog audio. There are two versions available. The DAX-802 converts 5 screen channels, 2 surrounds and the subwoofer/LFE. The DAX-602 is almost the same but does not convert LC and RC screen channels.

1. Input Power - 12VDC @ 1A power supply 2. Digital Input - AES/EBU balanced line input. Both USL and DMA8 connector formats are supported. 3. Ethernet Port - For communication with the user interface. 4. Hearing Impaired / Visually Impaired - Narration (HI/VI-N) Output - Balanced or unbalanced line audio output. 5. Surround Delay Select Switch - Allows the surround audio to be delayed. 6. Delay Active LED - Indicates when the delay switch is actual delay setting. 7.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Setting the Surround Delay The LS/RS channels may be delayed between 0 and 150ms in 10ms steps. Calculate the surround delay by using the following formula: D = L - (W/2) +20 Where D = Delay in ms L = Auditorium length in feet W = Auditorium width in feet. Using a small, flat bladed screwdriver, set the LS/RS DELAY control to the value closest to the calculated value.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Setting up the DAX-602 Mono/Surround mode: 1) Remove the four side screws that hold on the cover. 2) Place the two jumpers in the position shown in the picture below. 3) Replace the cover. (See page 18) 4) Adjust output levels Center: -6dB, Left/Right: -3dB, LS/RS: -6dB to prevent output overload.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. AES/EBU Channel Assignments: The Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) specification defines only channel pairs (1-16) and not audio locations (Left , Right, etc.). Until the relationship is specified, USL will use those established previously in the cinema industry. Two AES/EBU pinouts are commonly used in the industry. The DMA8 pinout is the Dolby® standard. The USL pinout was specified in a SMPTE recommended practice that was never published.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Analog Output Connector: (25 pin D sub Male) (Balanced or Unbalanced Line) Note: In Unbalanced mode the negative signal MUST be connected to ground. To minimize ground loop hum, the negative side of the output should be connected to ground at the signal desination instead of at the DAX. Twisted pair shielded cable should be used.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Web Interface The Ethernet interface on the DAX series allows remote monitoring and control of the device through a web interface. In addition, firmware upgrades are accomplished through the same web interface Initial Configuration The DAX units are shipped with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol client enabled. Further, the DAX supports the use of NETBIOS, so it is possible to connect to the device by name instead of by IP address.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Using IP Autoconfiguration and NETBIOS If no network with a DHCP server is available, connect a computer to the DAX using a network “crossover” cable. Some recent computers can use a standard “straight through” cable, but a crossover cable will always work. Many computers support “IP Autoconfiguration” where the computer chooses an IP address in the 169.254.x.y range.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. On the Configuration Page, you can change the Host Name (NETBIOS name) the device responds to. If you disable DHCP, you can set a static IP address, gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers. DNS servers need not be specified. Once these are set, click on “Save IP Config and Reboot.” The DAX will restart with the new configuration. You will need to key the new IP address in to the address field of your web browser to re-establish contact.
DAX-602/802 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ultra Stereo Labs, Inc. Select the update file provided by USL, then click on “Update DAX.” The update process will take several minutes. When it is almost complete, you will see the LEDs on the front of the DAX flash. The web browser will then show an empty screen. You can then type the IP address or host name in the browser address field to re-establish communications with the unit.
