EtherSound Connection
Digital Mixers Without a [REMOTE] Connector
Use an EtherSound interface card such as the MY16-ES64 to make EtherSound connections between
the digital mixer and DME units. Use an Ethernet cable connected to the [NETWORK] connectors to
make connections between DME series units.
The port to be used for head amp control via direct serial communication with a DME unit is specified
by the [Internal HA Control] parameter in the “Misc” tab in the “Utility” dialog box (page 166). Select
“Slot 1” when the DME unit to be used for serial communication is a DME24N, “Slot 3” or “Slot 4” if it is
a DME64N, or “EtherSound” if it is a DME Satellite unit. The settings for all other DME units should be
“OFF”.
Use the AVS-ESMonitor software from AuviTran to specify the following EtherSound settings for both
the digital mixer’s interface card and the DME unit.
Serial Communication mode: Unicast for bidirectional operation.
AD8HR Remote Option: Mode 2
Baud Rate: 38400
In order to turn serial communication off for the interface cards installed in all other DME units, set the
Serial Communication mode to “Slave”.
NOTE
As of July 2008 only the LS9 is the only digital mixer that supports CobraNet connection.
When installing an MY16-ES64 or similar EtherSound interface card in an LS9-32, be sure to install it in SLOT 1. Also
select “SLOT 1” using the COMM PORT parameter in the LS9 EXTERNAL HA display.
DME24N units with firmware version V3.04 or later are compatible.
•You can download the AVS-ESMonitor software from the AuviTran website.
