User manual RANE MONGOOSE DATASHEET

[. . . ] Standard CAT 5 cable and termination transport four digital audio channels ­ two channels in each direction ­ as well as power, ground and a communications channel via Rane's proprietary RAD Network. RAD NETWORK CAT 5 CABLE CONTENTS Data communications (COMM) 2 digital audio channels (Rx) 2 digital audio channels (Tx) Power: 24 VDC & ground LINE INPUT SIG / OL Features · 32 by 32 digital audio matrix router. · Receive 2 and transmit 2 CobraNet Bundles. · Supports up to 32 digital audio channels from up to 8 RADs. · Ethernet port supports DHCP, Zeroconf (Link-local & mDNS) & Auto MDI/MDIX. [. . . ] Mongoose Tracker requires a computer running Microsoft Windows® XP (Service Pack 2 or 3) or any version of Vista or 7 (including 64-bit) with an Ethernet port. Data Sheet - 2 Extend digital audio beyond your CobraNet network Configurations Basic RAD to RAD Analog runs are replaced with digital runs.

While delivering superb sound quality in the cafetorium, it also ties in with the existing school paging system, and provides the possibility of additional functionality in the future (as new RADs are introduced). Data Sheet - 4 · Two RAD1s are installed at the stage front for four mics. · Two RAD4s are installed high on the wall near the speakers. It is a prime target for the Mongoose because of the low channel count in each room and the scattered locations of each audio input and output. This system requires more than eight RADs and, therefore, requires more than one Mongoose. These examples and more are described in greater detail in the Mongoose Design Manual, downloadable at www. rane. com/ mongoose. There you can download the Mongoose Installation Manual, example Tracker Configuration files, DWG and JPG files of the Mongoose and RADs, and the latest software. www. rane. com/mongoose Data Sheet - 5 MONGOOSE Extend digital audio beyond your CobraNet network Labor Factors & Termination Advantages INPUTS OUTPUTS 4 + ­ + DSP 8 + ­ + 7 ­ + 6 ­ + 5 ­ 3 ­ + 2 ­ + 1 ­ + 8 ­ + 7 ­ + 6 ­ + 5 ­ + 4 ­ + 3 ­ + 2 ­ + 1 ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ Insert hum and RFI here Old method (before Mongoose) represents 96 analog audio terminations.
