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.
