Active Ceiling Speaker for
Dante Audio Networks
These instructions are intended for install­
ers with knowledge in network technol­
ogy. Please read the instructions carefully
prior to operation and keep them for later
reference.
1 Applications
This speaker is specially designed for PA systems
based on Dante audio networks. It is suitable
for installation into a lightweight ceiling with
panels with a maximum thickness of 40 mm.
The speaker features a 2­way speaker system
and a Class D amplifier. With a maximum digi­
tal input signal, the amplifier will provide 30 W
of power.
The network will provide the speaker with
power via PoE (Power over Ethernet).
1.1 Dante
Dante, an audio network developed by the
company Audinate, allows transmission of
up to 512 audio channels at the same time.
Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ether­
net) uses a common Ethernet standard and is
based on the Internet protocol. The transmis­
sion of audio signals is uncompressed and syn­
chronized, with minimum latency. The advan­
tage over analog audio signal transmission is
a cost­effective connection of components via
standard network cables and low susceptibility
to interference, even in case of long transmis­
sion paths. In addition, signal routing between
components that have once been connected
can be changed by software at any time.
In the Dante network, units configured as
transmitters are used as signal sources. Units
such as EDL­80DT configured as receivers
receive the signals from the Dante network.
The transmitting channels and reception
channels are assigned in the Dante network via
the Dante configuration program "Dante Con­
troller" ( ☞ chapter 4). The Ethernet interface
is also configured via this program (
ter 4.2). For correct configuration, knowledge
in network technology is indispensable.

2 Important Notes

The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of
the EU is therefore marked with
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Pro­
tect it against dripping water, splash water
and high air humidity. The admissible ambi­
ent temperature range is 0 – 40 °C.
•
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
use water or chemicals.
•
No guarantee claims for the unit and no
liability for any resulting personal damage
or material damage will be accepted if the
unit is used for other purposes than originally
intended, if it is not correctly installed, or if it
is not repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harmful
to the environment.

3 Installation

1) Saw out a mounting hole (⌀ 240 mm).
2) Remove the protective grille (3): Turn the
clamping latches (2) to the outside and then
carefully press out the grille.
3) For connection to a Dante network, use a
Cat 5 cable or Cat 6 cable to connect the
RJ45 jack INPUT (1) to an Ethernet switch that
at least supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit / s
Ethernet).
This connection will also supply the speaker
with power via the network (e. g. via a net­
work switch with PoE supply). To obtain the
maximum power, use a PoE supply according
to the standard IEEE 802.3at­2009 "PoE+"
(e. g. TPE­TG44G).
4) Turn the four clamping latches (2) to the
inside and then place the speaker into the
mounting hole.
5) Fasten the screws of the clamping latches:
The latches will turn outwards and secure
the speaker at the ceiling panel.
6) Insert the protective grille.
