SL Room Control
Once a StudioLive AI-series loudspeaker has the SL-Dante-SPK option installed, Input
Mode switching and Dante network detection will be available in SL Room Control.
3.1
Input Modes
Dante-enabled StudioLive AI-series loudspeakers are provided with three input
modes:
•
Dante Only: This mode disables the analog inputs on your loudspeaker whether
or not it is on the Dante network.
•
Analog Only: This mode disables the Dante Receive channels to your
loudspeaker whether or not it is connected to a Dante network. When a Dante
network is available, the Analog Inputs on your loudspeaker can be sent through
your loudspeaker’s Transmit channels.
•
Full-range: Because the analog inputs on StudioLive AI-series full-range
loudspeakers are summed before the analog-to-digital converters, both
Transmit channels will both carry the same summed signal of the mic and
line inputs.
•
18sAI: Unlike the full-range models, the analog inputs on the StudioLive
18sAI subwoofer are summed in the DSP engine. So each input has its own
Transmit channel (i.e., Transmit Channel 1 will carry the signal from analog
Input 1, and Transmit Channel 2 will carry the signal from analog Input 2).
•
Analog Failover: The SL-Dante-SPK does not support network redundancy over
Dante. However, by enabling Analog Failover, you can use the analog connections
on your loudspeakers as backup. When no Dante sync is detected for one second,
your loudspeaker will automatically switch to the analog inputs. This is the default
setting for your loudspeaker.
Input modes can be selected from the Speaker Edit page of SL Room Control. Simply
click or tap on the Input mode and select the desired mode. You can select a different
Input mode for each Dante-enabled loudspeaker on the network.
3.2
Dante Lock
The Dante lock indicator is visible both on the Speaker Edit and Monitor pages. This
indicator allows you to easily see whether your loudspeaker is connected to and
communicating with your Dante network.
When the Dante network is available, the Dante Lock indicator will illuminate white.
If no Dante network connection is detected, the Dante Lock indicator will
illuminate red.
