AC IN Connector

Connect the supplied AC power cord here. First, 
connect the power cord to the device, then insert the 
power cord plug into the AC outlet.
The supplied power cord features a special latching 
mechanism (V-LOCK) to prevent the power cord 
from being accidentally disconnected. Connect the 
power cord by inserting the power cord fully until it is 
locked.

CAUTION:

Be sure to turn the power off 
before connecting or 
disconnecting the power cord.
Press the latch button on the 
plug to disconnect the power 
cord.

D

[PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors

The Ri8-D/Ro8-D can be connected to other 
Dante-compatible devices (such as a CL-series 
product) via these RJ45 connectors using standard 
Ethernet cables (CAT5e or better recommended).
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set upward (to 
DAISY CHAIN), audio signals coming into one of 
these connectors will be output from the other. Refer 
to “Daisy Chain Network” in the “About Connections” 
section (see page 14) for more information on daisy 
chain connections.
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set downward (to 
REDUNDANT), the [PRIMARY] connector will be 
used for primary connection, and the [SECONDARY] 
connector will be used for secondary (backup) 
connection. If the unit is unable to transmit signals 
through the [PRIMARY] connector for some reason 
(e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of the 
cable, or a failed network switch), the [SECONDARY] 
connector will automatically take over the 
connection. Refer to “About Redundant Networks” in 
the “About Connections” section (see page 14) for 
more information on redundant networks.

NOTE

•

Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent 
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal 
parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP 
cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.

•

Connect only Dante-compatible devices or 
GbE-compatible devices (including a computer).

E

[LINK/ACT] Indicators

These indicators show the communication status of 
the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors.
They flash fast if the Ethernet cables are connected 
properly. 

F

[1G] Indicators

These indicators light when the Dante network is 
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.

G

Grounding screw

Grounding of chassis shall be sufficiently connected 
via a power supply cord as long as AC socket is 
grounded since the attached power supply cord is a 
triplex cable.In addition, connecting this screw to 
ground may prevent hum noise or interference noise.
