ANALOG FALLBACK
Analog Fallback is intended to provide analog audio redundancy of the digital audio inputs. It works with
both NXDT104mk2 (Dante
TM
) and NXAE104 (AES/EBU).
Analog Fallback (and digital audio) still works on NXAMPmk2 with NXDT104 (Dante
TM
) and NXES104
(Ethersound
TM
), even if remote control is reduced to NXAMPmk1 controllable parameters set (cannot control
new mk2 functions).
This function works by muting the analog inputs while the audio network is OK (see below for details). If the
audio network fails, the analog inputs are automatically unmuted. If the audio network comes back, then the
analog inputs are muted again.
NB: All analog and digital inputs are still available for NXAMPmk2 patching when Analog Fallback is used.
But analog inputs will be muted if audio network is running.
If the Analog fallback mode is ON, and the audio from Network (Dante
TM
, AES/EBU or Ethersound
TM
) is
missing, the NXAMPmk2 will display the following message:
- When used with NXDT104mk2. Detection of a valid audio network when using NXDT104mk2 is based
on audio subscription. It means that the NXDT104mk2 is checking if audio packets from the Dante
TM
Transmitter(s) are received correctly. If the network fails somewhere (cable removed, transmitter
switched off or excessive packet loss), the analog inputs will be unmuted, even if the NXAMPmk2 is still
connected to the network and the remote control is still working.
If for example, the NXAMPmk2 n°2 does not received the audio packets from the subscribed source
(here the mixer) then it will unmute the analog inputs, as shown below.
