Controls

PANEL FRONTAL

1. USB type B CONFIGURATION port to update the unit’s software by connecting a PC/Mac*.

2. AES50 audio status LEDs show the status of each AES50 port, where OK pulsates to show good communication and ERROR shows a communication error.

3. Snake status LEDs show the status of the connected snake (optical or copper), where OK pulsates when the link is synchronized and ERROR flashes to show no communications or a fault.

4. THE SNAKE SELECTION section lets you choose which type of snake is currently in use (optical or copper).

5. SAMPLE RATE section lets you choose the sample rate (96 kHz or 48 kHz).

6. CLOCK SOURCE section lets you choose the clock source, where: INTERNAL = the DN9620’s internally generated clock is used; EXTERNAL AES50 = the DN9620 automatically searches the AES50 ports for the first valid clock; and EXTERNAL SNAKE = the clock on the snake connection is used.

7. Backlit Klark Teknik roundel, which illuminates light blue to show that the unit is powered up.

8. Ventilation grill.
   REAR PANEL

9. Mains power inlet. This is a switch-mode power supply that has a mains IEC socket (9a), power on/off switch (9c) and a fuse drawer (9b) that houses an easily replaceable mains fuse.

10. Snake connectors for connecting the DN9620 to another AES50-enabled device. You can connect a fiber optic connector to the optical connector of the OPTICAL port (10a) or a Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper snake to the etherCON connector of the COPPER port (10b). Please note that optical and copper snakes cannot be used simultaneously.
