Cabling System and Distro Racks

ADAPTive systems come complete with purpose-

built data and power cabling as well as all

necessary power distribution units (PDUs), Distro

Racks, panels and switches. Each cluster is self-

contained and only requires mains power, audio

signal and network connectivity to operate. (User

must provide XLR cabling if the system is operated

with analog audio inputs.)

Each Distro Rack contains the following

(maximum):

•(2) Motion Labs™ PDU (8 circuits for 6x

ADAPTive modules + 2x switches)

•(2) Netgear® Prosafe® 16-Port Network Data Switches [GS716T-200]

•Link USA™ Network Distribution Panel

Each fully-loaded Distro Rack is capable of supplying up to 12 ADAPTive modules with full power and

with complete data redundancy. If the user elects not to employ data redundancy, each Distro Rack

could supply 24 ADAPTive modules with network connectivity and audio signal, but additional PDUs

would be required to deliver AC power.)

Audio/Data Connections

Dante™ Digital Audio & Control Network

EAW recommends that users deliver digital audio and control signals via Ethernet and the Dante™

protocol using the fully redundant network.

Connect a CAT5e (or higher) cable from a Dante™-capable platform to the Distro Rack input

etherCON™ network connector to pass Dante™ Digital Audio signal. Two sets of etherCON™

connectors provide complete redundancy, and switchover from one data port to the other is

automatic.

To ensure synchronous arrival of audio, modules within each cluster MUST be cabled in a star

topology, connecting each module directly to the Distro Rack with a short or long multipin etherCON™

cable loom. For redundancy, a secondary cable loom connects to the secondary etherCON™ port which

ties into a secondary data switch.

Thanks to latency compensation capabilities within the Dante™ protocol, it is possible to daisy-chain

multiple Distro Racks together (all ADAPTive modules connected in a star topology) while still

maintaining synchronous output.

To ensure correct cabling, ADAPTive Systems include a cable package based around 6-module fan-out

looms of customized lengths as well as extenders. This system supports a variety of array lengths.

(Refer to Table below for quantities of looms and extensions for each configuration.)

*Array size results in a Design Factor of less than the recommended 10:1. Refer to EAW Resolution for

further details.

Cable lengths are as follows:

Short Loom:6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 feet (6 tails)

Long Loom:18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 feet (6 tails)

Extension: 24 feet

Though not required, LK54 extenders may to facilitate remote placement of Distro Racks.

NOTE: Though field-tested and highly reliable, multicore junctions carrying Ethernet data reduce the

network’s resistance to interference and data loss. In all cases, it is strongly recommended to minimize

the number of extensions and multicore couplings used in a given system. Wherever possible, use of a

single extender is best.

The two, identical, locking Neutrik® etherCON™ connectors on the rear of each module combine an

RJ45 connector with a locking shell. They are designed for connecting Ethernet audio and control

signals between additional modules and other Dante™ enabled devices. It is critical that users connect

the Primary port to the primary network, and the Secondary port to the secondary network. Crossing

network ports and networks (i.e. connecting the Primary port to the Secondary network) will result in

communication errors.

While the ADAPTive systems provide a complete data and power cabling solution, users can consult

the cable and connector information below to develop their own cabling solutions if desired to meet

specific challenges they face in system deployment. It is critical that all components of any user-

provided solution meet these specifications.

Cable: Ethernet CAT5e UTP or better (300 feet/91 meters maximum)

etherCON™ Connector: RJ45 with or without Neutrik® NE8MC cable carrier

Multi-Pin Connector: Link USA™ LK54P (female end on looms, male end on panels)

Green Status LED: A link has been established with another device.

Orange Status LED: Data is being transferred to/from this port.

Analog Audio

Users wishing to deliver analog audio signal must provide their own XLR cables. The two XLR-type

connectors on the rear of each module, one female and one male, are designed for professional audio

signal levels, nominally 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). Normally, use the female XLR as the signal input. Use the

male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal input to additional modules. For correct

system operation, it is critical that all modules within an array or cluster receive an identical input

signal. All signal processing is performed within each module.

The wiring convention is as follows:

Pin 1: Shield

Pin 2: +/Hot

Pin 3: -/Cold

Once an analog signal has been connected to one module within a system, that module can act as a

Dante™ on-ramp and transmit digital audio data to the rest of the networked modules via Dante™.

Though users may choose to loop analog audio to all modules in an array for additional redundancy, it

is not necessary to do so.

AES/EBU

Users wishing to deliver digital audio using the AES/EBU standard must provide their own XLR cables.

Connect the output from your AES/EBU digital audio source to the XLR-3F Input connector on the rear

panel. Do not use loop-through connector when running system with AES/EBU input. Due to induced

latency, loop output does not pass AES/EBU signals.

Once an AES/EBU signal has been connected to one module within a system,

that module can act as a Dante™ on-ramp and transmit digital audio data to all other networked

modules via Dante™. Users need not supply every module with AES/EBU audio.

AC Mains Connection

Power is supplied to each module from the provided Motion Laboratories™ power distribution unit(s),

or PDU(s). One PDU is capable of powering six (6) modules, as well as two data switches. Up to two

PDUs may be mounted in a Distro Rack, but each PDU must be powered directly from the AC mains

source; they cannot be looped and should not be ‘wyed’. Please ensure that your main AC service is

rated appropriately for the total current draw of the system, plus any supplemental electronics.

US version with L21-30 inlet

International version with CEEform 32A connector

An included industry-standard 19-pin Socapex™-to- powerCON™ TRUE1™ breakout cable distributes

power from the PDU to six ADAPTive modules. All modules use Neutrik® powerCON™ TRUE1™

connectors, and the tail lengths of each Neutrik® powerCON™ TRUE1™ are designed to connect to six

modules in a column without excess slack. (Refer to Table below for quantities of looms and extensions

for each configuration.)

Do not attempt to utilize standard 20A or 32A powerCON™ connectors. They

will not fit and may damage the module, and/or cause injury to the user.

Mains power is supplied to each PDU via an L21-30 (US) or CEEform 32A

(International) connector.

ADAPTive electronics modules will operate on voltages ranging from 90 to

265V AC, 50/60 Hz. No module setting changes are necessary to switch

between regional voltage ranges (120, 208, 220, etc.)

As with data, ADAPTive systems include pre-defined AC power cable

assemblies with tails and extensions, based around 6-module fan-out looms

of varying lengths, as well as extenders. This system supports a variety of

array lengths:

CAUTION: There isno power switch on the loudspeaker. When connected to the AC mains, the

loudspeaker will be fully operational, with the output level controlled by the signal source feeding the

loudspeaker as well as by internal DSP.

CAUTION: The supplied ACmains plug may not beappropriate for local AC mains receptacles. Ifnot,

have a qualified electrician remove the existing ACmains plug andinstall a plug appropriate for the AC

mains supply receptacle andfollowing all local codes.

CAUTION: The chassis ofthis product isgrounded through the grounding conductor of the power

cord. Toavoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired andgrounded receptacle

before making any connections to oroperating the product.

Electrical Warnings

AC MAINS SUPPLY

WARNING: Read all instruction andcautionary notes concerning electrical power in the EAW

Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual.

AC Mains Cable

The ACmains cables supplied with the MotionLabs PDU mate with the Neutrik® powerCON™ TRUE1 AC

MAINS jack onthe loudspeaker.

TRUE1 refers toboth TRUE1™ and TRUE1 TOP™. Phase indate depends on product.

WARNING: Ensure that ACpower supply has a properly grounded safety ground. Failure tofollow this

warning could cause equipment damage, injury, ordeath.

Rigging

ADAPTive arrays are intended tobesuspended orground-stacked. This section details how to

physically configure an ADAPTive Series column.The following are the recommended methods for

most situations. Specific situations may require other methods. Itis the user’s responsibility to

determine the viability andsafety for alternate methods andimplement them accordingly.

ANote about Splay Angles

The Anya system requires no splay angles, with modules designed tobe tight-packed in a straight

vertical orientation. Vertical directivity is controlled exclusively via DSP.

Warnings

WARNING: Suspending anything, especially overhead of people, should be done with extreme caution.

Always engage the services of a certified professional who is qualified to determine the requirements

for and to implement overhead rigging. Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe

rigging techniques should attempt to suspend ADAPTive module columns overhead. Failure to follow

these precautions may result in damage, injury, or death.

DANGER: When suspending or stacking ADAPTive modules, avoid placing any parts of the body

between the enclosures or between an enclosure and the Flybar. Always use the integral handles to lift

or position enclosures. Failure to follow this precaution may result in damage, injury, or death.

CAUTION: The physical size of each ADAPTive product means that more than one person will be

required to lift and carry it. However, always use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury. Use good

judgment to determine if you need lifting assistance such as another person, a back support belt, or

mechanical assistance.

IMPORTANT RIGGING WARNING: Each captive Rigging Pin is used to attach modules together within

an internal rigging substructure integral to the enclosures. There is no option to splay each module and

the modules are only designed to be flown in a straight vertical orientation. Use the correct holes on

the Flybar as determined by EAW Resolution 2, based on rigging conditions and weight restrictions.

Ground Stacking

ADAPTive columns may be ground-stacked. Normally, a ground-stacked main column is used where

suspension is not possible, too difficult, or too time-consuming. The ADAPTive Caster Pallets may be

used to stack up to four modules. Ensure that the casters are chocked and that the ground or stage is

plumb and level.

WARNING: Ground-stacked columns, especially the maximum recommended columns requires

assembly by personnel qualified to ensure adequate stability from tip over for the particular

application.

Flying

Suspension Load Rating – Working Load Limits (WLL) .

CAUTION: Different combinations of modules and Flybar mounting locations allow for a variety of

hanging positions which creates unique loading of stresses on structural members in any given column.

Always consult Resolution for specific WLL information for any given column configuration.

WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the attachment to the Flybar, the rigging

method, and attachment to structure are inspected by a certified professional who is qualified to

determine the requirements for and implement overhead rigging.
