OVERVIEW
The Glensound DARK8ADI is an analogue to digital converter designed to connect
AES3 and line level analogue audio circuits to a DANTE® / AES67 audio network.
DANTE® network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear
audio over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment
manufacturers. The Glensound DARK8ADI DANTE® audio interface will be
compatible with any other manufacturers DANTE® audio interface. Further details of
DANTE® network audio can be found at www.audinate.com
Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the Glensound DARK8ADI has
been designed with multiple redundancy capabilities. It has 2 mains power sources
and it also has fully redundant network connections for both Copper & Fibre circuits.
The DARK8ADI has 4 balanced AES3 inputs and 8 balanced analogue inputs on
rear panel XLR connectors. In total 16 audio circuits are sent to the Dante® network
from the device. 8 of these audio circuits are derived from both the AES3 and
Analogue inputs with the AES3 input being sent to the output when a valid AES3
siganl is detected, if no valid AES3 signal is present then the analogue audio input
wil be sent to the Dante® network in its place. The other 8 channels being sent to the
nmewtork are always derived from the 4 x AES3 inputs.
The Glensound Dark8ADI utilises Audinate’s Brooklyn module for its aoip network
interface, therefore it is also AES67 compliant.

DARK8ADI FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
1. PSU and Link status
There are 4 red LEDs and 4 green LEDs that illuminate depending on the
status of the link. Red indicates no connection, green indicates a successful
connection.
For example, if you have connected the DARK8ADI to two separate PSUs,
only one of which works then you will have a red ‘Fault’ LED illuminate to
warn you that there is no power detected on the connection that is not
receiving mains power.
2. Alarm status connection
This 8-way female D-type connector will report the failure of a link status if
one is detected whilst in operation.
3. USB connector and update buttons
The MINI USB connection allows the firmware of the DARK1616S to be
updated. To prepare the DARK1616S for a firmware update; power on the
unit, press and hold down the reset button, press and hold down the identify
button, release the reset button and then release the identify button a second
after.

4. Network SFP Connections
There are 2 standard network data SFP sockets provided to allow redundant
network connectivity if using DANTE® network audio protocol. They are both
gigabit network connections. They accept standard SFP modules. The status
LEDs flash to show when data is being correctly communicated with the
attached switch.
quotation.
Network Note
Factory default is to have the SFP & RJ45 sockets set to work in redundant
mode.
It is possible using DANTE® controller to set these network interfaces to work
as a network switch instead of the redundant mode, meaning other network
equipment can be connected to them.
5. Network RJ45 connections
There are 2 standard network data RJ45 sockets provided to allow redundant
network connectivity if using DANTE® network audio protocol. They are both
gigabit network connections. The status LEDs flash to show when data is
being correctly communicated with the attached switch.
