Technology Overview

Introduction to Dash

The Dash DSP Controller is a Windows-based, full-featured application that configures and controls the DSP hardware.

Systems can be designed to perfectly match specifications and conform as requirements change or evolve. All classes of

audio processing modules for signal routing and shaping are provided.

Dash provides a revolutionary way of thinking about DSP software. This is a software designed by audio professionals for

audio professionals. It uses an interface layout that will be very intuitive to even the most novice integrator yet

extremely powerful in its capabilities.

Quick Start

1. Install Dash software.

2. Connect DTX DSP to the same network as the computer running Dash.

3. Use the PoE connection on a DTX-44D, use the LAN connection on all other DTX devices.

4. Open Dash.

5. Click the plus (+) sign in the Device tab row.

6. Select a template that matches the device you are connecting.

7. Click the ‘Device List’ in the top right corner of Dash.

8. Select the desired device from the list of discovered devices and click ‘Set IP’.

9. Change the IP from the default 169.254.10.227 to a valid, unused static address on the active subnet.

10. Click ‘Connect’.

11. The green ‘LED’ next to the device name on the Device tab should now be green.

12. You are all set!

Safety Instructions

Please review the following safety precautions. Ifthis is the first time using this model, then read this manual before installing

or using the product. If the product is not functioning properly, please contact your local dealer or Aurora for further

instructions.

The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage inside the product

that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the case. It is also used to indicate

improper installation or handling of the product that could damage the electrical system in the product or in other

equipment attached to the product.

The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance instructions.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the product.

Be careful with electricity:

Power Outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the product power cord matches

the electrical outlet used to supply power to the Aurora product. Use the power adapter and power connection

cables designed for this unit.

Power Cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy items.

Lightning: For protection from lightning or when the product is left unattended for a long period, disconnect

it from the power source.

Also follow these precautions:

Ventilation: Do not block ventilation slots, if applicable, on the product, or place any heavy object on top of

it. Blocking airflow could cause damage. Arrange components so that air can flow freely. Ensure that there

is adequate ventilation if the product is placed in a stand or cabinet. Put the product in a properly ventilated

area, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.

Overheating: Avoid stacking the Aurora product on top of a hot component, such as a power amplifier.

Risk of Fire: Do not place unit on top of any easily combustible material, such as carpet or fabric.

Proper Connections: Be sure all cables and equipment are connected to the unit as described in this manual.

Object Entry: To avoid electric shock, never stick anything in the slots on the case, or remove the cover.

Water Exposure: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose to rain or moisture.

Cleaning: Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean this unit. Always unplug the power to the device

before cleaning.



ESD: Handle this unit with proper ESC care. Failure to do so can result in failure.

FCC

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two (2) conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Front Panel Features

USB (Audio) – USB 2.0 Type A connector. Used in conjunction with the USB Sound card feature. Requires a USB

Type-A to USB Type-A cable, included in box. The USB connection can also be used as a sound card with a PC or

Mac using a generic HID audio. The driver will appear as a “Crestone USB Soundcard” in your computers sound

settings.

Status LED – A green LED indicates network connectivity on the LAN connection.

Power LED – A green LED indicates power to the unit is good.

I/O LEDs – A green LED indicates analog connectivity.

Rear Panel Features

Dante Ethernet – Primary and secondary Ethernet connections for Dante audio. Secondary connection can be used

for to provide redundancy for the Dante audio network or can be used to daisy chain additional devices. PoE is

not passed on.

DTX-44D – 10/100Mbps, PoE PD (15W) on top connector

All Others – 10/100/1000Mbps, no PoE

NOTE: This port has different MAC and IP addresses than the LAN Control Interface (not applicable on DTX-44D).

DC Power Input – 12VDC, 10W, center positive power Input. Provides alternate power source to PoE. Can be used

simultaneously with PoE for redundant power.

GPIO – General Purpose I/O. The function of the GPIO pins can be configured in the GPIO Settings section of the

Dash Software. Mating connectors provided in box.

Below are general definitions of the GPIO depending on how they are defined in Dash:

GPIO Input: The port value is considered ‘High’ if the voltage applied to the ‘D’ pin is greater than 2VDC. The port

value is considered ‘Low’ if the voltage applied to the pin is less than 0.3VDC. Input pins can support up to 12VDC.

GPIO Output: When the port is triggered ‘High’, the ‘D’ pin will output 5VDC with a drive current of 100mA; when

triggered ‘Low’ the pin will equal ground. The maximum total current if all 8 pins are configured as outputs is

500mA.

GPIO ADC Input: When the port is configured as an ADC input, an external potentiometer can be connected as a

volume control.

LAN Control Interface – 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet control interface. Use this interface to connect to Dash control

software or to use UDP commands from a third-party source.

NOTE: This port has different MAC and IP addresses than the Dante Audio ports.

AC Power Input/Switch – 110-240VAC 50/60Hz, 40W Max power inlet via IEC 320 C14 socket. Main power switch

for unit must be in the ON (I) position for normal operation.

Ground Lug – Ground lug to provide chassis ground. Secure to earth ground according to code.
