1 - Overview

The unD3IO DanteAudio interface is a cost effective multi-IO wall box and is designed to fit into most dual gang US

junction boxes. Its size and I/O density make it easy to put Dante connectivity wherever it’s needed – near the audio

source or sink –thereby eliminating costly and interference prone analog wiring.

Figure 1 - unD3IO front view

The unD3IO features two Dante input and two Dante output channels. The analog I/O are configurable via software to

support different connectivity configurations. The XLR connector provides balanced mic/line audio to Dante output

channel 1. However, the second Dante output comes from one of three possible input mixes:

oA mono mix of the RCA jack inputs

oA mono-mix of the 3.5mm stereo jack inputs

oA combined mix of the RCA inputs and the stereo jack inputs

The user can select which mix they require through the control software.

The unD3IO has two output options. An XLR connector provides a balanced line output for analog output 1 only, and a

3.5mm stereo jack connector provides an unbalanced line level output for both analog output 1 and analog output 2.

Both output connectors may be used simultaneously.

Connection to the Dante network is provided by a single Ethernet RJ45 connector on the back of the unit. The unD3IO

is PoE-enabled which allows it to be powered over its network cable from a suitable PoE source (IEEE 802.3af-compliant)

and eliminating the need for a local power supply. This is particularly useful as the unD3IO can then be mounted in

remote locations where access to a mains outlet would be limited or indeed, non existent.

Audinate’s Dante Controller or other 3rd party manufacturer's Dante routing software can be used to control the audio

routing configuration of the device while the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application can be used to configure the

device-specific features.

The unD3IO also supports control by third party systems allowing external configuration of its settings such as

phantom power and input gain in real time. Further information on 3rd party control can be found later in this

document in section 4.

1.1–What’s in the Box

2.1 –Mounting

A typical installation will involve mounting the wall plate into the wall using an “old-work” type bracket or a pre-

mounted wall box. Before starting, make sure the wall box where the unD3IO is to be installed is pre-wired with a

suitable cable back to a PoE enabled network switch or mid-span injector. If a mid-span injector is being used, the

cable should be connected to the port that supplies both Ethernet and power (refer to the manual for the midspan

injector if unsure which port is which).

*Note: All Attero Tech products are tested using UTP cabling and it is recommended that UTP cabling be used when

installing them. STP cabling can be used for installation though care must be taken not introduce grounding issues into

the system by doing so.

Attach the network cable from the switch/mid-span injector to the Dante I/F port of the Dante unD3IO. If the switch or

mid-span injector is already running and PoE is enabled, the unit should power up and the green ID LED on the front of

the device should turn on.

With the cable attached, carefully place the unD3IO into the wall box taking care to not trap the cabling. Once fully in

place, secure with the screws provided. Once the unit is secured in the wall box, fit the Decora plate and secure it with

the screws provided with it.

2.2 –Hardware Connections

The unD3IO accepts and drives either unbalanced or balanced audio devices. Refer to the following diagrams and

instructions for connecting different types of audio devices. Professional grade audio cabling is recommended to

achieve the best audio performance throughout the system.

2.2.1–Balanced Source to Balanced Sink

To connect balanced sources to the unD3IO XLR input or connecting a balanced sink to the unD3IO XLR output, use a 2-

core cable with a shield and connect positive output to positive input, and negative output to negative input using the

cable cores, and connect output ground to input ground using the cables shield.

2.2.2 –Unbalanced Source to Balanced Sink

Use the following if using a single core cable with shield to connect a 2-wire unbalanced source to XLR input on the

unD3IO, or to connect an RCA or stereo jack unbalanced output signal from the unD3IO to a balanced input on another

device. Connect the positive output of the unbalanced source to the positive input of the balanced sink. Connect both

the source and sink input grounds together and short the negative input of the sink to ground at the input of the sink.

3 –Device Configuration

There are two parts of the device that require software to setup. First the audio routing, and second the configurable

features of the device itself.

The audio routing should be carried out using any application that supports Dante audio routing. This could be from a

3rd party manufacturer or be Audinate’s own Dante Controller. Dante Controller can be obtained from the Audinate

website (www.Audinate.com). Instructions on how to use this software and about setting up routes on a Dante network

can also be found on Audinate’s website.

*Note: When using Dante controller, the unD3IO will be shown using a default device name of unD3IO-###### where

‘######’ is the last six characters of the devices MAC address.

Configuration of the unD3IO specific features is carried out using the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application. This

application is available from the Attero Tech website (www.atterotech.com). It is used to initially configure the device

and can examine and modify the device specific features such as mic/line gain settings, phantom power, and output

boost options. The unD3IO features are supported in unIFY Control Panel V1.3 or later.

The unD3IO also supports 3rd party control systems by configuration with direct UDP messages. Further information on

using this facility can be found in the unIFY 3rd Party Control –Software API document available from the Attero Tech

website.

3.1 –IP Address Setup

******************************************************* IMPORTANT ****************************************************

Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an unD3IO device to correctly authenticate in the unIFY Control

Panel software and while it will show up in Dante Controller, the input and output channels won’t be visible and routing

of audio to and from the unD3IO will not be possible.

****************************************************************************************************************************

In order to configure an unD3IO both to set up its internal parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC will need to

be able to communicate with it over the network. While all Dante devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address

setup on the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.

By default, unD3IO is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante devices, if the unD3IO device does not find a

DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an automatic private IP address (APIPA) instead. An APIPA

is always in the range 169.254.x.y.

To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the

range 169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to take affect.

Further information on IP setup for an audio system using Dante can be found in the FAQ’s on the Audinate website

(https://www.audinate.com/resources/faqs).

3.2 –Software Installation

After downloading the application, run the .exe and the first screen to appear will be the license agreement and options

screen.
