Introduction
Overview
A16.D16, A32 and D64 are 2U Dante I/O devices featuring high-density combinations of
SuperAnalogue™, AES3 and GPIO connections. All analogue audio, AES audio and GPIO connectors
are 25-pin D-type. These units can all be controlled remotely from SSL System T and SSL’s Network
I/O Controller app for PC.
A16.D16 is a 32-input and 32-output Dante I/O device featuring 4 SuperAnalogue mic/line inputs,
12 SuperAnalogue line inputs, 8 AES3 inputs, 16 SuperAnalogue line outputs, 8 AES3 outputs and 4
GPIO connections.
A32 is a 32-input and 32-output Dante I/O device featuring 32 SuperAnalogue line inputs and 32
SuperAnalogue line outputs.
D64 is a 64-input and 64-output Dante I/O device featuring 32 AES3 inputs and 32 AES3 outputs.
These units are ideally suited for bulk analogue and AES I/O connections from control or machine
rooms, featuring a high-density combination of analogue and digital inputs and outputs, GPIO,
redundant power and network connections.
Key Features
●Interface between control/machine room analogue/AES connections and IP audio networks
using Dante and AES67
●Redundant PSUs and Dante network connections
●SSL SuperAnalogue technology
1
●Device and parameter ownership assignment to avoid control conflicts
●Front facing Dante network connections
●Rear facing audio and GPIO connections
●Silent operation - no cooling fans

Status LEDs and User Buttons
Status and Reset
These reset buttons have the same functionality as the front-facing RESET A and RESET B user
buttons.
Device Reset
Performing a device reset will clear the SSL device settings. This includes ownership, input and GPIO
states. This does not clear Dante Brooklyn card settings.
Brooklyn Reset
Resetting the Dante Brooklyn card to default settings is performed from Dante Controller. Under the
‘Device Config’ tab for a device select ‘Clear Config’. This clears the device name, channel labels, IP
address settings, sample rate, latency and existing audio routes. This does not clear SSL Ownership
settings.

User and Control Bit Pass-Through (A16.D16 and D64 only)
To enable the pass-through of AES user and control bits the device must be set to PCM 32
encoding within Dante Controller. Changing the encoding setting is detailed in the Dante Controller
section of this guide.
N.B. When set to 32-bit encoding the audio remains 24-bit. The additional 8 bits are used to
transport the user and control bits from the AES3 signals.

Hardware Connections
Mains Power Connections
The A16.D16, A32 and D64 include redundant PSUs with IEC C14 inlets. Either
supply can individually power the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate
power circuits to provide redundancy of incoming AC power.
Dante Connections
The A16.D16, A32 and D64 have two redundant sets of network connections. The Network B port
connectivity is currently not enabled, this requires an additional Dante card which is currently not
available.
Audio and GPIO Connections
All audio and GPIO connections are via 25-pin D-type connectors.
See Appendix B for pinout information.

SSL Network I/O Controller
Installing Network I/O Controller
When an A16.D16, A32 or D64 is used without an SSL console, configuration and control is achieved
using the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application. This can be downloaded from the SSL website
as part of the Network I/O Stagebox upgrade package or as a standalone installer.
Locate and run the Network I/O Controller installer and follow the on-screen prompts to install the
application.
Network Configuration - PC
Once Network I/O Controller is installed, connect the Windows PC to the same subnet as the
Network I/O. The SSL Network I/O Controller application uses the network adapters configured in
Dante Controller for communication. Before starting Network I/O Controller first open Dante
Controller and select the network adaptors connected to the Dante network. ‘Use shared Dante
interface’ must be selected to ensure all applications using the Dante network use the correct
adaptors. Subsequent changes to network settings may require Network I/O Controller to be
restarted.
TCP/IP is used to communicate with the unit, so check Windows firewall settings if communications
are not working.
Set the computer to ‘Never Sleep’ to maintain communication.
Network Configuration - Device
Unless shipped as part of a preconfigured system, Network I/O units are set to obtain an IP address
automatically.
If the IP settings need to be changed to a fixed address – to match the network environment in
which the unit is to be installed – this can be achieved using the Dante Controller application.
Remember that the computer’s network adapter configuration will also need to be updated to match
the Network I/O.
For additional information see the Dante Controller section.
