Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface
jacks. Dante input channel 2 is routed to
the right headphone output channel which
is associated with the ring connection on
the output jacks. The push-in/push-out
headphone level control adjusts the level of
both the left and right channels of the head-
phone outputs. In the fully counterclockwise
position the output level is essentially off.
Care must be taken when adjusting the
headphone output level control. The output
circuitry is capable of driving headphones,
headsets, or earbuds to damaging levels.
Hearing damage is a real possibility and
caution must be exercised.
Line Outputs
Dante input channel 1 is routed to line
output channel 1. Dante input channel 2 is
routed to line output channel 2. The associ-
ated push-in/push-out rotary control adjusts
the level of both line output channels. In its
fully counterclockwise position the output
level of the two channels are essentially
off. In its fully clockwise position the output
levels will be approximately +4 dBu with
a Dante input signal that has a level of
–20 dBFS.
Technical Notes
Ultimo Firmware Update
The Model 5202 implements Dante connec-
tivity using the Ultimo integrated circuit from
Audinate. This 2-input/2-output device can
be updated by way of the Model 5202’s
Ethernet connection. As of the date of writ-
ing this guide it’s not evident as to whether
or not newer firmware will ever need to be
loaded.
Identifying the Firmware
Version Number
As previously discussed in this guide,
upon power up the meter LEDs are used
to briefly display the version number of
the Model 5202’s firmware (embedded
software). This information is typically only
necessary when working with the factory on
support issues. The meter LEDs will first go
through a display sequence followed by an
approximately 1-second period where the
version number will be indicated. The top
row of seven LEDs will display the major
version number with a range of 1 to 7. The
bottom row of seven LEDs will display the
minor version number with a range of 1
to 7. Refer to Figure 2 for details.
Figure 2. Detail of front panel showing the LEDs that display the firmware version.
In this example, the version shown is 1.1.
