Connecting the receiver

The receiver can output analog and digital audio signals.

The analog audio signal is output via the 3-pin Analog Out terminal.

Digital audio signals are output via the Dante interface with two RJ-45 sockets. This interface is also used for control and configuration via the network and for Power over Ethernet supply.

The following variants are possible:



To configure the variants you need the Audinate Dante Controller software: audinate.com.

Connecting to the network (power supply and configuration)

The PoE/Ctrl RJ-45 socket (Dante I) is used to both power the receiver via Power over Ethernet and configure it using the Sennheiser Control Cockpit software (see Controlling and monitoring the receiver via the network).

  • In your network you can either use a switch that provides PoE or a PoE injector.


Outputting digital audio signals

The Dante® interface with two RJ-45 sockets, Dante I and Dante II, is used for outputting digital audio signals. The interface supports redundant output and daisy-chaining (see above for details).

The digital audio output provides the signals from the individual channels (4 for the SL MCR 4 DW and 2 for the SL MCR 2 DW) as well as the sum signal of the channels.

You can configure in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit whether the sum signal is mixed automatically or manually (see Controlling and monitoring the receiver via the network).



Outputting analog audio signals

The sum signal of all receiver channels is output from the Analog Out output.

You can configure in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit whether the sum signal is mixed automatically or manually (see Controlling and monitoring the receiver via the network).
