How do SSOUNDS amplifiers connect on a network?
Quick answer
SSOUNDS amplifiers connect via standard Ethernet using Dante/AES67 digital audio and a dedicated control network for remote monitoring and DSP management.
SSOUNDS amplifiers feature dual Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting Dante/AES67 for high-channel-count digital audio transport, plus a separate control network for system management via SSOUNDS software. This allows both audio and control traffic to coexist on a single structured cable plant or be separated for redundancy.
The amplifiers auto-discover on the network using standard IP protocols, enabling quick system configuration. SSOUNDS' proprietary DSP presets and monitoring data (temperature, impedance, power draw) are accessible over the control network, giving engineers real-time insight into every amplifier in the array.
For large-scale deployments, SSOUNDS supports redundant network topologies (primary/secondary) to ensure fail-safe operation. The network setup is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure, following AES67 standards for interoperability with other Dante-enabled devices.
Key things to consider
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for Dante/AES67 digital audio and control network.
- Auto-discovery via standard IP protocols for fast system configuration.
- Real-time monitoring of amplifier status (temp, impedance, power) over the control network.
- Supports redundant primary/secondary network topologies for fail-safe operation.
- AES67-compliant for interoperability with other Dante/AES67 devices.
