How do SSOUNDS amplifiers connect on a network?
Quick answer
SSOUNDS amplifiers connect via standard Ethernet using Dante/AES67 audio networking and redundant control networks, managed through SSOUNDS System Engineer software for remote monitoring and configuration.
SSOUNDS amplifiers feature dual Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting Dante/AES67 digital audio transport and dedicated control protocols. This allows seamless integration into existing network infrastructures, with primary and redundant paths for fail-safe operation in critical live sound environments.
Network configuration is handled via SSOUNDS System Engineer software, which auto-discovers connected amplifiers, assigns IP addresses (DHCP or static), and enables real-time monitoring of load, temperature, and signal levels. The system supports daisy-chain or star topologies, with up to 250 amplifiers per subnet.
For large-scale deployments, SSOUNDS amplifiers can be grouped into zones, with delay, EQ, and level adjustments applied remotely. AES67 compliance ensures interoperability with other professional audio gear, while the control network remains isolated from audio traffic to prevent congestion.
Key things to consider
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for redundant Dante/AES67 audio and control.
