Yes, with an optional CobraNet or Dante card installed. The base model includes AES/EBU digital I/O.
What is the maximum input level?
The maximum input level is +24 dBu for analog inputs (balanced). For digital inputs, it depends on the format (AES/EBU: 0 dBFS = +24 dBu).
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware from BSS Audio's support site and use HiQnet Audio Architect to upload it via Ethernet. Ensure the device is connected and powered on.
The device does not power on. What should I check?
First, verify the power cord is securely connected and the outlet is live. Check the power switch on the rear panel. If it still fails, the internal fuse may be blown; replace with the same type and rating.
Can I connect a microphone directly?
Yes, the analog inputs support microphone-level signals with software-adjustable gain up to 60 dB. Use balanced XLR cables.
What is the latency of the Soundweb 9000?
The latency is typically less than 2 milliseconds from analog input to analog output at 48 kHz sample rate, including A/D and D/A conversion.
How many presets can I store?
The device can store up to 256 presets in the internal memory. Presets can be recalled via software, front panel, or external control.
Is the Soundweb 9000 rackmountable?
Yes, it is designed for 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 1U of rack space. Rack ears are included.

personnel. For continued compliance with international EMC regulations, it is important that all cables be screened, and connected as follows: Control cable screens to the ground screws adjacent to the connector. Network cables should be of type CAT.5. WARNING: This equipment must be earthed. It should not be necessary to remove any protective earth or signal cable shield connections to prevent ground loops. Any such disconnections are outside the recommended practice of BSS Audio, and will render the EMC or safety certificate void. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised/grounding plug. A polarised plug has 2 blades, one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has 2 blades, and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit an electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician.

Note: All dimensions in mm.

If the unit is likely to undergo extreme vibration through extensive road trucking and touring, the unit must be supported at the rear and/or sides to lessen the stress on the front mounting flange. The necessary support can generally be bought ready-built as a rack tray, or the 9000 unit can be mounted between other units. Damage caused by insufficient support is not covered by the warranty. To prevent cosmetic damage to the front panel finish, use protective plastic cups under the rack mounting bolts.

Network monitoring Network monitoring

Each node has 3 LED indicators showing:

NetworkNetwork

MasterMaster

Flashing - The network is initialising. If it does not cease to flash, there is a cabling fault - either a double ring error or a problem with one of the cable connectors.

Steady - This node has become the hub master for this unit. It is either directly connected to the network master, or connected to a ring which contains the network master.

Off - This node is clienting to the master's clock.

Sync

Steady - This indicates the presence of a valid network connection on this node.

Flashing - There is a problem with the incoming network signal - possibly the maximum cable length has been exceeded.

Activity

Flashing - This LED indicates data transfer. The flashing is not regular, but dependant on the rate of transfer.

The node 1 light also indicates RS232 serial messaging in the same manner.

DSP ClipDSP Clip

Illuminated - Indicates that the signal is clipping internally.

PowerPower

Steady - This indicates that the power supply is functioning.

Each network socket on the SW9000 can be thought of as a terminal device node. The unit allows each branch of the network connected to each socket to act as a 'ring'. Note that several cables may be used to interconnect two or more SW9000 devices, and so increase the number of audio channels that may be passed between them. The connecting cable is CAT. 5 network cable, terminated with RJ45 connectors, with all 8 cores wired straight through.

Note that the twisted pairs in any CAT.5 network cable must be wired to the following pin pairs at each terminal (see page 8 for diagram):

1 (White-Orange) with 2 (Orange) 3 (White-Green) with 6 (Green) 4

(Blue) with 5 (White-Blue) 7 (White-Brown) with 8 (Brown)

Note: There must be at least 1 (one) 9088 unit in the network, with only one node connected. For example, if you wish to have two 9000 units and one 9088 unit in the same network, the 9088 must be a terminal device.

Control Inputs

Used to connect switches or potentiometers to the 9000. These eight inputs are internally 'pulled up' to +5V DC via a 4.7kOhm resistor, so no external voltage source is needed. Four common (ground) connections are provided (all connected together internally). A 47kOhm log potentiometer connected between one input and common will allow parameters to be controlled linearly. Alternatively, a switch may be connected between an input and common, or a multiway switch may be connected to several inputs with the wiper connected to common.

Logic Outputs

Used to connect the 9000 to 'tally' indicator LEDs or relays. There are eight standard logic outputs which produce 0V or +5V DC via an internal 440 Ohm resistor. Two common (ground) connections are provided (connected together internally). A LED connected between one output (Anode, A) and common (Cathode, K) will illuminate when the logic output is activated, without requiring any external current limiting resistor. A high sensitivity relay (such as a reed relay) may be driven by connecting four outputs in parallel. This arrangement will develop 4V across a 500 Ohm coil, providing that all four outputs are made logic 1 simultaneously.

Opto output

In addition to the eight standard logic outputs, there is an isolated output, which fails safe (open circuit) if the 9000 becomes faulty. This is effectively the collector-emitter of a transistor (which may be thought of as a switch) in series with a 220 Ohm protection resistor. In conjunction with an external DC power source (max 80V), this may be used to drive various loads such as relays.
