specifications before connecting the

product to the power source.

This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced technician to install the AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT Audio Expansion
Interfaces with Dante. For additional information and specications, see the AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT product pages
at www.extron.com.

NOTE: In this setup guide, the terms “AXI” and “device” are used to refer to the AXI 22 AT and the AXI 44 AT interchangeably.

Disconnect Power and Mount the AXI

Disconnect power from the AXI and turn off all devices that will be connected to it. The AXI is housed in a quarter rack width,
6inch deep, 1U high metal enclosure that can be rack mounted or sit on a table with the provided rubber feet. Select a suitable
mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option. Mounting information can be found in the AXI 22 AT and
AXI 44 AT User Guide at www.extron.com.

Make all external device connections before applying power.

12 VDC Power Inlet — Connect the optional 12 VDC power supply to the rear panel captive screw connector and plug the

A

power cable into the IEC connector on the power supply (see figure 2 below and the attention notices on the next page). The
power LED on the front panel blinks as the unit is powering on and lights steadily when the unit is operational.

As an alternative to the optional external power supply, the AXI can be powered over Ethernet (PoE) using the AT (PoE) port.

• Always use a power supply provided by or specied by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all

regulatory compliance certication and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée

annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que l’unité.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The

power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location,
Pollution Degree2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une utilisation dans les espaces d’aération

ou dans les cavités murales. La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement de traitement
audiovisuel dans un endroit ordinaire, avec un degré2 de pollution, fixé à un équipement de rack à l’intérieur d’un
placard, d’une estrade, ou d’un bureau.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,

article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently xed to
building structure or similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique au National Electrical Code

ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas
être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

Mic/Line Inputs — Use 3-pole 3.5mm captive screw connectors to connect two balanced or unbalanced microphone or

B

mono line level sources (AXI 22 AT) or four balanced or unbalanced microphone or mono line level sources (AXI 44 AT) (see
3-pole Audio Input Wiring in figure 3 below). Phantom power is available on all mic/line inputs.

Balanced or unbalanced stereo sources can also be connected using 6-pole captive screw connectors (see 6-pole Audio
Input Wiring in figure 3 below).

ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio outputs, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to

the negative (-) contacts.

ATTENTION : Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons

aux contacts négatifs (–).

AT (PoE) Port — Insert an Ethernet cable to this RJ-45 port to connect the AXI to a Dante network. This port supports power

D

over Ethernet (PoE), communication with DSP Configurator for configuration, digital audio transport (AT), and communication
with the Dante network for configuration via Dante Controller.

Reset Button — The Reset button returns the AXI to different tiers of default states. When using the reset function, the LED

E

blinks to indicate the different reset modes. When not using the reset function, the LED operates as a power indicator and
matches the front panel power LED (see the Reset Modes topic in the AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT User Guide).
