OVERVIEW
The Glensound DARK1616M is an analogue to digital and digital to analogue
converter designed to connect AES3 and mic/ line level analogue audio circuits to a
Dante audio network.
Dante network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear audio
over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment
manufacturers. The Glensound Dark1616M Dante audio interface will be compatible
with any other manufacturers Dante audio interface. Further details of Dante network
audio can be found at www.audinate.com
Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the Glensound Dark1616M has
been designed with multiple redundancy capabilities. It has 2 mains power sources
and it also has fully redundant network connections for both Copper & Fibre circuits.
The Dark1616M provides 8 balanced AES3 inputs and 8 balanced AES3 outputs to
the Dante network and 16 analogue mic/ line level inputs to the Dante network and
16 analogue line level (0dB) outputs from the Dante network on rear panel D25
connectors wired to AES59 (also known as the Tascam standard).
The analogue and AES3 outputs are both always used and the same audio signal
from the Dante newtork that is presented on one channels AES3 output will appear
as an analogue audio signal on the equivalent analogue output.
For each channel only 1 audio input signal can be sent to the Dante network, the
AES3 input has priority over the analogue. Therefore if there is both an analogue
and AES3 input signal for one channel only the AES3 will be sent to the Dante
network.
A Windows10 application (that can be downloaded from the download tab of the
DARK1616M product information page on our web site) allows remote control of the
gain settings of the microphone amplifiers and also provides level indication of each
channel.

1. PSU and Link status
There are 4 red LEDs and 4 green LEDs that illuminate depending on the
status of the link. Red indicates no connection, green indicates a successful
connection.
For example, if you have connected the DARK1616S to two separate PSUs,
only one of which works then you will have a red ‘Fault’ LED illuminate to
warn you that there is no power detected on the connection that is not
receiving mains power.
2. Alarm status connection
This 8-way female D-type connector will report the failure of a link status if
one is detected whilst in operation.
3. USB connector and update buttons
The MINI USB connection allows the firmware of the DARK1616S to be
updated. To prepare the DARK1616S for a firmware update; power on the
unit, press and hold down the reset button, press and hold down the identify
button, release the reset button and then release the identify button a second
after.

4. Network SFP Connections
There are 2 standard network data SFP sockets provided to allow redundant
network connectivity if using Dante network audio protocol. They are both
gigabit network connections. They accept standard SFP modules. The status
LEDs flash to show when data is being correctly communicated with the
attached switch.
If you require SFP modules then please email [email protected] for a
quotation.
Network Note
Factory default is to have the SFP & RJ45 sockets set to work in redundant
mode.
It is possible using Dante controller to set these network interfaces to work as
a network switch instead of the redundant mode, meaning other network
equipment can be connected to them.
5. Network RJ45 connections
There are 2 standard network data RJ45 sockets provided to allow redundant
network connectivity if using Dante network audio protocol. They are both
gigabit network connections. The status LEDs flash to show when data is
being correctly communicated with the attached switch.

1. Analogue inputs 1 - 8
A 25-way female D-type connector allows a breakout cable to be attached to
send analogue line level (0dB) signals in to the DARK1616S on channels 1 -
8. This connector is wired to AES59 standard (also known as the Tascam
standard).
The signals can then be routed via Dante to anywhere on a network or back
out of the DARK1616S via it’s analogue or AES3 digital outputs.
2. AES3 inputs/outputs 1 - 4
A 25-way female D-type connector allows a breakout cable to be attached to
send and receive 1 – 4 balanced digital AES3 signals. This audio can be
routed to anywhere on a network via Dante.
AES3 digital inputs signals always take priority over analogue inputs.
Therefore, sending an input to channel 1 in both digital and analogue domains
will result in the digital signal being accepted and the analogue signal being
disregarded.
Despite this, the DARK1616S will always ouput audio simultaneously to both
digital and analogue connections.

CONNECTING THE DARK1616M TO A DANTE NETWORK
The Dark1616M is a network audio device utilising the reliable and versatile Dante
audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the
originators of which are Audinate.
The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power
of Dante network audio and instructions for using it can be found at
www.audinate.com
Getting Dante Controller
If you are connecting the inferno to a new Dante network the first thing you will need
to do is to get the free Dante controller software from Audinate.
This can be downloaded by visiting Audinate’s web site at www.audinate.com
Connecting Dark1616Ms To The Network
Dark1616Ms can be connected to the network that you are going to use for your
audio distribution simply by plugging in either, and, or any of the network
connections on the front. Once connected to the network it will be possible to see the
Dark1616M from within the Dante controller and route its’ audio circuits.
Audio Over IP Network
We strongly recommend that you consider your network topology carefully and
would not recommend sharing broadcast audio and general data on the same
network.
For more details of audio over IP network structure please visit www.audinate.com

Running Dante Controller
At the time of writing this manual the Dante Controller looks as per the screenshot
below:
The DARK1616M will have been named at the factory during test to allow them to be
identified by the Dante controller.
The format used for the factory name is:
‘Dark1616M-no-103-BKLYN-II-ob7a2c’
Where ‘Dark1616M-no-103’ refers to the Glensound product i.e. Dark1616M and its
serial no (in this case 103) and ‘BKLYN-II-ob7a2c’ refers to the units Dante Brooklyn
II module and its MAC address.
Dante Controller TIP
If you have never run Dante controller before then make sure that on the bottom left
of the Dante controllers’ screen ‘P’ or ‘S’ is next to a green square as this indicates
that it is connected to a network. By clicking ‘P’ or ‘S’ a pop up box opens to allow
you to set what network interface the controller is using.

UPDATING THE BROOKLYN MODULE
The Brooklyn module is a device supplied by Audinate that does most of the
processing for the actual Dante/ AES67 network audio streams. There is one
Brooklyn module in each Dark1616M. We supply special code (a .dnt file) that sets
up/ initiates the Brooklyn module and makes it work in particular way and we also
run extra code on its internal microprocessor to make it work correctly with the
Dark1616M.
1. Finding Out Current Installed Version
Open Dante Controller.
Open Device Info tab.
Double Click in the device that you are working with….a new window will open called
‘Device View (name of device’
Open the status tab.
The Firmware Version (of the Brooklyn module) will be found under the ‘Device
Information’ heading.
2. Finding Out What The Latest Available Version Is
Go the Dark1616M’s web page at http://www.glensound.co.uk/product-details/dark1616m/ and open the ‘Firmware Latest Version’ Tab.
This will give both the latest version numbers/ file names and also the location to
download the file from.
3. Updating the Brooklyn Module
The firmware that runs on the Brooklyn module is updated using Audinate’s
Firmware updating tool. The updating tool and a user guide can be downloaded from
Audinate’s website:
https://www.audinate.com/products/firmware-update-manager
Please note we strongly advise that when you do the update that only your PC and
the Dark1616M that you want to update are on the network to save accidently
updating the wrong Dante device.
Page 27 of 32
Page 28
AES67 MODE
The Dark1616M uses a module from Audinate called a Brooklyn Module for its
network audio interface. Audinate are the company behind Dante
module’s primary network audio protocol is Dante, however Audinate have enabled
their module to comply with AES67 and therefore the Dark1616S can be set to
AES67 mode for interaction with other AES67 devices.
Please note however that Glensound are relying on Audinate’s AES67 interface and
are unfortunately not able to provide full AES67 support for the unit. AES67 support
should be sought directly from Audinate.
1. Turning On AES67 Mode
If you want to use your Dark1616M on an AES67 network and it has not been set to
AES67 mode then this can be set in Dante controller by double clicking the
Dark1616M to open the Device View window where you will find an AES67 tab to
enable AES67 support.
®
and as such the
Once the AES67 drop down box has been enabled you’ll have to reboot the
Paradiso for the change to take effect. After the reboot go back to the AES67 tab
and set the multicast prefix address to one that is suitable for your newtork.
Page 28 of 32
Page 29
2. Sending AES67 Audio
To transmit AES67 audio to the network a multicast flow must first be setup.
This is done by selecting the ‘Create New Multicast Flow’ Icon in the Device
View.
Tick the AES67 Flow check box, then select up to 8 channels to be included in the
flow then click ‘Create’
Once set the flows can be seen in the transmit tab of the device view.
