OVERVIEW
The Glensound DARK1616S is an analogue to digital and digital to analogue
converter designed to connect AES3 and line level analogue audio circuits to a
Dante®/ AES67 audio network. The DARK1616S can also be synchronised with a
studio clock.
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 DARK1616S Dante® audio interface is compatible with all
Dante® audio interfaces across all manufacturers. Further details of Dante® network
audio can be found at www.audinate.com
Intended for live on-air broadcast applications, the DARK1616S 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 DARK1616S provides 8 balanced AES3 inputs and 8 balanced AES3 outputs to
the Dante® network and 16 analogue line level (0dB) inputs to the Dante® network
and 16 analogue line level (0dB) outputs from the Dante® network. The rear panel
D25 connectors are wired to AES59 (also known as the Tascam standard).
The DARK1616S analogue and AES3 outputs are paired. When the same audio
signal from the Dante® network is presented on one channel’s AES3 output, it 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, in
Auto mode the AES3 input has priority over the analogue, otherwise a source can be
selected using GlenControler.
GlenController is a Windows 10 application that allows parameters of the Dark1616S
to be confugured (such as input type and AES3 output clock source). It also allows
live metering of input and output channels.

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.

A detailed wiring table for the pins of all rear panel connections can be found at the end of the
manual.
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.

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 28 of 33
Page 29
AES67 MODE
The Dark1616S 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 Dark1616S 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
Dark1616S 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 29 of 33
Page 30
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.
