OVERVIEW
Divine is a new concept in powered network audio monitors. It is housed in a
hardwearing fully sealed diecast enclosure, is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE)
and boasts the very latest low noise high output class D power amplifier.
Internally a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) takes careful care of the audio signals,
including state of the art compression and limiting circuits, while a microprocessor
provides full setup and control via a small rear panel LCD. Control of setup and day to
day operation of the Divine will also be available on our Windows 10 application
GlenController including the ability to group multiple Divines together and control
their level simultaneously.
Divine can receive up to four Dante (AES67 compliant) audio over IP (AoIP) inputs.
These inputs can be selected by the user on a large clear front panel select switch. The
four audio inputs can also be easily mixed together and their individual levels adjusted.
A priority system is provided to allow one (or more) of the inputs to automatically duck
another. This can be very useful if you want to monitor one source but also listen to
another when audio is present, such as sending show relay to dressing rooms in a
theatre but having the stage managers call and building fire alarm take precedence
when they’re active.
The diecast enclosure has been carefully designed to provide full protection of all
control knobs, switches and ports to prevent damage. The housing also uniquely
features a standard PC screen Vesa mount, meaning that you can purchase any
standard Vesa mounting solution to hang/ mount your Divine on, saving you lots of
money. Standard microphone stand threads are also provided in the base for an
alternative support solution.
Different preset EQs and an LF cut can all be set in the user menu to allow the Divine to
be used for a variety of applications.
Divine is so much more than just
another powered loudspeaker.

QUICK START
1) Connect the Divine to a PoE enabled Ethernet switch or to a PoE midspan PoE
injector and onwards to a network switch.
2) Connect a Dante® enabled device to provide source audio to your network
(such as Dante® Virtual soundcard running on a PC)
3) Using Dante controller route audio from your Dante® audio source to one or
more of the input channels of the Divine
4) Use the front panel Select switch on the Divine to select which of the Dante®
audio inputs you want to monitor
5) Adjust the volume using the front panel Volume control.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. Select Switch
The select switch has two main functions.
A) Each single press of the switch will scroll to the next available input
channel(s), the currently selected channel(s) will be highlighted by the LEDs.
B) Pressing and holding the select switch will enable the currently selected input
channel to have its gain adjusted by +/-16dB by using the front panel volume
control. While the switch is being held down the inputs LED will turn orange to
indicate that you are in the gain trim mode.
NOTE: It is possible to disable the select switch within in the menu system. If
when you press the switch the input LEDs flash red, then this indicates that the
switch has been disabled and the user cannot scroll through the input channels.
1. Select Switch
2. Input LEDS
3. Volume Control
Page 13
Page 13 of 39
2. Input LEDs
The 4 input LEDs main role is to indicate which channel(s) is/ are currently being
routed to the loudspeaker. Whichever channels’ LED(s) is/ are on indicate which
network audio input(s) is/are being routed to the loudspeaker.
The LEDs can also be set in the menu system to act as a PPM (either individually,
or as a column). If in the mode then they will illuminate to indicate audio level,
and the currently selected channel(s) LED will not be shown, unless the Select
switch is pressed.
If all the LEDs flash red , then this provides an indication to the user that the
current control they are operating (select switch or volume control) has been
locked from within the menu system.
3. Volume Control
The volume control is used for adjusting the loudness/ volume of the
loudspeaker. Turning it clockwise increases the volume and anti-clockwise
reduces the volume.
It can also be used in conjunction with the select switch to adjust the gain of any
of the input channels. (see Day to Day Operation…Input Trim Control for further
details).
Using the menu system it is possible to set a minimum and/ or maximum output
level from the loudspeaker. This will mean that although the operator can turn
the volume control all the way up or down the actual output level may be being
limited by the menu setting.
NOTE: It is possible to completely disable the volume control in the settings
menu. If it has been disabled then when it is rotated all the input LEDs will flash
red to warn the user that the control is disabled.

REAR PANEL CONTROLS
1. VESA Mounts
VESA mount points to allow the Divine to be attached to and supported by a
standard pc style monitor arm are provided.
They conform to the 75 x 75mm (2.95 x 2.95”) standard and accept 4mm metric
threaded screws. The screw holes are blind tapped (i.e. are not open inside the
Divine’s casing). The maximum length of screw that can be inserted is 9mm.
It is very important that any arm or VESA mounting system that the
Divine is attached to is specified and capable of supporting the Divine’s weight
which is 1.725Kg/ 3lb12oz.
2. Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is physically a Neutrik EtherCON connector and can mate with
XLR shelled EtherCON cables but also standard network RJ45 patch cables.
Both network audio (Dante®/ AES67) and power in the form of PoE are
connected to the Divine using this connector, which should be connected to
your network audio Ethernet infrastructure.

3. Display
The display is used in conjunction with the menu buttons to set the Divine’s
parameters. The display will turn itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity and can
be awoken by pressing either of the menu buttons. See the menu section of this
handbook for more details.
4. Menu Buttons
These two push buttons are used to navigate through and select different menu
options.
The left-hand button is used to select different menus and the right-hand
button is used to view and select different parameters within a menu.
The menu is setup as a vertical tree, with the left-hand button being used to
select the next menu above or below the one currently visible.
TIP: There is an arrow in the left top corner of the display. This indicates which
direction the menu system will navigate in when the left-hand menu button is
next pressed. To change direction, then press and hold the left menu button
until the arrow indicates a change of direction.

DAY TO DAY OPERATION
(and hidden functions)
1. Selecting a Source
Pushing the select switch will scroll the input source to the next available input
(note available inputs can be set in the menu system).
If Sum (mixing) is enabled then the enabled sum options will be scrolled through
after the individual inputs.
The select switch can be disabled in the menu system, if it has been disabled then
if pressed it and all the front panel source LEDs will all flash red.
2. Front panel volume control
The volume control adjusts the output volume of the loudspeaker.
There are a few possible settings for the volume control that can be set in the
menu system.
1) The volume control can be disabled…. i.e. the volume that it was set at
when it was disabled will become fixed and turning the control up or down will
not affect the output volume.
If it has been set as disabled when it is rotated the 4 input source LEDs will flash
red to indicate a warning to the user that it is fixed.
2) It is also possible to set within the menu system a minimum (Min)
volume.
This means that when the volume control is turned fully anti-clockwise it will not
fully attenuate the volume and the source audio can never be completely turned
off.
3) It can be used in conjunction with the source select switch to adjust a
particular inputs level (see Input trim control).
Note if it has been used in this way then it must be turned to its previous volume
position before it will again start effecting the output volume of the loudspeaker.
Page 17
Page 17 of 39
3. Input trim control
This function allows an individual input to have its level adjusted.
When a single channel is selected, press and hold the select button to trim the
gain using the front panel volume pot (not available in channel sums).
The channel LED will show in orange, and the pot can then be used to set the
gain value +/-16dB.
Note: On exit (i.e. once the channel select button has been released) the volume
control reverts to the normal volume control but will only become active when
turned to the current volume level. For example, if the volume was 3 before
entering gain trim, and the volume control is moved to 10 in gain trim, on exit the
volume will remain at 3 until the pot is turned back to 3 again.
4. Source select LEDs
The source select LEDs are used to show various states of the system including
metering.
1) When yellow they indicate which of the sources is currently being routed
to the loudspeaker.
2) If all flash red, then this indicates that the current control that is being
operated has been disabled in the menu (select switch or volume pot)
3) If one LED indicates red, while another becomes dimmer, this indicates
that the priority mode is currently active. The dimmed yellow LED indicates the
currently selected audio channel and the brighter red LED indicates the priority
channel that is currently receiving audio and is active and will be ducking the
audio of the selected channel.
5. LED PPM mode
It is possible to enable two different Peak Programme Meter (PPM) modes in the
menu.
‘Bar’ mode makes the 4 source LEDs work as a traditional meter, showing the
output level of the currently selected source.
‘Colour’ mode makes the selected LED change colour to indicate its own source
level. Whereby Blue = on with no audio, through green, yellow, then red to
indicate high level.
6. Dark mode
It is possible in the menu system to set the front panel LEDs to ‘dark’ mode. This
greatly reduces their output brightness. All functionality remains the same, the
LEDs are just much dimmer for situations when bright LEDs are not desirable.
7. Rear Panel LCD
The rear panel LCD can be used to setup the various parameters of the Divine.
Page 18
Page 18 of 39
The rear panel display is normally off and will only turn itself on and show the
menu system when either of the rear panel blue buttons are pressed.
The two blue buttons are used to navigate through the menu system. Whereby
the left button selects the next available menu function and the right button
selects the options within a menu.
Pressing and holding the left blue button for two seconds changes the direction
that the menu system is being scrolled through. An arrow next to the Menu
Function Name indicates the current direction of scrolling through the menus.
The menu times out after 10 seconds and all current selections will be
remembered and stored in non-volatile RAM.

Page 21
Page 21 of 39
Menu Function Name:
Gain Boost
Options within menu:
0dB, 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB
Description:
The internals of the Divine have been carefully designed such that even when audio
input signals are getting close to full scale there won’t be distortion within the internal
electronics. Although this a perfect design in the real World most programme audio
signals are well below digital full scale and as such this design limits the overall volume
available from the loudspeaker. As such we have included Gain Boost, to increase the
incoming signals by a set amount, to allow the full audio output of the Divine to be
achieved. Compressor/ limiter circuits are built in so even when gain boost is on and
input levels are high the audio output will be as good as possible.
Gain Boost Default = +6dB
Menu Function Name:
Meter Mode
Options within menu:
Off, Bar, Colours
Description:
This mode enables the front panel source select LEDs to act as simple audio level
meters. There are two different styles of meters available.
Bar: operates like a normal vertical level meter, with increases in level increasing the
number of LEDs on.
Colour: provides individual meters on each of the single source LEDs, indicating their
own source input level. The LED will change colour depending upon the level, starting
at blue (off), going through green, amber and then red all at different intensities to
indicate the incoming signal level.
Meter Mode Default = Off

POWERING THE DIVINE
Divines are Ethernet network devices that require a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power
source to supply them with power to allow them to turn on and operate.
PoE is a standard technique for powering equipment from an Ethernet network and the
Divine conforms to IEEE 802.3af-2003.
The Divine requires a PoE voltage at the source (i.e. network switch) of a minimum of 44
and a maximum of 57 Volts DC.
The PoE source must also be able to provide at least 15.4 Watts on the output that the
Divine is connected to.
The Divine can be powered either from a network switch that provides PoE or from a
Midspan (Mid-span) PoE power source. If your network switch does not supply PoE
then a Midspan power supply can be connected between your switch and the Divine to
provide it with power.
NOTE: The Divine has no on/ off switch, if it is connected to a suitable PoE enabled
network switch or Midspan power source then it will automatically turn on. It does
have a power saving mode that can be setup in the menu.

CONNECTING THE DIVINE TO A DANTE® NETWORK
The Divines are network audio devices utilizing 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 Divine 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 Divine device to the network
The Divine can be connected to the network that you are going to use for your audio
distribution simply by plugging in to the RJ45 network connection on the rear. Once
connected to the network it will be possible to see the Divine from within the Dante®
controller and route its’ audio circuits.
Note: Please remember the Divine is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) so the
RJ45 network cable must be connected to a network switch capable of providing PoE
or a mid-span power supply (PoE Injector) must be used.
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 Divine 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:
‘DIV-01-sn-XXXXX’
Where ‘DIV-01’ refers to the Glensound product i.e. Divine type 1.
The ‘–sn-XXXXX’ refers to the serial number of the Divine which can be found printed
on the rear label of the unit.
The unit may be renamed in Dante® controller by opening the ‘Device view’ window
and selecting DIV-01-sn-XXXXX in the drop-down menu. Go to the ‘Device Config’ tab
and change the name with the Rename Device box.
Note if you upload a new DNT file or clear the devices config then the name will change
to DIV-01-xxXxXx whereby the ‘X’s refer to the devices 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.

Device not showing up in Dante® Controller
If your Dante® device does not show up in Dante® Controller then the most likely issue is
that the device’s IP Address is not appropriate for your network.
A) It maybe that the device is set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP
(this is the default configuration) and your network is setup for fixed IP
addresses only and does not have a DHCP server.
B) It maybe that the device has had a fixed IP address assigned but that this
address is not suitable for your network.
The solution to both scenarios is basically the same.
1) You must connect your Dante® device directly to the Ethernet port of your
computer using an Ethernet cable.
2) Make sure that your computer is set to ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’
3) After a few minutes the Dante® device should now appear in Dante® Controller.
4) Double click the device name to open up device view.
5) Open up the ‘Network Config’ tab
6) Either turn on ‘Obtain an IP Address Automatically’ or correctly configure the
‘Manually configure an IP Address’ options for your network.
7) Click on ‘Apply’ to confirm the new settings, then disconnect the computer and
reconnect the Dante® device to your network.

AES67 MODE
The Divine uses a chipset from Audinate called ‘Ultimo’ for its network audio interface.
Audinate are the company behind Dante® and as such the primary network audio
protocol is Dante®, however Audinate have enabled their chip to comply with AES67
and therefore the Beatrice 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.
Turning On AES67 Mode
If you want to use your Divine 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 Divine to open
the Device View window where you will find an AES67 tab to enable AES67 support.
Once the AES67 drop down box has been enabled you’ll have to reboot the Divine 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 33

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 4 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.
Page 34
Page 34 of 39
Receiving AES67 Audio
Once a compatible AES67 stream is detected on the network by Dante® Controller the
AES67 flows will appear in the Dante® Transmitters section in the Routing tab.
AES67 Restrictions
AES67 flows can only be generated with the following constraints:
• Multicast Only
• Destination address in range 239.nnn.0.0 to 239.nnn.255.255 (239.nnn/16), port
5004
• 48kHz sampling rate
• 24 bit linear (L24) encoding
• 1 msec packet time
• Up to 4 channels per stream
Received AES67 flows have the following constraints:
• Multicast Only
• Destination address in range 239.nnn.0.0 to 239.nnn.255.255 (239.nnn/16), port
5004. Must match destinatio address range.
• 48kHz sampling rate
• L16 or L24 encoding
• 125usec, 250usec, 333usec, 1 msec packet time
• Up to 4 channels per stream

UPDATING FIRMWARE
General
Internally the Divine runs two sets of firmware (integrated circuit device specific
software).
A microprocessor deals with control of the buttons, pot, LEDs, volume control & menu
system and communicates user inputs to the internal DSP to allow changes to the
audio. This microprocessor runs its own firmware and the firmware file type is .DFU
Separate to the microprocessor is the Ultimo chipset which is chipset supplied by
Audinate (the company behind Dante®). The Ultimo chipset performs all the complex
distribution and receiving of audio packets from the Ethernet network and
communications with the Dante® controller and network switches. The Ultimo chipset
has its own firmware file type .DNT
UPDATING THE MICROPROCESSOR .DFU FIRMWARE
The microprocessor’s .DFU file is updated across the network using our GlenController
windows 10 application.
Please see ‘GlenController’ section of this handbook for installation instructions.
Finding out if the DFU needs updating:
There are two ways of finding out the current version of installed DFU and the latest
available version.
1) Using the rear LCD screen and menu buttons on the rear of the Divine navigate
down to ‘INFO’ and then select ‘DFU’ the currently installed DFU version will be
displayed.
Go to the Divine’s web page http://www.glensound.co.uk/product-details/divine-617/
and select the Firmware Latest Version tab, the latest version of the DFU & DNT files wil
be listed here.
2) Use GlenController and follow the updating instructions below, when you get to
step 6, GlenController will display information about the Divine (and any other
compatible device on your network).
The column called ‘DFU version’ shows the currently installed DFU firmware and the
column called ‘DFU latest’ shows the most up to date available version of firmware for
your device.
NOTE: To update the Divine, the PC that is running GlenController must be on the
same network as the Divine and must have internet access. This is because
GlenController automatically accesses our website and gets the latest .DFU firmware
file from it to load into the Divine.

UPDATING THE ULTIMO .DFU FIRMWARE
The Ultimo Chipset is a device supplied by Audinate that does most of the processing
for the actual Dante®/ AES67 network audio streams. There is one Ultimo Chipset in
each Divine. We supply special code (a .DNT file) that sets up/ initiates the Ultimo
Chipset and makes it work in particular way that is compatible to the Divine.
Finding Out Current Installed Version
Using Dante® controller double click on the Divine device name in the routing tab to
open the Device View box.
In the Device View box open the Status Tab.
The ‘Product Version:’ shows the currently installed version of Ultimo Chipset dnt code.
Alternatively using the rear LCD screen and menu buttons on the rear of the Divine
navigate down to ‘INFO’ and then select ‘DNT’ the currently installed DNT version will
be displayed.
Finding Out What The Latest Available Version Is
Go the Divine’s web page at Glensound.com 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.
Updating the device
The firmware that runs in the Ultimo Chipset 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
NOTE:
Please note we strongly advise that when you do the update that only your PC and the
Dante device that you want to update are on the network to save accidently updating
the wrong Dante device.
