UNiKA NBB-04R / NBB-04T
User Guide
Overview
The NBB-04R receives 4 channels of analog audio and converts them into Dante
networked audio stream which in turn can be received by other Dante-enabled
devices such as digital audio console or DAW; While the NBB-04T, in contrast,
transmits 4 channels of analog audio converted from Dante networked audio
stream which is distributed from other Dante-enabled devices.
Both NBB-04R and NBB-04T are equipped with two RJ-45 Ethernet ports so that
several NBB-04R/NBB-04T can be cascaded, i.e. in daisy-chaining, in the same
network link. Also both NBB-04R and NBB-04T can be powered by either PoE
from Ethernet switch or 48V from external power adapter.

User Guide
Description
The NBB-04R and NBB-04T adopt Audinate Dante
networking technology for audio transceiving, and
are very network friendly with unlimited flexibility
in topology of deployment. They support up to Layer 3 of IEEE 802.3 network
standard, enabling you to organize your audio network with the on-the-shelf
Ethernet switches or to immediately transport streaming audio by taking advantage
of your existing installed network facility with no hassle. Even better, every NBB04R/NBB-04T comes with two Ethernet ports which allow you to physically
cascade several NBB-04Rs/NBB- 04Ts in the same network link. Accompanying
with Ethernet switches, this capability helps NBB-04R/NBB-04T gaining exibility
and expanding territory in device deployment in audio networking.
Audio routing among NBB-04Rs/NBB-04Ts and all the other Dante-enabled
devices are configured via computer with dedicated Dante Controller software
which is available free from Audinate website. With Dante Virtual Soundcard
software, you are even able to have your DAW software direct record/play
multitrack streaming audio from/to NBB-04R/NBB-04T.
The audio input/output interfaces of NBB-04R/NBB-04T are fully met the
requirement of professional audio industrial. Audio is encoded/decoded with
the latest and uncompressed 24-bit PCM encoder/decoder with sample rate in
44.1KHz, 48KHz, or 96KHz. The NBB-04T outputs are peculiarly buffered with
ampliers of high-rail-voltage which can drive the lines up to 24dBu.Besides the
high-level of drive capability, the output of NBB-04T can also be attenuated to
meet the narrower reception range of inputs of some semi-professional devices.
All inputs of NBB-04R accept signal of level from mic to line with individual gain
and phantom power control. The NBB-04T is also equipped with a clip indicator
for all the inputs to warn audio technician a signal overload on inputs.
The NBB-04R/NBB-04T is assembled in a sturdy metal chassis with four bumpers
on the edges. This we think is very important for you to damp the NBB-04R/NBB-
04T from accidental smash during eld installation.
