The new A2NET protocol combines the power of the RDNET control network with the transmission of up to 4 channels of digital audio over the same CAT-5 cable, simplifying speaker cabling. The Control24A integrates into the AURORA NET ecosystem, and each unit can manage up to 64 speakers with A2NET cards.
Connection to the control interface (Mac or Windows) is possible via USB C or TCP/IP network through the Etherconn connector.
On the rear panel, there are 4 XLR connectors that can be used as 4 analog audio inputs or 4 AES/EBU audio inputs. A second unit can be linked through the XLR outputs for AES/EBU digital audio.
Equipped with 2 CAT-5 outputs using the A2NET protocol. Control24A is also equipped with power redundancy.
The 1.54” e-paper display provides access to essential unit information such as IP address, the number of connected speakers, and unit status. Even without power, configuration information for the TCP/IP control network remains visible.
