Connecting Interfaces (NSA-008A)

Audio Connection

  • Connect your analog and/or digital inputs/outputs to the Universal In/Out interfaces.

AES67 Network Connection

  • Connect the primary media network port (ETH 1 or 3 Primary) to your AES67 network.

  • For redundant operation, also connect the secondary media network port
    (ETH 2 or 4 Secondary) to your AES67 network.

Either the RJ45 connector or the SFP connector on the primary and secondary media network connection can be used.

Management Network Connection

  • The management network can be operated in isolation from the AES67 network (out-of-band control) by connecting it to the MGNT port and activating the MGNT port for the WebUI in the Device Settings.

Chassis Grounding

A screw on an audio device used for connection to a grounding bar serves as a dedicated chassis ground point. It allows you to attach a wire from the device’s metal chassis to a common grounding rail shared with other equipment. This helps equalize ground potential between devices and reduces hum and ground-loop noise.

Chassis Grounding
  • The screw M3 x 10mm must not be replaced with screws of a different length.
    Using a longer screw could reduce electrical safety.

  • Use a suitable green-yellow connection cable with a cross-section greater than 0.75 mm² (AWG 18) and an appropriate ring lug.

Power Supply

The NSA-008A is powered exclusively via mains (IEC).

The device's power supply has a redundant design and switches over without interruption as soon as one of the power sources is no longer available.

The mains status can be checked via the web interface.

Connecting Voltage
  • For redundancy, both mains connectors are connected to two separate fuse circuits.

  • To shut down the unit completely, remove both power cords.
