Chapter 1 Basics
Arista's ARS-0202 Duo+Series DanteTM Audio Adapters are end-of-network audio
devices, including the models of ARS-0202-A00/A11/B00/B11. Each Audio Adapter is a
DanteTM enabled box which can convert 2 channel analog audio input signal sources into
DanteTM digital audio signal to share your audio with other users and devices on the Dante
network,and simultancely convert 2 channel DanteTM digital audio signal into analog audio
output signal to route audio from network sources to your own computer or peripherals. The
ARS-0202 Duo
+
Series Dante
TM
Audio Adapters allow user to easily switch between analog
audio signal and Dante
TM
digital audio signal. Only with a single a󰀨ordable ethernet cable or
ber-optic network cable to extend and transmit high quality multi-channel audio to replace
multiple analog or multi-core cables. By just a few mouse clicks for conguration, user can
fully control the Dante
TM
Audio Adapter with Dante
TM
controller.
The DanteTM Audio Adapters(with metal bezel) can be used in harsh conditions. They come
with lockable chassis connectors for both the audio and network connections. With optional
mounting brackets, they can be mounted in oor boxes or in equipment racks.
The ARS-0202 Duo+ Series DanteTM Audio Adapters provide the best solution for audio
networking. They can be widely used for broadcasting station, conference room, data control
centers, information distribution, school lectures, corporate training and so on.

Basic Operation
• Make sure all the required cables are connected properly, and press the Power button at
the front of the
Dante
TM
audio adapter
to “ON” to turn the unit on. The power LED indicator
at the back of the unit will light blue.
• When the system is ready, the SYS LED indicator on the front panel of the unit will light
green, and when the audio system is working, the SYNC LED will light green.
Turning on the ARS-0202 Duo+ Series DanteTM Adapter
• Upon powering on, press the Power button again to turn o󰀨 the Dante
TM
audio adapter .
• If the unit is not going to be in use for an extended period of time, press the Power
button to turn o󰀨 the unit and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
To get the best microphone audio input signal, ARS-0202-A11/B11 allows user to adjust the
gain level for MIC-IN 1 and MIC-IN 2 audio channels. Turn the GAIN knob clockwise to
increase the gain level, turn the GAIN knob anti-clockwise to decrease the gain level.
Latency is a delay that digital audio devices and applications introduce into an audio stream
to allow for the processing of audio packets.
For ARS-0202-A11/B11, turn the DELAY knob clockwise to increase the latency time, turn
the DELAY knob anti-clockwise to decrease the latency time.

Extra Controls
Arista ARS-0202 Duo
+
Series DanteTM Audio Adapter can be monitored and controlled
by the DanteTM controller which allows users to congure and route audio around
Dante networks. DanteTM controller is a free software application that enable user
easily set up a DanteTM network. Within seconds of a Dante-enabled device
conecting to a network, Dante Controller will automatically discover and display
the device, allowing you to congure channels and route audio.
Follow the below steps to set up a DanteTM network for controlling.
1. Download and install the Dante Controller from Audinate website (www.
audinate.com).
2. Connect the computer to the router using a standard network cable.
3. Launch the “DanteTM Controller” software.
4. In the routing menu, click the “+ / -” symbols for the devices to congure the
audio routing.
Once set up and congured the audio routing between audio device, the audio
device will remember and save the settings, the computer and the “DanteTM
Controller” software can be disconnected from the network.
For more information about the operation on DanteTM controller, you can refer to
the instruction manual for DanteTM controller.
