1 Introduction
1.1 General Considerations
Thank you for choosing an Enchorus ENC 1202 audio interface.
The devices of the Enchorus series allow you to create a professional and exibly scalable
Dante™ network for live applications, recording studios and installations.
These Dante™ format converters meet the most demanding audio requirements. They
can be positioned close to the sources and destinations and do away with the need for
separate DI boxes. They come in handy for frequent and time-critical setup applications
and are highly intuitive to congure.
1.1.1 ENC 1202 Features
The ENC 1202 provides the following features:
• 8x balanced XLR line outputs
• 4x line inputs (1x RJ45)
• Inputs and outputs electronically balanced
• Conguration via a built-in web interface
• 8x Dante™ inputs and outputs
• 2x Dante™ LAN ports (switched or redundant mode)
• Redundant power supply
• 8x built-in 16-in-2 mixers
• Built-in audio matrix
• Equalizers on all physical inputs and outputs:
Low-cut (12, 18, 24, 36dB/octave) with adjustable frequency
3 parametric EQ bands (low-pass, high/low shelf, peaking)
• Delay setting on all XLR outputs
• Chassis: half-rack 19”/1U with rubber bumpers, stackable (depth: 225mm)
• Sample rates: 44.1/48/88.2/96/176,4/192kHz
• Word length: 16, 24, 32 bits (transparent)
• Rock-solid synchronization across several switches
• Supports 100Mbps and 1Gbps, requires no proprietary network infrastructure
• Easy and exible handling (plug & play)

2 Safety Precautions
2.1 GeneralWarnings
Be sure to only use this unit in places that meet the environmental conditions. See
“Ambient Conditions” on page 50.
Never allow children to operate this device unsupervised. Children are not aware of
the dangers inherent to operating electrical appliances.
Never drop this device. Protect it from strong impact.
NEVER stand on the device.
2.2 Electric Hazards
CAUTION
Electricshockduetolivewiresandparts.
Only use the supplied power cord. A second power cord is
available as an option from ASL.
Hazardous voltage may occur within this unit.
NEVER open/remove the unit’s enclosure.
Do not allow any objects to penetrate the unit through the air
vents.
Immediately turn the power o and remove the power cord
if the device produces smoke or an unusual smell. Always
grasp only the plug on the power cord when plugging into or
unplugging from an outlet or this unit.
ONLY use this unit in a dry environment (swiftly wipe away
any liquid that spills on the unit). Never allow liquids to get
inside the unit.
Never put liquid or drink containers on this device.
Always connect the power cord to a suitable mains outlet that
is properly insulated.
Do not excessively twist or bend cords and cables. Doing so
can damage the cables or cords, producing severed elements
and possibly short circuits.
Never operate this unit if the device itself or the cables and
cords have been damaged, or after dropping the device.

2.3 NotesRegardingtheDevice’sLocation
WARNING
Materialdamageduetoimproperhandling.
Do not expose the unit to temperature extremes.
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near devices that radiate
heat.
Be sure to leave enough space on the sides to allow the air to
circulate freely.
Never cover the device or its air vents.
Heat build-up inside the unit needs to be avoided at all cost!
The heat may damage the device and cause a re.
Never place this unit in the vicinity of ammable material
(ammable liquids, etc.).
Never place this unit on the oor without its rubber bumpers.
Whenever possible, place the unit on a heat-resistant surface.
Wooden or laminated surfaces may be damaged by the heat
radiating from the unit.
Always place this device on a level surface.

3.2 Connecting and Setting Up
3.2.1 General Considerations
The ENC 1202 can be used as a desktop device, or installed in a 19” rack using one of the
optional rackmount kits (see p.44).
3.2.2 Connections
Proceed as follows to connect the ENC 1202:
1. Place the ENC 1202 in the desired location.
For practical reasons, we advise placing it close to the relevant signal sources or desti-
nations.
2. Use the supplied power cord to connect the ENC 1202’s POWER1 socket to a wall
outlet.
For critical projects where downtimes are not an option, we recommend adding a
second (optional) power cord. Connect it to the ENC 1202’s POWER2 socket and to a
separate power circuit. Doing so allows the second power supply to take over if the
POWER1 socket stops working.
3. Use a CAT-5 or higher cable to connect the ENC 1202’s PRIMARY Dante port to the IP
network or directly to your computer.
You have the option of creating a second, redundant, Dante network for the available
devices:
• Connect the ENC 1202’s PRIMARY port to a router/switch of the rst audio network.
• Connect the ENC 1202’s SECONDARY port to a router/switch of the second audio net-
work.
Be sure to connect the PRIMARY and SECONDARY Dante ports to two separate net-
works that are completely isolated from each other. Only then will Dante be able to
automatically switch to the SECONDARY port if an error occurs on the rst (primary)
network.
Caution:
• Dante redundancy requires that both the PRIMARY and SECONDARY interfaces are connected
using the samelinkspeed. For example, if the PRIMARY interface is connected to a 1Gbps
switch port, the SECONDARY interface must also be connected to a 1Gbps switch port.
Notes:
• NEVER change the routing settings of the secondary network. These are congured automati-
cally by Dante. Be sure to ONLY change the conguration of the primary network.
• Wherever possible, use a gigabit network topology with a minimum number of hops (e.g.
switches) among Dante devices.
• The SECONDARY port can also be used for daisy-chaining scenarios by setting “Dante Redun-
dancy after Reboot” (p.24) to “Switched”.
4. Connect the required devices to the ENC 1202’s inputs and outputs.
