only.
―If there is any sign of obvious damage to the power cord and/
or L21-30 mains connector, do not use the unit and replace it
before further use.

Do not connect any loudspeaker cabinets, neither passive nor active
systems, to the 4 CH OUTPUTS connectors, otherwise there is a risk
of damaging the loudspeaker components or the amplier.
Each of the 4 CH OUTPUTS connectors represents the 4 CHANNEL
OUTPUT of the respective D20 amplier. Each connector carries the
output signals of all four channels of the amplier with the following
pin assignment.
1+/— = Channel A pos. / neg. 2+/— = Channel B pos. / neg.
3+/— = Channel C pos. / neg. 4+/— = Channel D pos. / neg.

Ethernet network
ETH 1 Represents the upper etherCON connector of the rst
amplier and may be used as input while the other two
ampliers are linked within the rack.
ETH 2 Represents the bottom etherCON connector of the last
amplier and may be used as output.
Note
In a daisy chain topology, if one device or an entire rack fails or is
switched o󹻾, this also a󹻾ects all subsequent devices and/or system
racks which are then no longer connected to the network either.
A detailed description of remote control via Ethernet is given in the
technical information TI 310 (d&b code D5310.EN) which can be
downloaded from the d&b website at www.dbaudio.com
4.1. INPUT
The INPUT section represents the input connectors of the rst
amplier while the other two ampliers are linked within the rack. The
INPUT section allows both analog and digital audio signals to be fed
to the amplier.
4.2. INPUT LINK
The INPUT LINK section represents the link output connectors of the
last (third) amplier and allows the linking of further system racks
using the enclosed rack link cable (Z5333 Rack link).
4.3. REMOTE
The REMOTE section allows the daisy-chaining of system racks within
a remote network using the enclosed rack link cable (Z5333 Rack
link).

6. Z4010 DS10 Audio network bridge
6.1. Use with d&b Touring rack I/O panel
The DS10 replaces the 1RU drawer of the complete rack assembly.
1. The DS10 is mounted above the I/O panel.
If upgrading a complete rack assembly, simply remove the rack
drawer.
2. The two digital outputs at the front of the DS10 are connected to
the digital inputs D1/2 and D3/4 of the I/O panel.
3. The ETH 3 port of the DS10 is connected to the ETH 1 port of
the I/O panel in order to bridge the R1 control for the ampliers
over the Dante network.
Note: Connect only one of the Ethernet ports on the I/O
panel to the DS10. Otherwise an Ethernet ring is built, causing
a packet storm leading to the Network no longer being
accessible.
4. On the rear, the power cord [1] (powerCON/ L5-15) is
connected to the auxiliary NEMA 5-20 socket of the mains
distributor.
Note: When ordered with a touring rack assembly the DS10 audio
network bridge will include the necessary 25cm CAT6 and XLR
cables for connecting to the I/O panel.
