Important Safety and Installation Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING –when using electrical products, basic precautions should be followed, including the following:
1. Before using this product, read all of the safety and installation instructions and the explanation of graphic symbols.
2. This product must be grounded otherwise it could malfunction or breakdown. Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. If using the AC adapter of this product, make sure to
use the power supply cable having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The mains cable should
be plugged into an appropriate outlet, which is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER –Improper connection of the equipment grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product –if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not use an adapter that defeats the function of the equipment-grounding conductor. If you are in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or electrician.
3. Do not use this product near water or in a damp environment, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like.
4. This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and speakers or headphones, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate at a high volume level or at a level
that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.
5. The product should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
6. The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators or other products that produce heat.
7. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the product.
8. The product’s power-supply cable should be unplugged from the outlet when it is to be left unused for a long period
of time. When unplugging the power supply cable, grasp it by the plug. Do not pull on the cable itself.
9. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall on to the product and liquids are not spilled onto any part of the
enclosure.
10. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: a. The power supply cable or plug has been
damaged. b. Objects have fallen onto the product, or liquid has spilled and may have leaked into the product. c. The
product has been exposed to rain. d. The product does not appear to be operating normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance. e. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
11. Do not attempt to service the product beyond that described in the user maintenance instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
12. WARNING - Do not place any objects on the power supply cable, or place the product in a position where anyone
could trip over, walk on, or roll anything over the cable. Do not allow the product to rest on or be installed over cables of
any type. Improper installations of this type create the possibility of a fire hazard and/or personal injury.

ABOUT RAVENNA
RAVENNA is a solution for real-time distribution of audio and other media content in IP-based network
environments. Utilizing standardized network protocols and technologies, RAVENNA can operate in
existing network infrastructures and is fully AES67 compliant. The RAVENNA protocol manages the data
transfer between the MERGING+ANUBIS and a computer or other hardware when the Ethernet interface is
used. This open and published IP network technology had been created to meet the demands of national
broadcasters and focused on the essential requirements of extremely accurate clocking, high resistance to
packet loss and very low latency i.e. getting the data to where it needs to be, intact and at the right time.
COMPATIBILITY
The RAVENNA protocol comes with standard drivers for all mainstream computer operating systems.
ASIO for Windows, Core Audio with DoP support for MacOS and ALSA for Linux. The MERGING+ANUBIS
RAVENNA drivers allows use of any application of your choice to record, edit, playback and monitor your
music. Use MERGING+ANUBIS with your preferred DAW, Player or for rehearsal and live performance.
Using RAVENNA IP audio, the MERGING+ANUBIS can connect to a standard network, using off the shelf
Gigabit switches and other IT technology to become a node on a LAN. From that point, any other
RAVENNA node can receive information from and deliver information to any combination of RAVENNA
devices on the network
MISSION CONTROL - MODULAR BY SOFTWARE
A single product with multiple workflows. A Monitor controller that also controls your network. A Music
recording hub that allows you to network a whole band or orchestra. A low latency mixer and processor
with extraordinary audio quality. Anubis is already planned to implement two missions with more to follow.
Each will put you in control of the tasks you want to accomplish. Today a control room or an on-location
monitor controller, tomorrow a music studio or live event interface, the day after, it could be something
else that allows you to succeed in your mission. Booting up between missions completely changes the
user interface and the function of Anubis. Plug-ins will be released to aid whatever workflow is required.
Your investment is protected, your missions are secured!
MERGING+ANUBIS allows the user to choose the Mission Controller that fits the task. Today Anubis offers
Anubis+Monitor, tomorrow Anubis+Music and more to follow!
Follow the Anubis+Monitor Mission Appendix for all details on your first mission
The Anubis+Music Mission oriented towards a music, recording, bands and studio projects is currently
under works and not yet available.
