2.1. Safety instructions
All products from Pan Acoustics are developed and manufactured in Germany according to the latest
safety regulations. Each product is thoroughly inspected prior to shipping according to in-house
quality guidelines.
The device conforms to the current CE regulations for operation in residential, business, commercial
and industrial areas.
The device is to be carefully inspected upon receipt for shipping damage and completeness. In case
of damage, the forwarder and sender are to be noti ed without delay.
Safety may be impaired if the product:
• shows signs of visible damage.
• no longer works properly.
• has been stored under adverse conditions for a prolonged period.
• has been improperly shipped (e.g. unsuitable packaging).
If the product shows signs of impairments that no longer guarantee safe operation, the device is

operation by third parties is possible.
The device must be operated in dry places guaranteeing suf cient air circulation. With an optional
enclosure, the DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET can be run in IP65 environments.
The device can be damaged due to condensation. That is why devices should be properly
acclimated prior to operation.
The ambient temperature when operating the device should not exceed 40 °C and should not fall
below 0 °C, except xT variant.
2.2. Setup location
If the ambient temperature is higher than 40 °C, adequate measures are to be undertaken to pro-
tect the device against overheating.
When unpacking, it is important to pay attention to the temperature difference between the ambient
temperature and the device. In case there is a high temperature difference, it is necessary to wait for
a suf cient period before commissioning the device in order to prevent damage due to condensation.

5. Product description
NOTICE
AES/EBU stubs and the output on the last unit must be terminated.
The DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET is an audio network bridge for integrating Pan Beam speakers with an
AES/EBU input into a Dante audio network. The Pan Beam speakers can be con gured and monitored
from a PC with installed “Pan Beam Setup” software which is located in the same IP network. The Dante
Controller software is required for setting up the interface. It can be obtained from www.audinate.com.
The Pan Net Interface consists of a high-quality aluminum enclosure, providing two Dante ports (primary
and secondary), as well as a Pan Net port. Via the Dante Interface, the connected Pan Beam speakers
can be supplied with two digital audio signals (AES/EBU). The DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET can be run
both in daisy chain mode as well as in redundant mode. It supports sampling rates of 44.1 to 96 kHz.
The interface is also available in a weather-protected version for top hat rail mounting.

The Pan Net Dante Interface is equipped with a power connection for direct-current power supply
(DC), a Pan Net Link and two Dante network (primary and secondary port) connections. Via the Pan
Net Link, Pan Beam speakers with an AES/EBU audio interface can be connected, set up and moni-
tored.
The Pan Net Link port is not allowed to be connected to Ethernet devices such as switches, routers
and network cards of PCs or laptops. Operation of these devices can lead to malfunctions and defects
on these units and on the Pan Net Link port.

7. Dante
7.1. Setup
The active speakers with AES/EBU interface
from Pan Acoustics are to be set up via the
„Pan Beam Setup“ software. The Dante
Controller software from Audinate must
be installed for access to a Dante net-
work. After successful installation, the
Dante interface appears in the bottom
line of the „Pan Beam Setup” software.
The Dante Controller can be launched via
the “Interface” menu item in the „Pan
Beam Setup” program.
The Dante Controller software in its latest
version must be properly installed. Link for
download: https://www.audinate.com
7.2. Routing
In the Dante network, a Pan Acoustics
speaker appears under the “Dante
Receivers” tab. The speaker features two
inputs, Input A and Input B.
For audio routing, the relevant connection
is to be set between the desired Dante
transmitter and the Pan Beam speaker.
Via the “Pan Beam Setup” software,
the relevant audio source of the speak-
er is also to be activated (Input A and /
or Input B).
7.3. Device Confi g
The Dante interface allows to adjust var-
ious settings of the Pan Acoustics speak-
ers via the “Device Con g” tab.
Rename device:
Assign name for the speaker
Sample rates:
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz,

7.4. Network Confi g
The DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET
supports the “switched” and“redundant”
modes in the Dante network.
Switched:
If the DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET is set
to “switched”, an additional Dante device
can be connected on the secondary port,
e.g. a stage box, and operated in the
Dante network.
Redundant:
If the DANTE INTERFACE - PAN NET is
set to “redundant”, the Pan Beam speak-
er can be connected to the redundant-
ly-con gured Dante network via a sec-
ond network cable.
7.5. Status
Via the “Status” tab, information can
be called up on the device,  rmware
and software version, clock status and
network interface.
8. Transport and storage
The product is to be transported with care to prevent any damage that would impair its function.
The product is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Prolonged storage in liquids, e.g.
water, is to be avoided.

9. Maintenance and care
The accessory may show signs of wear over time, e.g. due to mechanical loads, corrosion or improp-
er handling. Therefore, for permanent installations, check at regular intervals for signs of wear and
inspect the contact of the cables in the connector sockets.
When performing inspections, it is particularly important to watch out for deformations, cracks,
notches, damage (on threads, cables and connectors) and corrosion. The power voltage on the power
supply is also to be checked.
If the check reveals uncertainties or damaged parts, the accessories may no longer be used.
The operator/user is required to be familiar with country-speci c comprehensive testing regulations
and to apply them.
10. Disposal
The product is to be disposed of according to existing national regulations.
Please ensure that the product cannot be re-used or used for any other purpose after disposal.
The declaration of conformity for the relevant product from the Pan Beam series can be re-
quested from Pan Acoustics.
