xIO XLR Endpoints

We at Symetrix know customers will find this to be a craft product they will want to use in various installs, whether old or new. If those installs have Symetrix equipment then great; if it is a different system we still want to provide the highest quality option possible with the most flexibility.††

The xIO XLR-Series supports 48 and 96 kHz.†

The minimum Dante latency setting is 1ms.

No, the xIO XLR has a single Dante/control network RJ45 port so it cannot support Dante redundancy.

Yes, the xIO XLR supports Dante and AES 67.

The xIO XLR-Series uses POE.

Yes it can. The xIO XLR is a standard Dante endpoint. Composer is required for initial configuration and a Symetrix DSP is required for realtime control if desired. Composer version 8.5 and later include the xIO Updater/Configurator which takes the place of needing to have Symetrix DSP in the system to connect to and control our Dante devices. Previous Composer versions will still need a Symetrix DSP.

Pretty much anything! The front button can be used to momentarlly show LED statuses and is associated with a logic output in the Intelligent Module for the xIO XLR. This logic output can be used for any control function in Composer. This button can also be disabled.

Yes, using Composer, the LEDís can reflect any system parameter such as signal presence, clip, mute, or preset. Or they can easily be blacked-out.†

Single-gang models will support EU form factors but not double-gang models. There is just too much good stuff to fit in a EU double-gang box!

The xIO XLR Series uses die cast zinc for the front bezel, faceplate, and rear housing.

The product is available in four models. Two single-gang configurations offer either one input and one output (1◊1), or two inputs (2◊0). Two double-gang configurations offer either two inputs and two outputs (2◊2) or four inputs (4◊0).†

This is normal function of the xIO XLR. Its default configuration for the LEDs is ìcontrol pinsî which themselves will be disconnected/unconfigured from the factory. You can set these in the Composer Intelligent Module. Refer to this†Tech Tip†for more information.

All xIO XLR devices have three device specific properties available in the properties window.† Normal LED Functionñ Specifies the normal function of the LEDs. Control Pin ñ The Intelligent Module control pin inputs are used to set the LED colors and brightness. The incoming value is sampled every 0.5 and applied to the LEDs. The incoming values is shown in the Intelligent Module UI as well. Off ñ The LEDs are off Phantom Power ñ The LEDs show Phantom Power operation for the corresponding XLR Amber ñ Phantom Power is on Off ñ Phantom Power is off Signal Level ñ The LEDs show Signal/Clip information for the corresponding XLR Red ñ The signal is clipping Green ñ The signal is present Off ñ No signal is present Button Press Function ñ Controls what happens when pressing and releasing the button on the unit. Two gang devices have two buttons but both are programmed to react the same Flashlight ñ The LEDs will temporarily light white to light a dark area until the button is pressed again or after 10 seconds elapses, when they will return to configured normal operation. Phantom/Level Toggle ñ The LEDs will first temporarily show the Phantom Power status as described above. After a second press, the LEDs will them temporarily show the Signal Level as described above. After a third press or after 10 seconds elapses, when they will return to configured normal operation. Control Pins ñ The LEDs will temporarily light with the values from the Control Pins as described above until the button is pressed again or after 10 seconds elapses, when they will return to configured normal operation. Disabled ñ The front panel button does nothing when pressed. Button Hold Function ñ Controls what happens when pressing AND holding the button on the unit for some amount of time and then releasing. Two gang devices have two buttons but both are programmed to react the same. Disabled ñ Pressing and holding has no function. Reset ñ depending on the amount of time the button is held before releasing, one of the following functions will occur with a unique LED pattern shown for each option. 3 seconds ñ the unit will reboot. This is indicated by a purple flashing sequence occurring once after 3 seconds. 10 seconds ñ the unit will reset the IP settings and reboot. This is indicated by a purple flashing sequence beginning again after 10 seconds and then continuing until 20 seconds is reached. 20 seconds ñ the unit will reset to factory defaults and reboot. This is indicated by the LEDs stopping flashing and turning solid purple when 20 seconds is reached..
