    CDI-CA4 - Overview

    Optional 4-channel Dante card for CA Series Amplifiers
    The Cloud CDI-CA4 Dante network card is a retrofit option for all CA Series digital power amplifiers, and allows the amplifier to accept inputs directly from an Audinate Dante audio network.

    This card provides up to four channels of low-latency digital audio via a Dante or AES67 network, channel subscriptions are made using Audinate’s Dante Controller software. The card also runs Dante v4.2 firmware, which gives compatibility with Dante Domain Manager (DDM).

    CDI-CA network cards are compatible with the following amplifier models (power ratings quoted here assume equal power sharing across all channels):

    -CA2250 - 2 channels, 250 W/ch
    -CA2500 - 2 channels, 500 W/ch
    -CA4250 - 4 channels, 250 W/ch
    -CA6160 - 6 channels, 160 W/ch
    -CA8125 - 8 channels, 125 W/ch

    The CDI-CA2, CDI-CA4 and CDI-CA8 cards are primarily intended for use in amplifiers with two, four and eight channels respectively, though all three card types are electrically compatible with all amplifier models. It is possible to fit a Dante input card with fewer channels than the amplifier, if the resulting restrictions are acceptable. For example, a CDI-CA2 card may be fitted in a CA4250 amplifier if only two Dante channels will ever be needed simultaneously: the amplifier's rear panel input routing DIP switches will allow the two analogue outputs of the Dante card to be routed to multiple channels in the amplifier in the same manner as the amplifier's normal analogue inputs. Amplifier channels not being sourced from the Dante card will still be able to operate normally from their analogue inputs. An exception to the rule may be the fitment of a CDI-CA8 card in an amplifier with fewer than eight channels if the dual network redundancy capability of the CDI-CA8 is an essential requirement.
