Cloud Electronics CDI-CA2
The Cloud Electronics CDI-CA2 optional 2-channel Dante 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.
The CDI-CA Dante network card provides up to eight 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):
A2250 – 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
All three card types are electrically compatible with all amplifier models making it 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.
