NBB-1616 Networked Break-in/Break-out Box
NBB-1616e Expansion Box
Overview:
The NBB-1616 is a fully digitized 16 x 16 Break-in/Break-out box which bidirectionally streams multi-
channel audio throughout off-the-shelf Ethernet cables and switches. The NBB-1616 is designed to be
operated friendly and installed easily as well as system scalable and upgradable. The front panel features 16
clip-hold PPM meters for all the input or output channels. You have control over the audio volume and phase
Features:
16 x 16 fully digitized Break-in/Break-out box
Dante-enabled networked breakbox or stagebox
Streaming audio in robust standard Ethernet cable (a.k.a., Digital Snake)
Supports Layer 3 of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, which means
Streaming through Layer-3 Ethernet switch is feasible
Easily organize network topology with regular Ethernet switches
Redundant networking mode for fault tolerant audio distribution, or
Daisy-chain networking mode for easy coverage extending
Audio routing can be set by Dante-enabled audio console, or
Dedicated Dante Controller software for Windows and Mac OS
24-bit PCM coding with sample rate up to 192KHz
PPM meter with clip hold for input/output level monitoring
Option to double channel capacity with a NBB-1616e expansion box
Support of the latest feature of DDM with router involved
AES3 Digital I/O expansion box available on request
Description:
The NBB-1616 breakbox can be used as a stagebox and direct transceives audio to/from all kind of Dante-
enabled audio consoles or DAW workstations in digital domain. With a dedicated P2P Pairing button on rear
panel, two NBB-1616s can even be one-to-one paired to work as a digital snake which bidirectionally
transceives audio throughout a regular Ethernet cable without the need of audio console or computer involved.
All the routing configuration and device setting are automatically saved and preserved upon power recycle.
The NBB-1616 breakbox adopts Audinate Dante networking technology
for audio transceiving, and is very network friendly with unlimited
flexibility in topology of deployment. It supports up to Layer 3 of IEEE
802.3 network standard, enabling you to organize your audio network with
the on-the-shelf Ethernet switches or to immediately transport streaming audio by taking advantage of your
existing installed network facility with no hassle. Even better, every NBB-1616 breakbox comes with two
Ethernet ports which allow you to physically cascade several NBB-1616s in the same network link. You can
also configure the two Ethernet ports to work independently but parallelly, which means you can redundantly
route two links for seamlessly network backing up of each other. This extremely gains flexibility or reliability
in device deployment for audio networking.
Audio routing among NBB-1616s and all the Dante-enabled consoles or workstations can be configured via
computer with dedicated Dante Controller software which is available free from Audinate website. With Dante
Virtual Soundcard software, you are even able to have your DAW software direct record/play multitrack
streaming audio from/to NBB-1616 breakbox.
The audio input and output interfaces of NBB-1616 breakbox are fully met the requirement of professional
audio industrial. Audio is encoded with the latest and uncompressed 24-bit PCM encoder with sample rate in
48KHz, 96KHz, or even up to 192KHz for extremely exquisite applications. The outputs are peculiarly
buffered with amplifiers of high-rail-voltage which can drive the lines up to 24dBu. In addition to the high-
level of drive capability on outputs, all inputs of NBB-1616 breakbox accept signal of level from mic to line
with individual input gain and phantom power control. The NBB-1616 also equipped with 16 PPM meters
with clip hold functionality for all the input or output channels. This feature we think it is very important for
the audio technicians to simultaneously monitor all the input levels from clipping.
The NBB-1616 breakbox is regularly shipped with channel capacity of 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs
(i.e., 16 x 16 I/O). However, it is not restricted itself here and you have the option to double the channel
capacity for additional 16 x 16 I/O with an expansion box. With the box, you therefore can consolidate totally
32 x 32 audio into the same Ethernet cable.
Furthermore, the NBB-1616 breakbox is firmware upgradeable to support AES67 audio transport on request.
Getting Started Guide:
Powering On
During power-on, the meter panel is blanked initially. The whole system is ready to work after a UNIKA (see
the picture below) shown on the meter panel for about 3 seconds.
Do not power on the device immediately following a power off. At least wait for 10 seconds before you re-
power the device. Fail to do so can make the power supply in the device restart from unknown state.
Sample Rate Setting
Every device in a Dante network must be configured to work in the same
sample rate. Set the first two DIP switches on the rear panel to determine what
sample rate you need, then long press the Sample Rate set button until you see a
SET (see the picture below) shown on the meter panel. You will see the sample
rate status LED on the front panel reflecting the setting you expect. Please be
notified that the sample rate can be changed by computer running Dante
Controller software or Dante-enabled audio consoles. To determine what the
sample rate is adopted in the device, please always look into the sample rate
status LED on the front panel. The position of DIP switches on the rear panel is not necessary to be an
indicator of the sample rate adopted in the device.
Redundant Mode:
There are two Dante network ports in the device. By default, these two ports are configured to work in switch
mode (a.k.a. Daisy-chain mode). In switch mode, the streaming audio data going into any one of the ports will
also switch forward out to the other port, and vice versa. That means you can simply treat these two ports as
loop-in/loop-out ports, but bidirectional. That is to say, you can cascade several NBB-1616s in the same
network link if their Dante ports are all configured to work in switch mode.
You may want to configure the two network ports to work in redundant mode to gain the benefit of reliability.
To toggle the mode setting, simply long press the Redundant/Daisy-chain button on the rear panel until you
see a SET shown on the meter panel. The device will be restarted itself and come out with the mode toggled.
You can confirm whether the mode is changed by looking into the Redundant status LED on the front panel.
In the redundant mode, the two network ports are work virtually independently but the audio transceived over
them are exactly the same. That means you are redundantly routing audio over two network links and the two
links are backing up each other. If any one of the link fails, the audio won't be interrupted because the other
link can keep streaming the audio seamlessly.
