Inexpert users are assured easy network communications with Zeroconf (Link-local/mDNS) and DHCP support. Yet, facility network managers can configure Mongoose like any other IP network device.

While delivering superb sound quality in the cafetorium, it also ties in with the existing school paging system, and provides the possibility of additional functionality in the future (as new RADs are introduced). Data Sheet - 4 · Two RAD1s are installed at the stage front for four mics. It is a prime target for the Mongoose because of the low channel count in each room and the scattered locations of each audio input and output. This system requires more than eight RADs and, therefore, requires more than one Mongoose. These examples and more are described in greater detail in the Mongoose Design Manual, downloadable at www. rane. com/ mongoose. There you can download the Mongoose Installation Manual, example Tracker Configuration files, DWG and JPG files of the Mongoose and RADs, and the latest software. www. rane. com/mongoose Data Sheet - 5 MONGOOSE Extend digital audio beyond your CobraNet network Labor Factors & Termination Advantages INPUTS OUTPUTS 4 + ­ + DSP 8 + ­ + 7 ­ + 6 ­ + 5 ­ 3 ­ + 2 ­ + 1 ­ + 8 ­ + 7 ­ + 6 ­ + 5 ­ + 4 ­ + 3 ­ + 2 ­ + 1 ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ Insert hum and RFI here Old method (before Mongoose) represents 96 analog audio terminations.
