HARRISON D510 Rack with Dante Card

Product overview

The HARRISON D510 Rack with Dante Card combines the D510r ten-slot 500 Series rack with the D510dante network audio interface card: 10 in / 14 out converters for every slot.

With the D510dante installed, every slot of the D510r has its own A/D and D/A converter on the network, so analog mic pres, dynamics, EQ or any 500 Series modules integrate into the mix bus, subgroups or channel inserts of a network-audio live console, or into a hybrid studio that uses network audio. Each slot also keeps its own XLR input and output.

Key features

• D510r: 10 standard 500 Series slots, rugged 3U steel enclosure
• Built-in power supply: 170 mA per slot
• XLR input, XLR output and XLR - DIGITAL switch for every slot
• Stereo link jumpers between odd and even slots
• D510dante: 10 A/D and 10 D/A converters, one pair per slot, plus 4 extra D/A
• 44.1 / 48 kHz up to 88.2 / 96 kHz
• Integrated Ethernet switch, primary / secondary RJ45 ports
• BNC TTL word clock input; can be the network clock master

The D510r rack

The D510r houses up to ten standard 500 Series modules in a rugged 3U, 19" steel enclosure. Its built-in power supply delivers 30 % more power per module than the standard 500 Series specification (170 mA per slot), for exceptional stability and ample headroom. Every slot has a female XLR input and a male XLR output, an XLR - DIGITAL switch that selects the rear XLR or the D/A converter of an interface card, and stereo link jumpers between odd and even slots.

D510dante audio over IP

The D510dante card replaces the rear blank plate and puts an A/D and a D/A converter on every slot of the network: 10 inputs and 14 outputs at 44.1 / 48 kHz up to 88.2 / 96 kHz, an integrated Ethernet switch with primary and secondary RJ45 ports, and a BNC TTL word clock input. The rack appears as a single device on the network, with a D/A + A/D round trip of 0.9 ms at 48 kHz.

Network and clocking

HARRISON recommends Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) with CAT5E or CAT6 cables. The card can be the network word clock master using its internal clock, or follow another device; the 75 Ω BNC input accepts a TTL word clock (unterminated: supply a 75 Ω terminator externally). The MUTE LED on the D510r lights until the network is connected.

Grow one module at a time

Whether in the studio, on stage or on the big screen, the D510 system grows with your production. Fill the free slots with any 500 Series modules, such as HARRISON's 32Cpre+ mic preamp, MR3eq parametric EQ and Comp compressor, and build the rig your sessions need.

HARRISON D510 Rack with Dante Card: frequently asked questions

Are 500 Series modules included?

Only the parts listed in this set are included. Fill the free slots with any standard 500 Series modules, such as HARRISON's 32Cpre+, MR3eq and Comp.

Can I add the D510mx mixer later?

Yes. The D510mx is an optional upgrade that mounts on the front of the D510r in place of slots 9 and 10.

What does the MUTE LED on the D510r mean?

It lights when the D510dante card is not connected to a network.

How is the D510r mounted?

In a 19" rack, 3U high. Fit all rack screws, use a rack shelf where possible, and leave ventilation space above and below.

Where can I buy the HARRISON D510 Rack with Dante Card in India?

The HARRISON D510 Rack with Dante Card is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.

Workflow 1: Live sound with network audio

Live engineers inserting 500 Series processing on a networked console.

Connections

Setup

1. Press XLR - DIGITAL on the slots to use.
2. Route console sends to the slots.
3. Return the slot outputs to the console.
4. Check that the MUTE LED is off.

Tip: Use the secondary port for a redundant network.

Workflow 2: Hybrid studio over the network

Studios with recording software on network audio.

Connections

Setup

1. Route playback to the slot D/A channels.
2. Press XLR - DIGITAL on those slots.
3. Record the slot outputs back.
4. Rename signals in the network management software if needed.

Tip: Round trip is 0.9 ms at 48 kHz.

Workflow 3: Word clock master

Small networked systems where the rack is the clock reference.

Connections

Setup

1. Set the D510dante as clock master in the network management software.
2. Set the other devices to follow.
3. Confirm lock.
4. Start recording.

Tip: For external TTL word clock use 75 Ω cable and a 75 Ω terminator.

Workflow 4: Outboard processing rack

Using 500 Series EQ and dynamics as hardware inserts.

Connections

Setup

1. Load EQ and compressor modules.
2. Patch the interface outputs to the slots.
3. Return the slot outputs.
4. Use them as inserts in your recording software.

Tip: Nominal operating level is +4 dBu.

Workflow 5: Stereo processing

Processing a stereo bus with a pair of modules.

Connections

Setup

1. Place a pair of identical modules in an odd and even slot.
2. Set the stereo link jumper to ON.
3. Match the settings.
4. Process the stereo bus.

Tip: OFF keeps the two slots independent.

Workflow 6: Mix bus processing

Adding analog compression and EQ to a console's main mix.

Connections

Setup

1. Put a stereo pair of modules in slots 1 and 2.
2. Set the stereo link jumper to ON.
3. Route the mix bus to the slots.
4. Return the processed bus.

Tip: Round trip is 0.9 ms at 48 kHz.
