Satellite Speaker IP64 Master

This active 2-way satellite loudspeaker can be placed in almost any location.

It is powered by 24V and connected to an Audioserver or Miniserver Compact via Tree Turbo. Through the Master Client Interface (MCI), it can transmit the audio signal to up to 20 additional Client Speakers. It also supports wireless music streaming via Bluetooth.

Mounting↑

Remove the terminal cover on the back and connect the 24V DC power supply and the Tree Turbo data lines to the speaker as follows:

To a Master Speaker, up to 20 Client Speakers can be connected in a line via the Master-Client Interface (MCI):

The audio signal is transmitted digitally from speaker to speaker. The system compensates for differences in signal transit time and therefore only works with the wiring shown in a linear configuration. On the MCI data lines, there must be no branching or parallel connection to additional speakers!

When only a few speakers are used, the power lines can also be run in a linear fashion. When using many speakers in a line, voltage drop becomes the limiting factor. This can be addressed by using wires with a larger cross-section, shorter cables, or additional 24V power lines. It is essential to always connect the grounds of different power lines.

The connection cable must be fixed for strain relief:

Commissioning↑

After connecting and switching on the power supply, the speaker boots up for about 30 seconds and is then ready for pairing via Tree Turbo.
The Master Speaker will go into pairing mode after 5 minutes if it cannot connect to the Audioserver or Miniserver Compact that it was paired with.

SD Card↑

The Micro SD card, located inside the speaker enclosure, contains the operating system and settings. Please disconnect power connection from the device before operating with the SD Card.

The speaker can be opened as follows:

• Use a plastic tool to carefully remove the grille, avoiding scratches to the surface.

• Unscrew the six crosshead screws (PH2) securing the baffle.

• Remove the baffle from the housing.

• Remove the damping material.

• Disconnect the 4-pin terminal connecting the speaker to the PCB.

The SD card can be removed as follows:

• Slide the hinge-type slot towards the center of PCB with your finger.

• Open the hinge and remove the SD card.

• Reassemble the speaker by reversing the disassembly steps.

• During reassembly, ensure that the cable is properly positioned to avoid pinching it between the baffle and housing.

• Gently push the grille on its edge into the black adhesive to secure it properly.

• Push the black adhesive in the edge to secure the grille properly.

Programming examples↑

Example 1:

A Master and Client Speaker line on the same Audio Player function block

Environment:
A room with limited space

Installation:
3 Client Speakers are connected and paired with one Master Speaker

Programming:
1 Audio Player function block:

Result:
The speakers always behave identically in terms of selected source and volume.

Example 2:

A Master and Client Speaker line on different Audio Player function blocks

Environment:
Small restaurant with a bar, the two areas are acoustically adjacent

Installation:
5 Client Speakers are connected and paired with one Master Speaker

Programming:
2 Audio Player function blocks, 1x for restaurant, 1x for bar, both combined in a fixed group:

Result:
Both areas can sensibly only play the same audio source. However, the volume at the bar can be changed or muted independently of the restaurant.

If different audio sources are to be played simultaneously in two or more rooms, an additional Master Speaker must be used per room.

Example 3:

2 lines consisting of 1 Master and 1 Client Speaker each

Environment:
Two separate living spaces

Installation:
One Client Speaker is connected to each respective Master Speaker per room and paired

Programming:
1 Audio Player function block per room:

Result:
Both rooms can be operated completely independently in terms of source and volume.

Bluetooth Functionality↑

Activating Bluetooth

To enable Bluetooth functionality:

In the user interface: Navigate to the Audio Player settings and activate Bluetooth in the Bluetooth menu.

In Config: Set the BTp parameter on the Audio Player.

In Config (Fixed Group): Set the BTp parameter on the Audio Player within the Fixed Group.

Visible Bluetooth Name

The displayed Bluetooth name is determined as follows:

Single Master Speaker on the Audio Player: Displays the name of the room assigned to the Audio Player.

Two or More Master Speakers on the Audio Player: Displays the names of the outputs connected to the Audio Player.

Single Master Speaker in a Fixed Group: Displays the name of the Fixed Group.

Two or more Master Speakers in a Fixed Group (with only one Master Speaker per Audio Player): Displays the names of the rooms assigned to the Audio Players.

Bluetooth Reset

Performing a Bluetooth reset will remove all previously paired devices:

In the user interface: Use the Bluetooth menu in the Audio Player settings to reset.

In Config: Trigger the reset using the Rtd (Reset to Default) input on the Audio Player.

Streaming Bluetooth Signal to Other Zones

The Bluetooth signal can be streamed to additional zones via Dynamic Grouping in the user interface.
