Compliancy
To avoid moisture condensations do not install the
unit where the temperature may rise rapidly.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits of the following standards for digital
devices:
Cleaning
•
•
•
EN55103-1 (Emission)
EN55103-2 (Immunity)
FCC rules part 15, class A (Emission)
To keep the cabinet in its original condition,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use
organic solvents such as thinners or abrasive
cleaners since these will damage the cabinet.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause

A number of AO 6004 can be combined to
decode more channels. Up to 20 pieces AO
6004 can be connected and configured in one
system to decode more channels.
AO 6004 Audio Output Unit
General description
Easy to use with preconfigured settings and
automatic channel assignment at start-up:
The AO 6004 Audio Output Unit for the DCS 6000
system enables the user to record the sound from a
number of interpreted language channels or floor
channel on external devices such as tape- or hard
disk recorders by analogue interface.
Output A – channel 0
Output B – channel 1
Output C – channel 2
Output D – channel 3
It can also be used to distribute sound channels to
for example infrared distribution or loudspeaker
system.
•
•
User control of the AO 6004 by sending
commands from a PC via CU 6005/6010.
Features
The unit is connected to the bus as any other
unit and by controlling it from the CU
6005/6010 it can be placed anywhere in the
system.
•
•
Decoding of 4 language channels into analogue
audio chosen out of the possible 31 digital
channels as well as the Floor channel in 3
qualities.
•
The unit can be used as a single unit, installed
in a 19’’ rack or inserted in a slot in the CU
6005.
The 4 decoded channels are available on 4
analogue outputs (XLR connectors).

Front plate layout
The front plate layout of the AO 6004 Audio Output Unit consists of 4 XLR analogue transformer balanced
outputs and 2 DCS-LAN connectors:
Front plate controls and indicators
System settings
The AO 6004 is an easy to use AO unit with pre-
configured settings and no user interface in terms of
controls, display or indicators.
Pre-configured settings
The AO 6004 comes with pre-configured settings
and can be used without additional configurations.
Front plate connectors
The AO 6004 automatically assigns channels to the
outputs at start-up. Output A is assigned channel 0
(Floor), Output B is assigned channel 1, Output C is
assigned channel 2 and Output D is assigned
channel 3.
ꢀ
Audio Output A to D
On the front are located 4 XLR 3P connectors, each
supplying transformer balanced audio signal from
each of the 4 channels.
The outputs can be used for tape recording purpose
i.e. or for connecting a digital infrared transmitter
like DT 6008, DT 6032 or analogue infrared
transmitter IT6108 for wireless transmission of the
interpreted languages.
The output volume for each channel is +3 dB,
which is the recommended level for connecting to
DT 60xx.
The unit can be re-configured using SW 6000. The
settings for a reconfigured unit can be saved in the
CU 6005/6010.
ꢀ
DCS-LAN connector
Two RJ45 sockets are located at the front of the unit
for connecting to the previous unit like the CU
6005/6010 Central Unit or any other unit with a
DCS LAN connector and to the next unit like an IS
6132 Interpreter set, CS 6032 Channel Selector,
DM/CM 6xxx Conference Unit.
SW6000 settings
The SW6000 can be used for changing the
assignment of channels to outputs and for setting
the volume.
Both the Conference Administration Application
(CAA) and the Conference User Application (CUA)
can be used to configure the AO units connected.
They both have settings for assigning channels to
each of the 4 outputs A-D. Each output can be set to

Normal operation
Powering up
Connect the AO unit(s) to the rest of the system via
the DCS-LAN connectors and connect the audio
outputs to the appropriate units (tape recorders,
infrared transmitters, etc.).
Floor: automatic gain controlled output
Floor 1: loudspeaker unregulated audio
Floor 2: loudspeaker regulated audio
An ambience microphone will only be active on the
Floor channel, not on Floor 1 or Floor 2
Switch on the power on the CU 6005/6010.
During the initialization the AO unit will
automatically assign channels to the outputs. The
unit is immediately ready to use after start-up unless
other channels need to be assigned to the outputs or
the channel volume needs to be adjusted. These
adjustments can only be done using the SW 6000.
Values: {Floor 2, Floor 1, Floor, 1,…, 30, 31}
The volume of the outputs can also be set if the
default settings are not appropriate.
Values: {Off, -40, -39,…, 14, 15}
Refer to the CAA and CUA User Manuals for more
details.

General guidelines
Connect the AO 6004 to the various units using Cat
5 FTP or STP cables. Please observe the following
guide lines:
•
Maximum cable length in one chain when
using repeaters is 650 m.
If the last unit in one chain is a CS 6032 Channel
Selector, this unit has to be terminated with an
external termination, as the CS 6032 does not have
an internal termination.
•
Maximum cable length in one chain is 200
without repeater. This includes
m
interconnection cables between the units.
The max. usable cable length depends on
the units connected and length of feeding
cables etc.

Typical schematics
Connect the AO 6004 to the DCS 6000 network
using Cat 5 cables. The Analogue Audio output
connectors are connected to either tape recorders
for recording the interpreted channels or to IT6008
Infrared Transmitter(s) for transmitting the
interpreted channels wireless.
Using AO 6004 with IT 6108 IR-Transmitter
When using the AO 6004 with the IT 6108 Infrared
Transmitter, the audio output level on the AO 6004
has to be set to match the sensitivity on the
transmitter.
The correct level to be set on each connected
channel on the AO 6004 is –12db.
Using AO 6004 with DT 60xx Digital IR-Transmitter
When using the AO 6004 with the DT 60xx
Infrared Transmitter, the audio output level on the
AO 6004 has to be set to match the sensitivity on
the transmitter.
can as earlier mentioned be changed using SW
6000. Please refer to the section ‘Pre-configured
settings’ on page 8. The DT 60XX input level
settings should be set to –6dB.
The correct level on each connected channel on the
AO 6004 is +3dB. This level is factory preset, but

Cabling
CAT5
The phase of the pairs must be correct and the
wiring spec. as stated in CAT5 (EIA 568-B) have to
be followed.
The DCS 6000 system uses CAT5, CAT5e or
CAT6 FTP or STP cables with screened RJ45
connectors.
Note: CAT6 cables can normally only be
terminated in sockets (female) and not in cable
plugs. CAT6 should thus only be used for long
cable draws terminating in wall outlets or patch
panels.
EIA 568-B wiring shall be used.
It is important to use only FTP or STP
(screened) cables and screened RJ45 connectors
and not UTP cable, which is unscreened.
