2N® Net Audio Decoder PCB, Part No. 914053E
Accessories:
- 12 V / 2 A DC adapter, Part No. 914102x (E – Europe, GB – Great Britain, US – USA)
Product Description
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB is a LAN audio converter designed for public sound distribution through the 2N IP Audio System. It is connected to the 2N IP Audio System via the local area network (LAN). It communicates with the 2N® IP Audio Manager, receives the audio stream, decodes it and converts it into an analogue signal. The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB can be controlled by two buttons in the front or an infrared remote controller.
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB is equipped with a digital input and output, which extend the converter options and may be helpful in special applications. The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB helps you extend the internal FLASH memory using microSD memory cards. Apply the 2N IP Audio System software for configuration and use of all functions (refer to the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Quick Start and 2N IP Audio Administration manuals for more details).

Electric Installation
It is very easy to connect 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB electrically. Follow the steps below to avoid equipment damage or electrical injury:
- Connect the audio signal output with an external amplifier.
- Connect the digital input and output.
- Insert the microSD card.
- Connect the UTP cable.
- Connect a 12 V power supply.
Digital Input and Output
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB is equipped with a relay switch for light signalling/external amplifier/alarm/activation. The output is available on terminals marked LOGIC OUT and allows for switching of up to 24 V / 1 A AC/DC loads. The relay is controlled by the audio stream sent to the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB.
Warning:
Do not exceed the upper voltage and current limits to avoid irreversible damage of the equipment.
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB is equipped with a digital input for an optional button, sensor of movement or other applications. This input is available on the LOGIC IN terminal. 5 to 24 V DC voltage can be applied to the input against the ground terminal marked DC IN-. In the case of external button, the DC IN+ terminal can be used.
Warning:
Do not exceed the maximum voltage values (24V) applied to the LOGIC IN input to avoid irreversible damage of the equipment.
Memory Card
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB is equipped with a microSD card slot for storing music or voice in case the equipment is not connected to the LAN permanently or temporarily. The microSD card slot is available at the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB front.

Power and Connection
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB can be connected to a standard local area network using a LAN interface via the RJ-45 connector on the backside. Always use CAT-5d or higher class cables for reliability reasons. The LAN interface is equipped with the Auto MDIX function for automatic detection of a straight or crossed cable.
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB can be fed using a 12 V / 2 A DC (Part No. 914102E) power supply, or another power supply on condition that you keep the nominal values included in the Electric Parameters subsection.
Connect the 12 V DC power supply either to the back supply connector marked DC IN, or terminals marked DC IN+ and DC IN-.
Warning:
If you use an adapter other than the recommended one, do not exceed the nominal supply voltage value of 12 V. Also make sure that the supply voltage polarity is correct. Exceeding nominal values and/or incorrect connection may lead to irreversible damage of the equipment.
2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB Factory Reset
In some cases, it may be useful to reset the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB factory values using the RESET button in the back. Do this, for example, if the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB ceases to respond, which may be caused by incorrect LAN settings, LAN configuration changes, forgotten password and so on.
Resetting Procedure:
- Use a thin rigid tool to press the RESET button on the back panel.
- Keep the RESET button pressed (for approx. 15 s).
- Release the button as soon as the LED starts shining violet.
This operation takes about 50 s. Do not disconnect the device from power supply during this period.
Firmware Upgrade
The 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB firmware upgrade starts automatically whenever the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Lite PCB gets connected to the 2N® IP Audio Manager. This guarantees that all connected devices have identical and latest firmware versions. Refer to www.2n.cz for the latest firmware version.
