:quelle XDM | Quick Start
Overview
STEP 1 – Power Supply
Connect KLANG:quelle XDM to one of the following power sources:
- AC mains 110–240V
- via PoE (Power over Ethernet switch, max. 15W required) connected to Dante 1 network port.
Dante & Control Network
Connect Network Port 1
Connect KLANG:quelle XDM’s Network Port 1 to your Dante (Primary) network.
Network Port 2
Set a Fixed IP
Menu > Network > Mode > Fixed IP
Specify the subnet mask in CIDR notation. Examples:
- /24 = 255.255.255.0
- /16 = 255.255.0.0
Proceed with the secondary port as required.
Main Menu
KLANG:quelle XDM will automatically switch to the meters screen after a time out. Push the rotary encoder to return to the Main Menu. Turn the encoder to scroll through the submenu items and enter the selected submenu with a push. Exit any submenu with a push on the back button.
MODE
Clock source & Audio routing
Audio Source
Choose the main audio input source, which will also be used as audio sync source to :quelle XDM
- MADI
- Dante
Dante Samplerate
Change the Dante samplerate. This can also be changed via Dante Controller. Options:
- 44.1 kHz
- 48 kHz
- 88.2 kHz
- 96 kHz
Routing MADI to Dante
By default the first 16 MADI channels are routed to Dante. Select
Routing Dante to MADI
XLR OUTPUT
Line out & AES3
The XLR outputs are paired, 1&2, 3&4, etc and each pair can either output analog line level or AES3. For analog line level, which is the default setting, each XLR output of a pair contains a mono channel. The LED halo ring around the odd channel XLR output is off. If a pair is in AES3 mode, the odd channel contains the digital AES3 (AES/EBU) stereo signal, while the even channel is off. The LED halo ring around the odd channel will light up in blue and show that AES3 is used.
In order to switch between analog XLR and AES3 output for a pair, go to the XLR OUTPUT submenu.
Dante Input
Subscribe without Dante Controlle
KLANG:quelle XDM allows direct subscription to Dante transmitters without requiring Dante Controller.
Steps to Configure Dante Input:
- Use the front GUI or connect with KLANG:app
- Go to Menu > Dante Input.
- For each Dante input channel:
- Select the device name.
- In the box below, choose the desired Dante transmit channel from that device.
- The subscription is applied immediately, but it may take 2–3 seconds for audio to start streaming.
Factory reset
Go to menu > RESET XDM
Dante & Firmware Update
At the heart of the KLANG:quelle XDM is KLANG’s powerful FPGA-based KLANTE module, ensuring robust performance and flexibility. Updating the device firmware and Dante software is simple and seamless, all handled through KLANG:app.
How to Update:
- Connect your KLANG:quelle XDM to KLANG:app.
- KLANG:app will automatically check online for the latest firmware version.
- Navigate to KLANG:app > Info > XDM Update and follow the on-screen instructions to install the update.
Alternative Method:
While connected to KLANG:quelle XDM, drag and drop the .quelleUpdate file into KLANG:app to initiate the update.
Download the latest firmware package.
Updates cannot be performed via Dante Controller; the methods described above must be used.
