General Requirements & Venue Questions
Before You Start
Questions for Your Venue
Answers to the following questions help integration technicians understand the environment and plan for success:
- Do you have a network administrator (IT)?
- Do you have internet limitations for guests (Splash page, username/password)?
- Do you have access to the technical room to integrate the DVOX solution?
- Are you able to install a hard-line network connection and XLR cables to the DVOX solution?
- Does your venue have good Wi-Fi coverage; does it use soft-handoff and/or load balancing?
- What type of bandwidth (download/upload speeds) does your venue have available?
- Can the DVOX solution be whitelisted on the configured network?
General Requirements
XLR Audio Input
ℹ️
The DVOX audio acquisition is done using an XLR3 input connector. DVOX inputs are standardized at 0 gain, therefore **volume is controlled prior to the audio acquisition**.
- Standard XLR3 input connectors
- Standardized at 0 gain (volume controlled at source)
- Two inputs available on the STEREO unit
Power
- Power entry is an IEC-C13 chassis-mounted receptacle connection
- NEMA 5-15 power cable included in the package
- Power consumption: 50W
- Input voltage: 110-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz
Wi-Fi Coverage
Generally, bandwidth minimum requirements of 3 to 5 Mbps are recommended for a decent listening experience.
Recommendations:
- Use a guest network infrastructure with the DVOX unit whitelisted
- Enable VoIP prioritizing active
- Ensure good coverage throughout the event space
- Verify soft-handoff and load balancing capabilities
WAN Access
⚠️
Both the DVOX unit and client devices **require access to the internet to load the streaming interface** (dvox.live). However, once connected, **all data communication is done locally**.
- Internet required for initial setup and configuration verification
- Software version verification requires internet connectivity
- Automatic updates require internet access
- All streaming and audio communication remains local after initial connection
