General Description
e Mongoose and its Tracker software work with Rane’s
Remotes Audio Devices (RADs) and your CobraNet network to
deliver digital audio to the “last mile” of installations – between
the equipment room/rack and remote spaces. OK, it’s not a mile,
we lied: it’s actually 150 meters (492 feet to those in Liberia,
Myanmar and the USA).
e Mongoose’s 32-by-32 digital audio matrix router receives
its rst 16 audio channels from up to eight RADs via the eight
rear panel 8P8C (RJ-45) Remote Audio Device ports. e second
16 matrix input channels come from two eight-channel CobraNet
receive (Rx) Bundles via standard CobraNet Primary and Second-
ary/backup ports. e 32 matrix router outputs transmit 16
channels to eight RADs and 16 more channels to two CobraNet
transmit (Tx) Bundles.
A family of RAD models is shown to the right. Each converts
analog audio to or from 24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio. Each RAD
mounts in a standard US electrical gang box (except the RAD16,
AM1 and AM2), typically scattered throughout a facility.
Shielded CAT 5e cable and termination transport four digital au-
dio channels – two channels in each direction – as well as power,
ground and a communications channel via Rane’s proprietary
RAD Network.
Features
• 32 by 32 digital audio matrix router.
• Receive 2 and transmit 2 CobraNet Bundles.
• Supports up to 32 digital audio channels from up to 8 RADs.
• Ethernet port supports DHCP, Zeroconf (Link-local & mDNS) &
Auto MDI/MDIX.
• Mongoose Tracker setup software for PC is included.
• Zeroconf-based Discovery automatically nds devices without
IP setup or special IP knowledge.
• Name each Mongoose, RAD and audio channel.

CABLE CONTENTS
Mongoose’s rear panel Ethernet port provides for direct or
network connection to a computer running Rane’s Mongoose
Tracker software. Inexpert users are assured easy network commu-
nications with Zeroconf (Link-local/mDNS) and DHCP support.
Gone are the days of installers requiring intricate IP knowledge.
Yet, facility network managers can congure Mongoose like any
other IP network device. e Ethernet port also supports Auto
MDI/MDIX which automatically detects and permits either an
Ethernet crossover cable (included) or a standard Ethernet cable
to be used when directly connecting to a computer.
