Safety information 5
General description
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing the Thunder|Core-enabled Control 01/02 AES/EBU Monitor
Processor.
The Dynaudio Control 01 and Control 02 are extremely capable Monitor controllers, processors, and digital audio
interfaces, which are ideal for your sound studio as pristine and versatile tools for playback on analogue and AES/
EBU-enabled speakers.
Control 01 has two native stereo headphone outputs and 8 AES/EBU outputs (16 digital channels). Control 02
adds 8 analogue line outputs for a combined 24 output channels.
The internal routing engine provides a 1024 × 1024 matrix, allowing all inputs and outputs to be patched in any
combination. In addition, a 512 × 64 channel summing processor and a 1024 filter SPQ equaliser are also
available for room tuning and standards compliance.
Control 01 and 02 support sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz to 348 kHz and a 28-bit floating-point resolution.
They have a Thunderbolt 3 interface with 256 bidirectional channels for connection to the host computer and can
also provide 15W power on each port for powering peripheral devices. Digital I/O is provided for 256 channels of
Dante™, 64 channels of MADI, 16 channels of ADAT, four channels of S/PDIF, and 16 channels of AES output.
Control 02 has eight additional analogue line outputs.
NOTE:
Control 01 and 02 are operated via the DADman control software. The control is handled via the Thunderbolt
connection or Ethernet if Thunderbolt is not connected to the unit. The DADman software can be downloaded
here: https://www.dynaudio.com/
Below is a diagram of the overall functionality.

Figure 1: Block diagram of the unit
General description 7
Before you start
Place your Control 01/02 on a hard and dry surface or mount it into a 19-inch rack and leave plenty of room for
ventilation.
To meet the EMC requirements of directives EN 55032 and FCC 47 CFR part 15, and to obtain the highest
performance of the Control 01, you must use good-quality and correctly shielded cables for all external
connections when installing Control 01. For the power connection, a regular unshielded power cable with a
proper protective earth conductor can be used.
Make sure that your sound system is at a safe volume level.
8 Control 01 and 02 Installation Guide
Mechanical installation and low fan
noise
Control 01 and 02 are fitted with two very quiet fans to ensure optimum operating temperature. Under normal
operating conditions and with correct installation, the fans are inaudible in the studio environment. The fans are
temperature-controlled, i.e., the rotation speed, and thereby noise depends on the temperature inside Control 01/
02.
The optimal air flow is through the ventilation openings in the front panel to the rear of the unit. When the unit is
installed, considerations must be made to ensure proper air circulation for the air leaving the rear of the unit. The
speed of the low-noise fan will be automatically increased to maintain a low internal temperature if there is
insucient airflow. If the internal temperature exceeds 60°C / 140°F, a temperature alarm will appear in the
DADman software and is also indicated by the red error LED on the front panel.
Before you start 9
Network configuration
Control 01 and 02 are equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet connectors, and internally they feature an Ethernet
switch, a controller part, and a part for the IP Audio option powered by Dante™. The network connectors can
operate as two “parallel” connectors for the internal switch, or as dual connectors for redundant IP audio
operation. In this case, controlling the unit is done via Net port 1.
Control 01 and 02 have two or three dierent IP addresses:
▪ One for the unit control via DADman (Main CPU).
▪ A second for the primary Dante IP audio in single mode.
▪ An optional third IP for the secondary Dante IP audio in redundant mode if that is utilised on the Net 2
connector.
The factory default IP setting of the controller port (Main CPU) of the Control 01 is DHCP. This IP address can be
changed manually via DADman or set to be automatically assigned by a DHCP server / router on the network.
10 Control 01 and 02 Installation Guide
Control software
installation
The DADman control program operates on any Windows- or macOS-based computer and is frequently updated
to ensure compliance with the latest OS versions.
This section will take you through the installation procedure for the DADman computer control program. Control 01
and 02 are controlled from a PC or MAC via the Thunderbolt 3 connection or by a network connection.
▪ For control via a network connection, the PC / Mac and Control 01 or 02 units must be connected on the
same subnet, e.g. 255.255.•••.•••.
▪ For control via Thunderbolt 3, the DAD Thunderbolt 3 driver must be installed.
Control software installation 11
Installing the DADman remote
control program
1. Visit https://www.dynaudio.com/control, select your product, and click Download on the product page.
Please note that there are two separate program downloads: one for Windows and one for macOS.
2. Install the DADman software following the provided instructions from the installer.
3. Create a shortcut for the DADman program on the desktop.
4. Double-click on the DADman icon and launch the DADman application.
12 Control 01 and 02 Installation Guide
Connect your Control 01 or 02 to
DADman
Control 01 and 02 can be controlled via Thunderbolt or Ethernet. At the first start-up, the DADman window may
be blank as no units are yet connected. In the top menu bar, select Tools > Device List, and the window will
display a list of the discovered units. If the unit is connected via Thunderbolt, this will appear in the list. If there is
no Thunderbolt connection, the units can be connected via Ethernet. If a unit on the Ethernet does not appear in
the list, apply “Refresh” to discover the Control 01 over Ethernet. The Device List window is shown in Figure 1. A
unit will always be discovered, but depending on your network configuration, it must be set to either DHCP or
Manual IP addressing. The unit type displayed is “PROCNT”.
In order to attach the unit to DADman, the connect box has to be checked.
Figure 2: DADman Device list
NOTE:
If the DAD Thunder|Core Thunderbolt driver is installed on the computer where DADman is running, the software
will automatically connect via Thunderbolt to Control 01 or 02 and not via Ethernet.
Control software installation 13
Assigning the IP address for the computer and the Control 01 and
02
When the DADman program is installed, you can finalise the network configuration of Control 01 or 02. You have
the option of using fixed IP addresses or IP addresses assigned via DHCP. DHCP can be auto-assigned via the
Ethernet port by itself or via an external DHCP server, which provides IP addresses for all units on your network.
Fixed IP address
You must have a preferred range of IP addresses and a network mask for the computer network, as well as the
connected Control 01 and 02 units.
1. Configure your computer’s IP address and network mask via the computer control panel to e.g. 10.0.7.25
| 255.255.255.0
Select Control 01 or 02 in the DADman Settings / Device List menu by right-clicking on the unit line and selecting
“Network settings”.
2. In DADman, configure each Control 01 or 02 in turn with a unique IP address and the preferred network
mask, e.g. 10.0.7.21 | 255.255.255.0. In this window, you can also configure the Dante IP audio network
settings.
When you are done, you can connect more than one Control 01 or 02 to the network, and they will appear in the
DADman Device List.
Automatic IP address
To automatically assign IP addresses to Control 01 and 02, you must have a network with a DHCP server that will
allocate the IP addresses; otherwise, the IP addresses will be self-assigned.
Configure your computer’s IP address via the computer control panel to use DHCP. Select the Control 01 or 02 in
the DADman Tools / Device List menu by right-clicking on the unit line and selecting “Network settings”. If you have
more Control 01 or 02 units connected, they will all be configured with an IP address via DHCP.
Once the DHCP system has allocated an IP address to the unit, it will appear in the DADman Device List with the
name PROCNT.
14 Control 01 and 02 Installation Guide

Digital I/O and Network Connections
Dual MADI SFP I/O mini-module (optional)
Figure 8: Dual MADI SFP I/O mini-module
The Dual SFP module can operate as a MADI interface or as DADlink. The Dual SFP module can be installed with
one or two “Small form-factor pluggable” (SFP) transceiver modules supporting Optical LC connection or mini
coax HD-BNC electrical connection. The mini coax HD-BNC electrical SFP connection works only with MADI. The
optical SFP modules are standard types that support single-mode or multi-mode optical fibres of various types, as
well as dierent wavelengths.
For MADI, typically 1300nm types are used. Each SFP module has a receiver and a transmitter part and can be
used for MADI audio I/O, DADlink, or a combination of both. When using DADlink optical SFP modules, they have
to be Gigabit/1000BASE types. For MADI optical SFP modules, there can be both 1000BASE and 100BASE
types. The right part of the SFP connector is the receiver, and the left part is the transmitter.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connectors
The dual Ethernet connectors are used for remote control of the unit via DADman software over the network, as
well as for Dante IP audio connections. Net 1 should be used for remote control and the primary Dante interface,
while Net 2 can be used for either the secondary Dante interface or as a switched port for connecting other
devices.

Reconfig button
The “Reconfig” button on the back of the Control 01/02 should not be used during normal installation. It is
generally intended as a last-resort recovery function in case something goes wrong during the programming of IP
addresses or a software upgrade, e.g., an unintended power loss. It allows the Control 01/02 to start in various
“basic” modes so it can be restored without having to be returned to the factory.
The “Reconfig” button is accessed via a hole in the rear panel using a pen or a similar pointed item. A green LED
is visible through the hole. When the “Reconfig” button is activated, the LED will light up, indicating the two
reconfig modes of the CONTROL 01.
Reconfig mode
Figure 10: Reconfig button
Reconfig button pushed while the unit is powering up – Green LED turns ON.
The Control 01/02 enters a recovery mode. In this mode, only a basic boot software is operative in the unit, and
new software can be downloaded via the DADman software. This mode is used if the software in CONTROL 01 is
not operational or malfunctioning for some reason. The IP address settings of the unit are the last setting used in
the unit.
Reconfig IP short push while the unit is in reconfig mode and Green LED is on – Green
LED turns OFF.
The Control 01/02 remains in reconfig mode as described above. The IP address settings of the unit are,
however, set to DHCP. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the Control 01/02 will default to IP address
10.0.7.20 / 255.255.0.0 after approximately 2 minutes.
The selection of either of the two recovery modes is fixed after selection. The Control 01/02 will start with a basic
boot software and IP configuration. It will not be operational until a proper firmware has been downloaded via the
DADman software and the device has been restarted. By enabling recovery mode with the default IP address and
network configuration, the unit can always be identified on a network via the default setup.
NOTE:
Note that the IP address referred to is the IP address of the controller/management interface of the unit. This is not
the IP address of the IP audio interface if one is installed. This IP address cannot be accessed in Recovery or
Restore Defaults mode.
