MONGOOSE

Design Manual

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

Perhaps you are familiar with the furry yet ferocious mongoose, a member of the Herpestidae family that

is known for its agility and cunning – so fast and smart that it can capture venomous snakes, even king

cobras. But did you know that a Rane Mongoose can perform a similar feat with your CobraNet network?

Now we’re certainly not insinuating that CobraNet is venomous! In fact, we’d say just the opposite.

CobraNet is an excellent technology for distributing digital audio. But its 8-channel Bundle architecture

can be diﬃcult to utilize and tame, especially if you have only a few channels to distribute from within a

given space. If this describes your situation, you’ve come to the right place.

e Rane Mongoose system, designed to wrestle and control your CobraNet Bundles and other analog

cables, distributes digital audio signals over shielded CAT 5e cable between low channel count locations

and the rest of your audio system. To accomplish this, it utilizes a network of up to eight Remote Audio

Devices (or RADs) that are connected via CAT 5 cable to a single Mongoose host. A RAD, designed to

mount inside a standard US two or four gang switchbox, uses high value, professional quality technology to

transmit and receive up to four channels of digital audio – two channels in each direction. e Mongoose

to which these RADs are connected, serves as the host that controls and aggregates the channels and

connects them to the rest of the audio system.

Purpose of this Document

If you design audio systems and are planning to incorporate a Mongoose/RAD network into your next

design, then this design manual is for you. It is intended to help you through the design process by giving you

background information on the Mongoose system as well as the basic details of how CobraNet works (in

case you are unfamiliar with this digital networking technology). is manual details the beneﬁts of using

a RAD network and illustrates how to eﬀectively utilize these beneﬁts in various audio applications. It also

includes suggested best practices, sample drawings and Mongoose conﬁgurations, and key information

you should provide to your installers.

PLEASE READ THIS: If you’re short on time and are tempted to jump right in without reading this

manual, we recommend that you at least skim "SECTION 3: DESIGNING YOUR SYSTEM" on page 25

and, most importantly, read about conﬁguration ﬁles in "SECTION 5: INSTALLING AND USING THE

MONGOOSE TRACKER" on page 54. However, unless you need to get this design out the door in the next

hour, we strongly recommend that you review the entire manual. It contains valuable information that will

help ensure a smooth design and installation process.
