SONIFEX DANTE AUDIO INTERFACES - Multi-channel - AVN Series

Sonifex AVN-AIO multi-channel audio inputs and outputs to Dante interfaces have been designed as 1U rack-mount solutions for systems integrators within the AV sector. They have either single or dual Dante connection, and are powered via PoE.

AVN-AIO4

This audio interface enables the user to convert up to four balanced analogue audio input signals and up to four analogue audio output signals into a single bi-directional Dante connection. AIO4 is ‘AES67 operation and Dante Domain Manager compliant’ and setup can be facilitated by using Audinate’s free to download Dante Controller (https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller).

The front facing panel of the unit has three LEDs which illuminate when either Clock sync, Link, or PoE is detected. There is also an adjustable global 0dBFS line up selection toggle offering +12/+18/+24dBu. A recessed ‘Reset’ button allows the user to restart data communication if any errors occur.

DANTE AUDIO INTERFACES - Analogue inputs

AVN-M8R

AVN-M8R is a multi-channel Dante interface which can distribute up to 8x balanced mic/line inputs to 8x channels of Dante/AES67 on the AoIP network. Each input can be controlled remotely via a web server, with settings including, mic preamp gain and switchable phantom power.

The front facing panel includes LED indicators for (PoE, network status and clock synchronisation, along with dedicated LEDs for secondary port link and PoE monitoring. On the rear facing panel, 8x balanced 3-pin XLR connectors provide mic/line connectivity and have associated phantom power and indicators. Primary and secondary 1Gb ports are offered as standard to provide full power and data redundancy, ensuring an uninterrupted reliable solution in critical environments. The GPIO and VGPIO can be used to trigger events over the network between devices, such as microphone muting and other events.

Fully compatible with the Dante AoIP standard, allows AVN-M8R flexible audio routing via Dante Controller. Additionally, Ember+ can be used as a control protocol for real-time status updates and remote control.

Optional accessories: AVN-AIORK rear rack mounting kit.
