Sonifex AVN-AESIO8R 8 AES3 I/O Dual Dante Interface, PoE

The AVN-AESIO8R audio converter and interface converts up to eight digital stereo AES3 inputs and eight digital stereo AES3 outputs to and from the Dante Audio-over-IP networking standard. Each input can accept sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz, which will be sample rate converted to the Dante system sample rate. A valid input signal is confirmed by front panel AES3 lock LEDs for each input. All outputs follow the Dante system sample rate.

Key Features

• 8 x balanced digital stereo AES3 inputs on XLR, supporting input rates of 32kHz - 192kHz
• Sample rate conversion on physical inputs to Dante system sample rate
• 8 x balanced digital stereo AES3 outputs on XLR, output rate matches Dante system sample rate
• 2 x RJ45 Dante connectors (1Gb/s Ethernet Port) allowing the unit to operate in redundant or switched modes
• PoE and Link LED status indicators for each Ethernet port
• Clock LED status indicator
• AES3 Lock LED status indicators for each input
• Configuration using Dante Controller
• AES67 operation & Dante Domain Manager compliant
• Powered by PoE on either (or both) Ethernet ports, offering power supply redundancy
• 1U 19” rack-mount form factor
