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. The rear facing panel houses all I/O connectivity including four balanced 3-pin Neutrik XLR inputs, four balanced 3-pin Neutrik XLR outputs, and a single RJ45 Ethernet Dante I/O connector.
Input impedance: Greater than 20kohm, balanced. Output impedance: Less than 50ohm balanced. 0dBFS line-up: +18dBu balanced. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz, 600ohm load, 1kHz reference. THD+N: Less than -110dBFS, -30dBFS, 20Hz to 20kHz, 20kHz BW. Input noise: -110dBFS, 20kHz BW. Output noise: -100dBFS, 20kHz BW. Crosstalk: Less than -100dB, input; less than 100dB, output. Sample rates: 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz. Encoding: PCM 16/24/32. Dimensions (WxDxH): 48 x 11 x 4.3cm. Weight: 0.9kg.
This interface the same functionality as the AVN-AIO4 however is has twice the number of analogue inputs and outputs, therefore a total of eight balanced 3-pin Neutrik XLR inputs, eight balanced 3-pin Neutrik XLR outputs, and a single RJ45 Ethernet Dante I/O connector. Power is also by PoE.
Input impedance: Greater than 20kohm, balanced. Output impedance: Less than 50ohm balanced. 0dBFS line-up: User selectable +12dBu/+18dBu/+24dBu balanced. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz, 600ohm load, 1kHz reference. THD+N: Less than -110dBFS, -30dBFS, 20Hz to 20kHz, 20kHz BW. Input noise: -110dBFS, 20kHz BW. Output noise: -107dBFS, 20kHz BW. Crosstalk: Less than -100dB, input; less than 100dB, output. Sample rates: 44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz. Encoding: PCM 16/24/32. Dimensions (WxDxH): 48 x 11 x 4.3cm. Weight: 1.1kg.
AVN-AIO8R
This audio interface has the functionality and connectivity of the AVN-AIO8, however it has a total of two Dante connections giving the ability for redundancy.
