author
Sonifex Ltd.

The AVN-AO16 audio converter and interface converts up to sixteen analogue outputs from the Dante Audio-over-IP networking standard. This cost effective 1U rack-mount unit offers an easy solution for AV professionals and system integrators. It is simple to configure and operate, with all set-up, except line-up levels, done via the standard Dante Controller software and power via PoE (Power Over Ethernet).

All analogue outputs are on high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors and there are front panel status/confidence LEDs for PoE, Link, and Clock. Global 0dBFS line-up can be set to +12dBu, +18dBu or +24dBu to meet your specific requirement via the front panel recessed toggle switch.

  • 16 x balanced analogue outputs on XLR.
  • Adjustable global 0dBFS line up selection (+12dBu/+18dBu/+24dBu).
  • 1 x RJ45 Dante connector (1 Gb/s Ethernet Port).
  • PoE, Link, and Clock LED status indicators.
  • Configuration using Dante Controller.
  • AES67 operation & Dante Domain Manager compliant.
  • Powered by PoE.
  • 1U 19″ rack-mount form factor.

(The AVN-AO16R is available with dual redundant Ethernet ports).
