Sonifex AVN-AI16

The Sonifex AVN-AI16 is a 1U rack-mount audio interface that converts up to sixteen analog inputs into Dante Audio-over-IP (AoIP) signals, facilitating seamless integration of traditional audio equipment with modern networked audio systems. Each input is equipped with high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors, ensuring reliable and professional-grade connections. The device supports multiple sample rates, including 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz, with a user-selectable 0dBFS line-up level of +12dBu, +18dBu, or +24dBu, allowing for flexible integration into various audio environments. For applications requiring network redundancy, the AVN-AI16R variant offers dual Ethernet ports, allowing operation in redundant mode to maintain audio routing in the event of a network link failure.

• 16-Channel AES3 to Dante Conversion: Converts up to 16 channels of AES3 digital audio to Dante AoIP streams.

• High-Quality Audio: Ensures low-latency, pristine digital audio conversion for professional use.

• Comprehensive Connectivity: Features AES3 inputs via DB25 connectors and Dante network connectivity over Ethernet.

• Intuitive Web-Based Control: Fully configurable through a user-friendly web interface for easy routing and setup.

• Durable Rack-Mount Design: Built for reliability in demanding studio and live sound environments.

Ideal for broadcasters, studios, and audio professionals integrating AES3 devices into Dante-enabled networks.

The Sonifex AVN-AI16 is a 1U rack-mountable audio interface that converts up to sixteen analog inputs to the Dante Audio-over-IP networking standard. It features 16 balanced analog inputs on Neutrik XLR connectors, with a user-selectable global 0dBFS line-up level of +12dBu, +18dBu, or +24dBu. The device offers a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.2dB), THD+N of less than -110dBFS at -30dBFS, and a dynamic range of 120dB. It supports sample rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz with linear PCM encoding at 16, 24, or 32 bits. The AVN-AI16 is AES67 compatible and Dante Domain Manager ready. It connects to the network via a single RJ45 port supporting 1Gbps or 100Mbps speeds and is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant with the 802.3af Class 0 standard. The unit's dimensions are 48cm (W) x 11cm (D) x 4.3cm (H), and it weighs 1.1kg.
