Sonifex AVN-DIO03

The Sonifex AVN-DIO03 is a compact audio interface that converts Dante Audio-over-IP (AoIP) network streams into stereo headphone outputs. It provides both 1/4-inch and 3.5mm headphone jacks, allowing users to monitor Dante audio channels directly. A front-panel volume control adjusts the headphone level from mute to a maximum gain of +6dB, accommodating various listening preferences. To protect hearing, the device includes a limiter with an adjustable threshold ranging from approximately -12dBu to 0dBu, which can be set using a trimmer tool. An LED indicator illuminates when the limiter is active, prompting users to reduce the volume to maintain audio quality. The AVN-DIO03 features high-quality digital-to-analog conversion with a dynamic range of 120dB, ensuring clear and detailed audio reproduction. It connects to the Dante network via a Neutrik EtherCon connector and is powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies. This interface is fully Dante compliant and AES67 compatible, making it a versatile tool for audio professionals who need to monitor networked audio streams with standard headphones.
