Sonifex AVN-DIO09

ChatGPT said: The Sonifex AVN-DIO09 is a compact audio interface that converts a single microphone input into a Dante Audio-over-IP (AoIP) network stream. It features a high-quality mic preamp with a balanced XLR input, offering both coarse and fine gain controls to accommodate various microphone sensitivities. An integrated high-pass filter can be engaged to attenuate frequencies below 125Hz, effectively reducing unwanted low-frequency noise. For condenser microphones, 48V phantom power is available and can be activated via a front-panel switch, with an LED indicator displaying its status. A tri-color level LED provides real-time visual feedback on audio levels, assisting in optimal gain staging. The unit connects to the Dante network through a Neutrik EtherCon connector and is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), streamlining installation by combining data and power delivery. Compliant with AES67 and Dante Domain Manager, the AVN-DIO09 ensures compatibility and secure management within diverse Dante network environments.
