Sonifex AVN-DIO16

The Sonifex AVN-DIO16 is a compact audio interface designed to convert Dante Audio-over-IP (AoIP) signals into four balanced analog outputs. It features four high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors for analog output and a Neutrik etherCON connector for direct connection to a Dante network. The front panel includes a recessed toggle switch that allows users to set the global 0dBFS line-up level to +12dBu, +18dBu, or +24dBu, accommodating various system requirements. LED indicators provide visual feedback on network clock status, AoIP link status, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) activity. The AVN-DIO16 is powered via PoE, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies. It utilizes the latest Audinate Dante chipset, ensuring AES67 compliance and compatibility with Dante Domain Manager for secure and scalable network management. This interface serves as a reliable bridge between Dante AoIP networks and analog audio outputs, making it a valuable tool for audio professionals seeking to integrate networked audio systems with traditional analog equipment.
