Sonifex AVN-AI16R

The Sonifex AVN-AI16R is a 1U rack-mount audio interface designed to convert 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 utilizes high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors, ensuring reliable and professional-grade connections. This interface 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.

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

• Redundant Network Support: Dual Ethernet ports provide fail-safe Dante connectivity for critical applications.

• Pristine Audio Quality: Ensures low-latency and high-fidelity digital audio conversion.

• Comprehensive Connectivity: AES3 inputs via DB25 connectors with redundant Dante network ports for robust integration.

• Web-Based Configuration: Easy setup and routing via an intuitive web interface.

• Rack-Mountable and Durable: Designed for reliable use in professional broadcast and live sound setups.

Perfect for studios, live productions, and broadcast environments requiring dependable AES3-to-Dante conversion with network redundancy.
