Lectrosonics DNTBOB88 8x8 Dante Interface

The Lectrosonics DNTBOB 88 is a high quality, general purpose interface to transmit and receive line level analog audio signals via a Dante network. Analog inputs are converted to digital and appear on the network as transmit channels. Audio for the analog outputs is taken from subscriptions to transmit channels on the network from other sources. When connected to a network, each break out box will appear as a separate device in the Dante Controller software interface.

Audio delivered to input 1 appears as Dante transmit channel 1 for that device on the network. Input 2 appears as Dante transmit channel 2, and so on. Any Dante device on the same network can then subscribe to the transmit channels and process or route the audio as needed. In a similar manner, each receive channel can subscribe to any transmit channel on the network, and the received audio will be delivered to the analog output of the same number. Receive channel 1 appears at analog output 1, receive channel 2 to output 2, and so on.

Applications are numerous, such as creating a bidirectional digital snake for stage productions, or sending audio to a remote recording location in a courtroom complex, or delivering audio to remote amplifiers and loudspeakers in a stadium.

The unit operates as a native Dante device with automatic device discovery and clock configuration using standard ethernet hardware. High quality A/D and D/A converters ensure excellent audio quality.
