Audio Press Box APB-216-CD Active Dante APB, 2 MIC/LINE In, 16 LINE/MIC Out

Designed for quick, easy distribution of high-quality audio feeds for indoor and outdoor press conferences, the APB-216-CD-ABX is a 2-input 16-output Dante -enabled distribution amplifier with a built-in Li-Ion battery in a custom Nanuk road case.

A pair of balanced Mic/Line inputs and a single channel Dante input feed 16 balanced transformer-isolated Mic/Line outputs giving you the field flexibility you need to interface with a wide variety of press pool gear. All 3 inputs feature switchable phantom power allowing the use of condenser microphones. A 26dB pad with integrated compression and limiting on each input helps ensure an even undistorted signal is sent to all outputs, no matter the input source.

The APB-216-CD-ABX is portable and comes in a custom waterproof Nanuk road case with a built-in Li-Ion AccuPack Battery. The 8-hour runtime 2200mAh rechargeable battery features microprocessor-controlled battery management with a front panel status meter to avoid unpleasant in-the-field surprises. A 24V DC external power supply is also included.
