Sonifex AVN-AI16R 16 Input Dante Interface PoE with Redundant Dante Port

The AVN-AI16R serves as an audio converter and interface, adept at transforming as many as sixteen analog inputs into the Dante Audio-over-IP network standard. It features two Ethernet ports, enabling it to run in a redundant mode for continuous audio routing, even if one network connection fails.

This affordable, 1U rack-mountable device provides an effortless solution for audiovisual professionals and system integrators. It is straightforward to set up and use, with configuration handled through the standard Dante Controller software, excluding line-up levels, and it is powered by PoE (Power Over Ethernet).

Sonifex AVN-AI16R Features:

• 16 x balanced analogue inputs on XLR.
• Adjustable global 0dBFS line up selection (+12dBu/+18dBu/+24dBu).
• 2 x RJ45 Dante connector (1Gb/s Ethernet Port) allowing the unit to operate in redundant or switched modes.
• PoE and Link LED status indicators for each Ethernet port.
• Clock LED status indicator.
• Configuration using Dante Controller.
• AES67 operation & Dante Domain Manager compliant.
• Powered by PoE on either (or both) Ethernet ports, offering power supply redundancy.
• 1U 19" rack-mount form factor.
