Dante


Dante/AES67 Analogue and AES Interfaces


The DIO0808MA-XLR is a smaller version of our DIO1616MA-XLR. The unit is a Dante enabled interface converting eight analogue microphone or line level inputs to Dante streams. The unit also converts Dante streams to eight line level analogue outputs. All microphone/line level inputs have adjustable gain from +65dB to -12dB and the analogue outputs from +12dB to -12dB in 1dB steps. Phantom power may be selected to each microphone input and is front panel indicated.

DIO8008R

The unit includes connections for network switch or redundancy operation. The DIO0808MA-XLR is PoE enabled so may be operated without a mains supply if required.

All level control and phantom switching is adjusted using the built in web server. The unit operates at sample rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz. The unit will also operate in AES67 mode.
Power is PoE, 12 volts DC or mains 110-240 VAC 50/60Hz auto switching.
On special request the DIO0808MA-XLR can be supplied with XLR's on the back, network connections on the front.
Dimensions 1RU, 150mm deep.


The DIO1600 is a Dante enabled interface converting sixteen analogue line level inputs and sixteen analogue line level outputs to the audio network. All inputs and outputs have adjustable gain from +12dB to -12dB. As standard the XLR version has XLR's on the front of the unit and network connections on the rear. It can also be supplied in a 1RU format with Tascam standard audio connections similar to the DIO1616MA below.

Network connections may be copper and/or fibre via two SFPs and the unit includes secondary ports for network redundancy. The DIO1600 is PoE enabled so may be operated without a mains supply if required. The unit also has a 100-240V AC mains inlet and also supports 12 volt operation so may be effectively used with a redundant power supply.

The DIO8008R is a Dante enabled control unit for switching audio sources/destinations under Command Line Interface (CLI) or Telnet control. The unit is highly suitable for automated switching and is especially suitable for use within radio station infrastructure.

DIO8008R
The unit has sixteen Dante inputs and sixteen Dante outputs as well as eight balanced analogue inputs and eight balanced analogue outputs. The analogue IO may be supplied with Studiohub+ (DIO8008RS) or XLR (DIO8008RX) connections.

The DIO8008R includes an ethernet control port, separate from the Dante ports and with its own IP address. This port controls all matrix switching. Signal levels for both inputs and outputs may also be controlled in 1dB steps from -12dB to +12dB. The DIO8008R has a built in switch with Dante network redundancy. The unit operates on 110-240VAC 50/60Hz with auto switching.
Dimensions: 1RU 150mm deep.


The DIO816AES is an simple way to get your AES audio into and out of the Dante or AES67 network. The unit has eight stereo AES inputs and eight stereo AES outputs with remote webpage level control. The unit includes a secondary port for Dante Redundancy or a switch output. Both ports include network activity LEDs. Level and operational adjustments may be made using the DIO816AES web page.
