16 Channel Analogue & AES3 I/O Network Audio Interface with Dante - DARK1616M

The DARK 1616M is an audio interface that provides connections to a Dante or AES67 IP network. There are 16x digital inputs and 16x digital outputs, available on 8x AES connections. There are also 16x analog inputs and 16x analog outputs, available in parallel to the digital. The outputs are always available, and the inputs work either on AES input priority or can be selected via the control app. The AES3 inputs have sample rate converters and can accept input frequencies up to 192kHz. The incoming AES3 circuit is always sample rate converted to match the Dante network frequency. For ease of cabling, audio I/O is presented on D25 sockets to the AES59 standard for which there are a number of break out cables available from multiple manufacturers.
