The DIO816AES connects AES audio to Dante or AES67 networks through 8 stereo AES inputs and 8 stereo AES outputs.

Its asynchronous sample-rate converters allow different input sample rates to be used together. Levels and operating settings are controlled from the unit’s web page.

Features

• 8 stereo AES inputs and 8 stereo AES outputs.
• An asynchronous sample-rate converter on each AES input.
• Remote level and operating control through a web interface.
• Secondary port configurable for Dante redundancy or as a switch output.
• Network activity indicators on both network ports.
• Dante and AES67 operation.

Specifications

• AES inputs: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz or 96 kHz; each input can use a different sample rate.
• AES outputs: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz or 96 kHz, configurable in groups 1–4 and 5–8.
• Dante/AES67 network: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz or 96 kHz.
• Input and output level adjustment: -12 dB to +12 dB in 1 dB steps.
• AES connections on rear-panel XLR sockets.
• Power: 110–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, auto-switching.
• Format: 1 RU, aluminium case.
