Designed for broadcast, live production, and professional AV environments, the AVN-AO16-DNT provides a cost-effective and dependable solution for transporting low-latency audio between analogue and Dante network domains. The unit incorporates dual RJ45 1Gb/s Ethernet ports that accepts both power and data to the Dante network. These ports, designated primary and secondary, can be configured in redundant mode to provide full network redundancy where infrastructure allows. In this configuration, the unit seamlessly switches from primary to secondary, ensuring continuous audio and power in the event of a link loss or switch failure.
