The AVN-DIO05 is a Dante to analogue terminal block input & output convertor from the Sonifex DIO range. It features stereo analogue input and output on terminal block connectors and a Neutrik EtherCon® connector for direct connection to a Dante network. The superior A/D and D/A circuitry used is designed for optimal audio performance, offering >120dB of dynamic range – ten times better than comparable products. Audio and power are delivered via the EtherCON® connection, supporting PoE for simplified installation. The unit incorporates Audinate Dante chipsets and is compliant with AES67 and Dante Domain Manager. Like all Sonifex DIO interfaces, it provides a simple plug-and-play solution for connecting analogue and digital audio equipment to Dante networks, with configuration handled via Dante Controller. It is housed in a rugged aluminium enclosure with provisions for desk mounting, and an optional accessory, AVN-DIORK, allows multiple units to be installed on a 19″ rack-mount shelf.
