Sonifex AVN-CU4-DANTE 4 Mic/Line input Commentator Unit, Dante

The AVN-CU2 introduces a versatile, multi-functional tool for commentary teams, featuring a powerful mix engine that enhances standard Dante® Controller settings. After establishing Dante® flows, it allows for flexible mixing of AoIP and physical inputs/outputs. With programmable buttons and rotary encoders to adjust gain and pan, it offers comprehensive control and adaptability for various scenarios.
