Sonifex AVN-AESIO8R 8 AES3 Input and Output Dual Dante Interface with PoE

The AVN-AESIO8R is the go-to solution for audio installers looking for seamless integration and top-tier performance in digital audio conversion. This 1U rack-mount unit is built for efficiency, converting up to eight digital stereo AES3 inputs and outputs to and from the Dante Audio-over-IP standard. With sample rate conversion built-in, it ensures that your signals are perfectly aligned with the Dante system’s sample rate, making installations smoother and more reliable. Dual Ethernet ports provide redundancy, keeping audio routing intact even in the case of a network failure, while high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors ensure solid and dependable connections. The intuitive setup procedure is done through the Dante Controller software, with PoE for power, eliminating the need for extra cabling. Plus, with front panel LEDs for PoE, Link, and Clock status, monitoring is as straightforward as it gets. Whether you're outfitting a new system or upgrading an existing one, the AVN-AESIO8R offers a reliable, cost-effective solution that simplifies your job while delivering exceptional audio quality.
