Glensound DARK1616D
Dante/AES67 Network Audio 8x AES3 Inputs 8x AES3 Outputs interface
The Glensound DARK1616D is a digital to digital converter designed to connect AES3 audio circuits to/ from a Dante/ AES67 audio network.
Dante network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear audio over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment manufacturers. The Glensound Dark1616D Dante audio interface will be compatible with any other manufacturers Dante audio interface. Further details of Dante network audio can be found at www.audinate.com
Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the Glensound Dark1616D has been designed with multiple redundancy capabilities. It has 2 mains power sources and it also has fully redundant network connections for both Copper & Fibre circuits.
The Glensound Dark1616D provides 8 balanced AES3 inputs and 8 balanced AES3 outputs to the Dante network on rear panel D25 connectors wired to AES59 (also known as the Tascam standard).
As per our other Dante equipment 0dBu = -18dBFs
