Glensound DARK1616D

8x In & 8x Out Digital AES Dante/AES67 Interface

The Glensound DARK1616D is a digital to digital converter designed to connect AES3 audio circuits to/ from a Dante/ AES67 audio network. The Dark1616D Dante audio interface will be compatible with any other manufacturers Dante audio interface. 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 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 of Glensound other Dante equipment 0dBu = -18dBFs.

Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the 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.

Features:

• Connection to Dante / AES67 network for control and configuration
• 8 of AES3 audio inputs and 8 of AES3 audio outputs
• Redundant Network connections
• Network link status GPOs
