The Rio Series Dante enabled interface devices compliment our Neutrino-N and Uno-N Series of Dante network audio processors but can be utilized with any Dante enabled product brand. Both models provide bi-directional Dante network audio transport - analog audio input, conversion, and transport over Ethernet cable and Dante network audio to analog audio breakout. They provide a cost-effective way to add two (2) or four (4) I/O channels of Dante audio to an existing Dante based networked audio system and their small form factor, included surface mount brackets, and PoE power capability make it easy to locate Dante connectivity exactly where you need it.
Description:: It has 1/4 rack chassis size Dante interface devices. The front panel of both models provides Dip switch selection of Mic or Line input and 48v Phantom power on a per channel basis and an RJ-45 Dante network audio connector with power and network LED’s. The rear of each model provides 2 or 4 analog audio inputs and 2 or 4 analog audio outputs on 3.81mm Euro connectors and a 12VDC external power supply connection. The external power supply is included but you can also power the devices using PoE power. Surface mount brackets are included and the devices can be mounted to rear rack rails, to rack shelves, onto any surface or used free standing with or without the removable mounting brackets. An optional 1RU rack panel provides the ability to rack 4 devices side by side in a 19” equipment rack. All Dante enabled devices in a system are connected to form a Dante network as shown in the drawing on page 2. The Rio Series Dante interfaces might be used in conjunction with our Neutrino-N and Uno-N Dante enabled processors and software (software shown at the right) or utilized with other Dante enabled product brands. In both cases the user must download and use the Dante Controller software, as shown at the top right, in order to complete the Dante configuration, routing, and management of devices on the Dante network.
Applications:: The Dante interface devices whenever you need a high quality, small format, Dante interface. Digitally transport 2 or 4 channels of audio over Ethernet cable using Dante network audio. Convert Dante audio back into analog audio at a destination point.
