Audinate has announced a line of Dante Avio adapters – cost-effective endpoints that enable connection of legacy analogue and digital audio equipment to Dante networks. The Dante Avio series features six adapters including line-in and line-out analog adapters, a bi-directional AES3/EBU adapter and a bi-directional stereo USB adapter.
The Dante Avio Analog adapters are available as dedicated inputs or outputs with one or two channels of audio to allow mixers, mic preamps and stage DIs to be connected to a Dante audio network, while analogue output adapters can be used to drive amplifiers, powered speakers or recorders. Long runs of noisy analog cable can be eliminated and all signal routes are managed via Dante Controller software.
The Dante Avio USB adapter connects any computer to a Dante audio network without additional software, providing class-compliant stereo input and output that can be used by any audio application. Ideal for presentations and conference rooms, the Dante Avio USB adapter may be passed between computers without altering networked audio connections.
The Dante Avio AES3 adapter provides stereo input/output, preserving investments in AES3-connected DSPs, mixers, compressors and preamps. Any AES3 device may be fully connected to any Dante network with no degradation of signal due to extraneous D/A and A/D conversion.
The adapters carry a list price of US$129.
