Audio and connectivity specialist DirectOut has announced the third generation of its Andiamo interface. The device comes with newly designed AD/DA Converters, network based audio and remote control.

‘When we launched our first Andiamo in 2010, we already had the feeling that it would be a game changer,’ says DirectOut CEO and CTO Claudio Becker-Foss. ‘Now, 12 years later, our clients can witness the evolution of Andiamo to again meet their expectations for an AD/DA Converter they can count on.’

Optionally supporting network audio formats Ravenna, Dante or SoundGrid, the third generation Andiamo offers a very high channel count in a single 1U rack space unit – up to 288 inputs and 288 outputs with internal routing matrix and failover redundancy using Ears. The device features eight summing buses, input and output gains and trim, hardware monitoring for PSU status and temperature and redundant power supplies. Remote control over network is available via globcon.

‘While modernising the feature set of one of the most reliable AD/DA converters on the market, we still wanted to keep it simple’, Becker-Foss adds. ‘Our goal was also to make it possible to use the Andiamo without remote control if needed. A very straight forward bank routing, clock and I/O selection are directly accessible from the front panel.’
