Intercom and commentary system specialist Delec Audio-und-Videotechnik has added the Nio 0204 to its unito range of Dante audio networked interfaces and amplifiers, for broadcast and production.

The unit is a a flexible and adaptive networked monitoring controller and preamp, which can be connected directly to any Dante-equipped system or a computer running Audinate’s Dante Virtual Sound Card (VSC), or it may be located remotely to the monitored device or system, connecting via standard network switches and infrastructure.

Cost-effective and with a small footprint, the Nio 0204 is aimed at facilities, production and broadcast providers that use centralised computing or processing. It can sit alongside a KVM connected computer display, keyboard and mouse and provide monitoring to loudspeakers or headphones, while the Dante connection presets also allow rapid reselection of the workstation being monitored. Microphones for voiceover, continuity or commentary can be connected via its 32-bit inputs. Other analogue and digital IO connect to other local sources, such as portable or installed media players for local audition, or ingest to the central system via the return Dante connection.
