AVN-AO16R

16 Output Dual Dante®Interface, Dual PoE

The AVN-AO16R audio converter and interface converts up to sixteen analogue outputs from the Dante Audio-over-IP networking standard. Dual Ethernet ports allow the unit to operate in redundant mode, ensuring audio routing is maintained in the event of loss of link on either of the network connections. This cost effective 1U rack-mount unit offers an easy solution for AV professionals and system integrators. It is simple to configure and operate, with all set-up, except line-up levels, done via the standard Dante Controller software and power via PoE (Power Over Ethernet). All analogue outputs are on high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors and there are front panel status/confidence LEDs for PoE, Link, and Clock. Global 0dBFS line-up can be set to +12dBu, +18dBu or +24dBu to meet your specific requirement via the front panel recessed toggle switch.

Product Features

  • 16 x balanced analogue outputs on XLR.

  • Adjustable global 0dBFS line up selection (+12dBu/+18dBu/+24dBu).

  • 2 x RJ45 Dante connectors (1Gb/s Ethernet Port) allowing the unit to operate in redundant or switched modes.

  • PoE and Link LED status indicators for each Ethernet port.

  • Clock LED status indicator.

  • Configuration using Dante Controller.

  • AES67 operation & Dante Domain Manager compliant.

  • Powered by PoE on either (or both) Ethernet ports, offering power supply redundancy.

  • 1U 19" rack-mount form factor.

Typical Applications

The AVN-AI016R is suited to a wide range of professional audio environments where reliable, low-latency transport between analogue and networked systems is required. It is ideal for broadcast studios, live production and events, OB trucks, and fixed AV installations such as corporate, education, and hospitality spaces. It also integrates seamlessly into houses of worship and recording studios, providing flexible, high-quality connectivity between traditional analogue equipment and Dante-based audio networks.
