8 Stereo Station FM Tuner to Dante

At a Glance

The AVN-FM-DNT provides a simple way to bring FM radio into a Dante® or AES67 audio-over-IP network. Designed for professional broadcast environments and 24/7 operation, it receives FM broadcasts and streams selected stations as low-latency Dante® audio across the AoIP network.

With a single RF input and integrated FM tuner, the AVN-FM-DNT captures 8 stations as standard, with field-upgradable licensing available for up to 32 stations. Each station is presented as a dedicated Dante® audio source, allowing individual stations to be routed to monitoring systems, recorders, consoles, workstations and other networked audio devices without the need for multiple analogue connections.


Flexible FM Reception

The AVN-FM supports stereo or mono operation, with selectable 50 µs or 75 µs de-emphasis to suit different broadcast standards. A low-bandwidth mode is also available for noisier signals, helping maintain intelligible audio where reception conditions are less than ideal.


RF & RDS Monitoring

The built-in web interface provides RF signal strength (RSSI) monitoring and RDS decoding, with both RSSI and RDS data also available via Ember+ commands. A real-time RF spectrum display helps with antenna positioning and identifying interference or other signal issues.


Remote Configuration

Configuration, routing and remote control are available through the built-in web interface, Dante Controller and Ember+. Station frequencies, operating modes, network settings, licensing and other system configuration can be managed remotely, with firmware updates also supported.


Power & Network Redundancy

Dual EtherCON network connections provide full data and PoE power redundancy, delivering resilient network connectivity and power for continuous operation. Audio is delivered at a fixed 48 kHz sampling rate.
