Trusted Commentary Solutions for Broadcast and Live Production
When clear, reliable communication matters most, the Sonifex sports commentary range delivers trusted performance in the most demanding broadcast and live-production environments. Designed for professional commentators and engineers, these units combine robust hardware with intuitive operation, ensuring seamless delivery whether you’re on-site, on the road, or in the studio.
The Sonifex AVN-CU2 and the AVN-CU4 are highly flexible Dante® or RAVENNA AoIP commentary units designed to meet the demands of modern live broadcast, sports, and remote production workflows, supporting up to 16 Dante® inputs and outputs per unit to deliver fully customisable audio routing, mixing, and monitoring in a single, powerful platform.
Featuring a 16 x 16 integrated mix matrix, configurable rotary encoders with colour-coded metering, comprehensive talkback control, and full remote operation via an intuitive web interface, these units combines advanced production capability with fast, intuitive day-to-day usability. Two or four commentator support, redundant network connectivity via EtherCON® and SFP interfaces, flexible AES3/analogue four-wire connectivity, and configurable GPIO/VGPIO control make these ideal for scalable and adaptable IP-based broadcast infrastructures. Designed for reliability in live environments, they also supports multiple network modes, dual PoE powering, adjustable output limiting, and save-and-recall configuration pre-sets, enabling fast deployment of fully tailored setups across venues, studios, and remote productions.
The Sonifex CM-CU21 and CM-CU1 are rugged, high-performance portable commentator units designed to deliver clear, reliable audio for live sports and event production where a straightforward analogue solution is preferred over complex AoIP systems. The CM-CU21 supports dual commentators plus a guest position, while the CM-CU1 offers a single-commentator format with an additional configurable line input for effects, crowd sound, or programme feeds. Both units provide flexible microphone support with switchable phantom power. Features include comprehensive headphone monitoring using multiple return audio inputs, alongside bright 21-segment LED PPM metering with limiter indication for clear and accurate level control. Integrated talkback, GPIO control, and built-in tone generation enable fast setup and confident operation in demanding live environments. With universal AC and DC powering and robust, transport-ready construction, the CM-CU range delivers a dependable, easy-to-use commentary solution built for professionals.
