Glensound AoIP4I Dante Audio Interface with 4 Inputs
The Glensound AoIP4I puts four balanced analog audio inputs onto a Dante or AES67 network, from a small, rugged box that takes its power from the network cable.
It is made for outside broadcast, theater, and location work, where existing analog equipment has to join the network quickly. PoE carries power and audio on one cable from a PoE network switch or a midspan PoE injector. With an external supply also connected, power is redundant, and the AoIP4I keeps working if either source is lost. A blue rear LED shows that it is on.
Audio and Network
The inputs are electronically balanced on gold-plated Neutrik XLRs and can be wired unbalanced, each taking up to +18 dBu before clipping. On Dante, the AoIP4I carries all four channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz, or two channels at 88.2 or 96 kHz, and AES67 runs at 48 kHz.
Mounting
Stick-on rubber feet come with it for use on a desk or workbench. Large holes at the corners take cable ties, or screws to mount it permanently.
