DiGiCo Dante A168D STAGE Portable 16 input 8 output IO Expander

DiGiCo Dante A168D STAGE Portable 16 input 8 output IO Expander

16 mic/line in and 8 lines out expander I/O unit, providing portable remote I/O connectivity where it’s required.

The audio interface shall have sixteen mics/line inputs on XLR connectors with remote-controlled pre-amplifiers. Inputs shall have individually selectable phantom power with a front-panel indication of status. It shall also have eight line-level outputs on XLR connectors. There shall be two locking EtherCON ports. One shall be a primary Dante port and the other a secondary Dante port. These two ports shall have two modes which shall be chosen in Dante Controller. In Switched mode, the two ports shall be switched together. In Redundant Mode, the ports shall work as a redundant pair with separate IP addresses meaning that if the primary connection fails, the secondary connection shall take over. The mains input shall accept 100 – 240V 50/60Hz 40W. The IEC input shall have an adjacent clip with which to secure the power input cable. It shall be possible to mount the audio interface in a standard 19” rack using an optional rack-mount kit
