Sonifex AVN-DIO09 Microphone Input To Dante®

Sonifex AVN-DIO09 Microphone Input To Dante®

The AVN-DIO09 is a Microphone input to Dante converter in the Sonifex DIO range of Dante input/output devices with A/D circuitry offering a world-class E.I.N. of 129dB. It features a single high-quality mic preamp with balanced XLR input, coarse and fine gain controls, high pass filter, phantom power, tri-color level LED, and one Neutrik EtherCon® connector for direct connection to a Dante AoIP network. All Sonifex DIO interfaces provide a simple, convenient, and elegant plug-and-play method of connecting legacy analog and digital audio equipment to the Dante AoIP audio network.

Every DIO product is powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) and configured using Dante Controller. They have excellent audio circuitry for the best possible audio performance and are made of sturdy aluminum boxes with side slots for screw attachment. For incredibly dependable connectivity, all have robust Neutrik EtherCon® connectors and Neutrik lockable audio connectors. With a toggle switch for the coarse gain, which provides 20dB/50dB of gain, and a trimmer adjustment tool or small flat blade screwdriver for the fine gain, which adds between 0dB and 36dB of extra gain, the AVN-DIO09 boasts both coarse and fine mic gain. The high pass filter can be turned on or off via an on/off toggle switch. When activated, it operates at a rolloff of 6dB/octave on frequencies lower than 125Hz.

A toggle switch located on the front panel allows you to enable or disable phantom power. When it is on, a 48V DC supply powers a suitable microphone. When Phantom is activated, a red LED becomes visible. An audio level LED on the front panel indicates the audio level being broadcast to the Dante network and assists in adjusting the gain.

Note: If using a phantom-powered microphone, it may be necessary to earth the unit using the rear panel earth tag to eliminate the mains hum, depending on the nature of your PoE supply.
