The Sonifex AVN-M8R is a high-quality professional interface designed for integration of audio to a Dante/AES67 AoIP network, converting eight mic/line inputs into Dante/AES67 streams.
The AVN-M8R targets broadcasters, recording studios and live sound applications that require high-quality professional AoIP integration from their sources. The unit offers XLR balanced mic/line inputs, each with web server-based management, and is powered via PoE that can supply 48V phantom power for up to eight microphones simultaneously.
Fully compatible with the Dante AoIP standard, the AVN-M8R’s audio routing can be managed via via Dante Controller. It is also Dante Domain Manager compliant. Additionally, Ember+ can be used as a control protocol for real-time status updates and remote control.
The AVN-M8R’s built-in web server offers a well-designed interface that makes it easy to configure and manage settings for each input type. The Device Settings page shows all mic/line inputs as channel strips, each displaying its associated mic settings. A Copy Settings function allows settings to be duplicated across a choice of channels. For ease of use, each channel strip displays the hardware channel number, Dante Input Name and a user-defined Local Input Name, giving full control in any scenario.
Individual mic-in and line-in settings include a high-pass filter, high-pass corner frequency, signal presence threshold (dB) and signal presence timeout.
Primary and secondary 1Gb ports are offered as standard to provide power and data redundancy, ensuring an uninterrupted reliable solution in critical environments. A 19-inch 1U rackmount aluminium chassis ensures the AVN-M8R is both durable and compact.
