DANTE/AES67

2 Channel Dante Breakout box based on the Dante Ultimo Chipset

This small 2 channel IO box based on the new Dante Ultimo solution is a cost effective but high quality solution for getting analog signals into or out from a Dante audio network without much infrastructure. It’s small and can be placed under the desk, onto a wall.
It features high quality AD/DA converters and a programmable microphone preamp. This can be used for speech / music installations in buildings, multiroom installattions, for PA systems or even as a high quality soundcard for notebooks or PCs. Power can be supplied via ethernet (PoE) or an external 5V supply. Simultaneous supply by PoE and external supply is possible to achieve redundancy.
All parameters can be controlled remotely by software.
