AVN-M8R 8 Mic/Line Input Dante Interface, Dual PoE
The AVN-M8R multi-channel Dante interface is a 19” 1U rack-mount unit which distributes 8 balanced Mic/Line inputs to 8 channels of Dante/AES67 on the AoIP network. Each Mic/Line input can be controlled remotely via a web server, with settings including, mic preamp gain and switchable phantom power.
A typical application might be to distribute up-to 8 separate balanced Mic and/or Line feeds onto an AoIP system and routed via Dante Controller to other nodes on the network.
The front panel includes clear LED indicators for power (PoE), network status and clock synchronisation, along with dedicated LEDs for secondary port link and PoE monitoring.
On the rear 8 XLR balanced Neutrik connectors provide the professional Mic/Line interface with phantom power indicators and the unit is powered via PoE for installation savings, reliability and efficiency. Primary and secondary 1Gb ports are offered as standard to provide full power and data redundancy, ensuring an uninterrupted reliable solution in critical environments.
The GPIO and VGPIO can be used to trigger events over the network between devices, such a microphone muting and other events.
Advanced Control & Remote Management
Fully compatible with the Dante AoIP standard, the AVN-M8R allows for flexible audio routing via Dante Controller. Additionally, Ember+ can be used as a control protocol for real-time status updates and remote control.
A built-in web server enables easy configuration of each input type on the AVN-M8R, these include:
Individual Mic-In settings include:
- Phantom Power
- Preamp Gain (16dB to 76dB) in 3db Increments
Individual Line-In settings include:
- 5 Levels of Input Line-up (+15dBu to +24dBu = 0dBFS)
Individual Mic-In and Line-In Settings:
- High Pass Filter
- High Pass Corner Frequency
- Signal Presence Threshold (dB)
- Signal Presence Timeout
Global Settings
- Status LED's Enable/Disable
As shown above, the “Device Settings” page within the built-in web server, shows all 8 Mic/Line inputs as 8 channel strips, each displaying its associated Mic settings. Selecting a channel strip allows you to edit and configure its parameters.
A convenient “Copy Settings” function lets you duplicate settings across your 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”.
The 8 channel strip view above is displaying its associated Line settings, again allowing you to edit and configure its parameters. The copy function is also available ensuring speed and efficiency on set-up.
The unit supports AES67 operation and is Dante Domain Manager compliant offering a simple and intuitive user experience. With its robust feature set, flexible connectivity, and remote management capabilities, the AVN-M8R is the perfect solution for broadcasters, recording studios and live sound applications that require high-quality professional AoIP integration from their sources.
Rack-Mounted for Seamless Integration
The AVN-M8R is designed for professional installations, with a full-width aluminium 19” chassis and a compact 1U height. This standard rack-mount form factor ensures easy integration into racks rooms in any environment, providing a space-efficient solution without compromising on performance.
Accessories
- AVN-AIORK - 1U Rear Rack Kit For AVN-AIO/M Range
The AVN-AIORK is a 1U rear rack-mounting bracket designed for use with any product from the AVN-AIO/M range. It allows the unit to be mounted with its rear panel facing forward in a standard rack, providing convenient access to all rear connectivity. This alternative mounting solution is ideal for setups where frequent cable changes or monitoring connections are required.
