The DIO816AES is an simple way to get your AES audio into and out of the Dante or AES67 network. The unit has eight stereo AES inputs and eight stereo AES outputs with remote webpage level control. It can handle multiple sample rates and includes a secondary port for Dante Redundancy or a switch output. Both ports include network activity LEDs. Level and operational adjustments may be made using the DIO816AES web page.
The AES inputs are fitted with asynchronous sample rate converters and will accept unlocked sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz with no adjustment. This is on a per input basis so each AES input may have completely different sample rates. The AES outputs may be selected to either 48kHz or 96kHz in two groups, 1-4 and 5-8.
