Glensound DARK1616M sixteen channel AoIP interface

‌Network Audio Analogue and AES Interface With Remote Mic Amps The DARK 1616M is an audio interface that provides connections to a Dante or AES67 IP network.

Inputs & Outputs

There are 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, available on 8 x AES connections.  There are also 16 analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs, available in parallel to the digital.  The analogue and digital outputs are always available, and the inputs work either on AES input priority or can be selected via the control app.

The AES3 inputs have sample rate converters and can accept input frequencies up to 192kHz.  The incoming AES3 circuit is always sample rate converted to match the Dante network frequency.  The AES3 outputs are locked to the sample frequency of the Dante network.
