Glensound VITA MINI Dante network audio interface

The VITA Mini is a very powerful Dante® network audio interface, in a compact belt pack style. It has a mic/line input and headphone monitoring connection for a single user, and contains two 4 wire circuits. One of these is typically used as an on air channel, and the other as a talkback channel. The high quality microphone input, with the Glensound Referee compressor, makes the Vita Mini suitable for on air commentary use, particularly when pitch side.

The flexibility of the talk button configurations, means that the Vita Mini can also be used as a talkback unit as part of a Dante® or AES67 network. VITA Mini is a low cost yet high quality broadcast tool, designed to keep both the company accountant and engineering department happy.

Two Four Wire Circuits

The VITA Mini has two 4 wire circuits. These are typically used as main programme on air, with a separate talkback circuit. The push buttons for each circuit are configurable and can operate in different modes, to allow configuration for different types of uses:

• Latching on/off
  
• Momentary push to talk (PTT)
  
• Intelligent mode where a short tap is latching, but a longer hold becomes momentary
  
• Always on and mutes when pressed (cough)
  
• Pressing one button mutes the other circuit (talkback)
