Sonifex AVN-PA8 8 Stereo Analogue Line Inputs & Outputs AES67 Portal

Three strong audio mix engine interfaces (AVN-PA8, AVN-PD8, and AVN-PM8) with metering, equalization, and audio routing capabilities are part of the AVN-Portal family. They can mix and route flexibly from any input to any output and have both physical audio I/O and AES67 stream I/O, which is suitable for a variety of applications. A summary of all the portals' contents can be seen on the gateway landing page (click this link). RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP is used for communication between products, enabling straightforward CAT 5 wiring and expansion. They can be used for Dante� AES67 capable streams as well since they advertise streams utilizing Avahi/Bonjour and SAP.

Applications

  • 8-output analog zone mixer, with individual output gain control.
  • 8-channel clean-feed generator, with input mixing and gain control on inputs and outputs.
  • Distribute 8 stereo channels of audio over an SFP fiber connection.
  • IFB generator to send 64 x AES67 streams to individual belt-packs.
  • 8-output headphone distribution system, with separate input mix for each headphone output and individual gain control.
  • Input mixer with input/output metering and AES67 stream generation.

Key Features

  • 8 x stereo line inputs and 8 x stereo line outputs on D-type sockets with AES59 analog pinout, paralleled with 8 x RJ45 connectors using StudioHub® pinout.
  • The ‘T’ version has audio I/O on terminal blocks.
  • The ‘D’ version has input & output metering.
  • Input/output full-scale line-up.
  • Responsive webserver software router/mixer.
  • Up to 8 AoIP input streams with a maximum of 16 channels to be routed.
  • Up to 8 AoIP output streams with a maximum of 8 channels each (i.e. 64 channels).
  • Dual 1Gb Ethernet & 1Gb SFP port.
  • Dual AC & DC power supply inputs.
  • 10 user assignable GPIO ports.
