DESCRIZIONE
16-channel Analog/Dante Converter
1U size Dante converter with 16 channel analog line inputs/outputs.
Dante protocol is adopted. Supports building highly stable and flexible systems.


"ML-16D" is a compact 1U converter which can convert 16-channel analog line input/output signals into Dante signals. Dante also supports redundancy (primary/secondary). Equipped with D-sub connectors as analog line inputs and outputs. The line-up includes "ML-32D", which can convert 32-channel analog input/output signals to Dante signals, to meet a wide variety of needs.
Dante module firmware V1.2.0.0 now supports SMPTE ST-2110-30, which will enable a smooth IP transmission of PCM digital audio for structuring broadcast systems.
* Audinate's provided Dante Domain Manager (DDM) v1.1 or higher is required for the operation of SMPTE ST 2110-30.

"ML-16D" is able to convert up to 16-channel analog line input and output signals into Dante signals.

Primary and secondary connectors enable building a redundant system with a duplex network. Even when the main line, the primary network route fails, it automatically switches to the spare line, the secondary network route. It is possible to build a highly secure system which does not cause an interruption or noise at all at the time of switching the networks.


"ML-16D" uses Dante Controller to configure the main unit and to connect to other Dante-compatible devices. Dante Controller enables flexible routing configuration to other Dante-compatible devices.

Dante supports AES67, which enables audio connection with systems using AES67 and AES67-compatible protocols including Ravenna.

The front panel is equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables monitoring of analog input/output signals. The signal indicator turns on when a signal level becomes lower than -60dBFs.

It is possible to select a reference level setting from 5 maximum level options: +24dBu, +22dBu, +20dBu, and +18dBu (the standard level is +4dBu) and +15dBu (the standard level is +6dBu), which can accommodate to a variety of purposes including professional usages, usages in broadcasting studios, public addresses, and recording systems.
