Sonifex - AVN-M8R, 8 mic/line, Dante

AVN-M8R 8 Mic/Line Input Dante Interface, Dual PoE

The AVN-M8R multi-channel Dante interface is a 1U rack-mount which distributes 8 balanced mic/line inputs to 8 channels of Dante/AES67 to the AoIP network. Each mic/line input have remotely programmable settings including, mic preamp gain and switchable phantom power.

A typical application might be to distribute up-to 8 separate balanced mic/line feeds onto an AoIP system and routed via Dante Controller to other nodes on the network.
The front panel includes clear LED indicators for power (PoE), network status, and clock synchronisation, along with dedicated LEDs for secondary port link and PoE monitoring.
On the rear 8 XLR balanced Neutrik connectors provide the professional mic/line interface with phantom power indicators. Powered exclusively via PoE (Power over Ethernet) for installation savings and efficiency. Primary and secondary 1Gb ports are offered as standard to provide power and data redundancy, ensuring an uninterrupted reliable solution in critical environments.

The GPIO and VGPIO can be used to trigger events over the network between devices, such a microphone muting and other events.

Advanced Control & Remote Management

Fully compatible with the Dant AoIP standard, the AVN-M8R allows for flexible audio routing via Dante Controller. Additionally, an Ember+ tree provides real-time status updates and remote control.
A built-in web server enables easy configuration of each input type.
Individual Mic-In settings include:

• Phantom Power
• Preamp Gain (16dB to 76dB) in 3db Increments

Individual Line-In settings include:

• 5 Levels of Input Line-up (+15dBu to +24dBu = 0dBFS)

Individual Mic-In and Line-In Settings:

• High Pass Filter
• High Pass Corner Frequency
• Signal Presence Threshold (dB)
• Signal Presence Timeout
• Unit in Dark Mode (all unit status LEDs off)
• Mute

The unit supports AES67 operation and is Dante Domain Manager compliant offering a simple and intuitive user experience.

With its robust feature set, flexible connectivity, and remote management capabilities, the AVN-M8R is the perfect solution for broadcasters, recording studios, live and installed sound applications that require high-quality professional AoIP integration from their sources.

Rack-Mounted for Seamless Integration

The AVN-M8R is designed for professional installations, housed in a full-width 19” rack unit with a compact 1U height. This standard rack-mount form factor ensures easy integration into racks rooms in any environment, providing a space-efficient solution without compromising on performance.

Accessories

• AVN-AIORK - 1U Rear Rack Kit For AVN-AIO/M Range

The AVN-AIORK is a 1U rear rack-mounting bracket designed for use with any product from the AVN-AIO/M range. It allows the unit to be mounted with its rear panel facing forward in a standard rack, providing convenient access to all rear connectivity. This alternative mounting solution is ideal for setups where frequent cable changes or monitoring connections is required.
