Glensound DARK16O Network audio interface for Dante/ AES67

‌16 Analogue Outputs From DANTE/ AES67 Networks

The DARK16O is a versatile break out box for receiving analogue audio from a network utilising the Dante and AES67 audio over IP (AoIP) protocols. In total there are 16 channels of audio being received from the AoIP network and converted via low noise DACs (Digital to Analogue Converters) to balanced analogue outputs.
