The 16×16 XLR Audio Bridge with Dante® is a professional-grade network audio interface that seamlessly converts up to 16 analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs to and from the Dante® audio network. Designed for professional AV installations, it provides a simple and reliable way to integrate analogue audio equipment into modern Dante® and AES67 audio systems.
Each analogue input features a versatile XLR/TRS combo connector supporting both balanced and unbalanced audio sources, with selectable 48V phantom power and adjustable input sensitivity. Built-in DSP processing provides gain control, 8-band parametric EQ and delay adjustment for both inputs and outputs, allowing system tuning without external processors.
Configuration is quick and intuitive using either the integrated web interface or the industry-standard Dante® Controller software. With redundant Dante® networking, dual PoE+ support and a compact 1RU rack-mount design, the Audio Bridge is an ideal solution for conference facilities, performance venues, education, broadcast and commercial AV applications.
