The first plug-and-play endpoint that bridges AVB and Dante\u00ae networks, the PreSonus\u00ae AVB-D16 16×16 AVB-to-Dante Bridge enables you to send and receive up to 16 audio channels between PreSonus StudioLive\u00ae Series III mixers and a Dante network. With one or more AVB-D16s, you can easily integrate PreSonus StudioLive\u00ae Series III mixers, NSB-series stage boxes, and EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers with Dante-enabled DSPs and other Dante-enabled products, such as PreSonus CDL-12 constant directivity loudspeakers.<\/p>\n
The AVB-D16 supports AVB audio at 44.1 and 48 kHz and Dante audio at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. Built-in asynchronous sample-rate conversion ensures that the AVB-D16 provides precision clock isolation between the AVB and Dante networks for pristine, clear audio with no dropouts or artifacts. This also allows you to run different sample rates on the AVB and Dante networks, so even if you\u2019re operating a Dante network at 96 kHz, you can still connect streams between your StudioLive Series III AVB network operating at 48 kHz with total confidence that the audio will be clean and error free.<\/p>\n
You get one AVB port on a locking etherCON connector and two Dante ports on etherCON for redundant networking. Network Link\/Activity Monitor indicators enable you to monitor the data flow.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re looking at your Dante network setup from Audinate\u2019s Dante Control software or managing a StudioLive Series III AVB ecosystem from PreSonus UC Surface control software or a StudioLive Series III console touchscreen, each AVB-D16 presents itself as a simple 16×16 network device. The result is a truly cohesive networking experience between the two protocols.<\/p>\n
