• Remote embedded mixing & processing — a powerful embedded DSP gives high pass filters, parametric equalizations, dynamic compressions and fine-pitch digital gain adjustments. A digital mixing matrix allows to mix analog and Dante channels and route them to any output.
• State-of-the-art analog microphone preamplifiers — very high audio dynamic and quality at a very contained price. 60dB gain range, 3dB step, with an EIN as low as -123dBu.
• Dual core ARM processor — ARM Cortex M4+M0 runs a Web 2.0 server for remote control and monitoring, compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
• 5 ports Gigabit switch — reduces latencies, eases cabling and allows daisy chaining the AVDT-BOB with other Dante devices without requiring an external switch.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) — PoE 12W via "Main" port. A single Ethernet cable handles communication and power supply.
• Optional redundant 12V PSU — lockable 6.4mm DC Jack connector for a standard +12Vdc external power supply ensures uninterrupted operation.
• Ears provided for easy racking — lightweight, robust extruded aluminum housing with side ears mountable in any position. Optional kit to interconnect up to 3x AVDT-BOB devices in 1U 19" rack.

What is the Auvitran AVDT-BOB-AE8io?

A compact multipurpose Dante breakout box with 4x Mic/Line inputs and 4x Line outputs on Euroblock. Ideal for live sound and studio recording applications requiring more input and output channels than the AE4io.

What makes the AVDT-BOB-AE8io different from the AVDT-BOB-AE4io?

The AE8io doubles the channel count — 4x Mic/Line inputs and 4x Line outputs vs 2x inputs and 2x outputs on the AE4io. Both use Euroblock connectors and share the same DSP, processor and PoE architecture.

Does the AVDT-BOB-AE8io need a separate power supply?

No. It is PoE powered (12W via the "Main" RJ45 port) — a single Ethernet cable handles communication and power. An optional redundant +12Vdc external power supply via lockable DC Jack is also available.

How is the AVDT-BOB-AE8io controlled remotely?

Via a Web 2.0 interface with direct remote access via Mac OSX, Windows and Linux — from any PC or Mac without additional software installation.

What DSP processing is available on the AVDT-BOB-AE8io?

A powerful embedded DSP provides high pass filters, parametric equalizations, dynamic compressions, noise gate and fine-pitch digital gain adjustments. A digital mixing matrix allows mixing analog and Dante channels and routing them to any output.

Can I daisy chain multiple AVDT-BOB devices?

Yes. The internal 5 ports Gigabit switch allows daisy chaining the AVDT-BOB with other Dante devices without requiring an external switch. An optional mounting kit allows interconnecting up to 3x AVDT-BOB devices in a single 1U 19" rack.

What phantom power does the AVDT-BOB-AE8io support?

+48V phantom power, individually controllable per channel, for the Mic/Line inputs.
