The Dark1616 has 8 off AES3 inputs and 16 off analogue inputs, but they cannot be used at the same time.   The AES3 inputs take priority over the analogue (if an AES3 input is receiving a valid AES3 signal then it will turn off the equivalent analogue input pair and route its output to the network).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneously there are 16 channels of audio being received from the network by the Dark1616 and these incoming circuits are provided as outputs from the Dark1616 in both AES3 and analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AES3 inputs have sample rate converters on them and can accept input frequencies up to 192kHz.  The incoming AES3 circuit is always sample rate converted to match the Dante network frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AES3 outputs are locked to the sample frequency of the Dante network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ease of cabling audio I\/O is presented on D25 sockets to the AES59 standard (Tascam wiring convention) for which there are a number of reasonably priced break out cables available from multiple suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing designed for resilient broadcast applications the Dark1616 features both redundant power supplies and redundant Dante network links with link status GPOs (general purpose outputs (solid state relays)). Both primary and secondary network links are provided with both magnetic (copper RJ45) and fibre (SFP) interface connections. The Dante system itself provides a completely transparent redundant link system which means that if the Dark1616 lost its primary link circuit the secondary link would automatically take over with no loss of audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary and secondary network interfaces are routed internally via a network switch.  It is possible to set this switch to work as a traditional network switch instead of the default redundant mode.  This means that there would be just one link to the Dante network, and the other connections of the switch could have other Dante or network devices connected to them. As with all Dante devices, once set up, Dark1616 units can be directly connected with each other with no external network hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front panel 4 bright LEDs indicate the status of the 2 power supplies and the primary and secondary local network links. In parallel to these 4 indicating LEDs there are 4 solid state relay outputs for connecting to external alarm systems for failure notification of a power supply or link fault.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable with a Dante or a Ravenna interface:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDARK1616:  Dante\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDARK1616R:  Ravenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 off AES3 audio inputs and 8 off AES3 audio outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 off Analogue audio inputs and 16 off Analogue audio outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedundant Network connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork link status GPOs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection to Dante \/ AES67 network for control and configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Ravenna version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1u 19” rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedundant Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso Available in AES67\/Ravenna Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Level:  +18dB\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Level: +18dBu\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: \u0026gt;20k Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance:  =Distortion: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0013% @ 100Hz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0022%@1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.00094% @ 10kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference to +8dBu output\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: -93dB@line up A weighted RMS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range:  111dB\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput And Output Type:  Electronically balanced (can be wired unbalanced) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital AES3 Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: flat to 22kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input And Output Level: 0dBFs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput And Output Impedance: 110 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N:  0.00018% relative\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: \u0026gt;-123dB (residual) A weighted RMS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs And Outputs:  transformer balanced\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range:  \u0026gt;141dB\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Frequency:  16-192kHz (sample rate converted to meet Dante network frequency)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Frequency:  44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 192kHz (output matched Dante network) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections:  2 x mains inputs filtered IEC, 100 to 240 VAC 47-63Hz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC Consumption: 18 Watts@230VAC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Mains Fuse:  20mm 1A anti surge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Connectors: 25 way D connectors wired to AES59\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlarm Connector: 9 way D socket\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlarm Type: solid state relay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1RU 19” 300mm deep excluding connectors\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNett Weight:  3.3kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Carton:  Rugged export quality cardboard 610x420x130mm LxDxH\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 4.8kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: 0 to +50°C (32 to 122°F)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage Temperature: -20 to +70°C (-4 to 158°F)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelative Humidity: 0 to 95% non-condensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNETWORK OPTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDANTE\/AES67 VERSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical: 2 x Neutrik Ethercons Cat6 RJ45s \u0026amp;
