The DARK88 MKII has 8 of analogue electronically balanced audio inputs on Neutrik XLRs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneously there are 8 channels of audio being received from the network by the DARK88 MKII and these incoming circuits are provided as outputs from the DARK88 MKII in analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetwork sample rates of up to 192kHz are accommodated seamlessly within the DARK88 MKII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing designed for resilient broadcast applications the DARK88 MKII features both redundant power supplies and redundant Dante network links. 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 DARK88 MKII 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, DARK88 MKII units can be directly connected with each other with no external network hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front panel, LEDs indicate the status of the 2 power supplies and the 2 network links. GPO status outputs are also provided for external indication of the power supply \u0026amp; network status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetwork connections are placed on the front panel of the DARK88 MKII in order that the network cables (or fibres) match those of a rack mounted professional network switch, making installation and tracing interconnecting cables easy. Fibre connections are via SFP slots, meaning that users can select their own preferred fibre type \u0026amp; connector style by installing their own fibre SFP modules (a selection of modules is available from Glensound if preferred).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DARK88 MKII features the Brooklyn module from Audinate which is AES67 compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable with a Dante or a Ravenna interface:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDARK 88 MkII:  Dante\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDARK 88\/R Mk II:  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 audio inputs and 8 audio outputs on XLR connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedundant CAT5 and fibre network connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 192kHz sampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection to Dante network for control and configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Panel GPO status outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to any Dante compatible unit from other manufacturers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Ravenna version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES67 Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 VDC power option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin redundant 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\u003cstrong\u003eAUDIO\u003c\/strong\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\u003eFrequency Response: \u0026gt;-0.25dB 20Hz to 22kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: \u0026gt;20k Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance:  \u0026lt;=50 Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(REF +8dBu output)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.008% @ 100Hz \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.007% @ 1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.005% @ 10kHz\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\u003eInterchannel Crosstalk: \u0026gt;109dB\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput And Output Type:  Electronically balanced (can be wired unbalanced)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork Sample Rates: 32 - 192kHz\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\u003ePower source: 2 x mains inputs filtered IEC, 100 to 240 VAC 47-63Hz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Mains Fuse: 20mm 1A anti surge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC Consumption: 16 watts@230VAC\u003cbr\u003e\n\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:  8 x XLRM and 8 x XLRF\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 442 x 303 x 44mm (wxdxh) 1U rack mounting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanics: All aluminium construction, anodised and laser etched front \u0026amp;
