It has 8 off low noise analogue line inputs and 4 off transformer balanced AES3 digital audio inputs. These inputs are transmitted on a fully redundant Dante\/ AES67 network interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn total 16 audio circuits are sent to the Dante\/ AES67 network. Eight of these circuits are always derived from the 4 x AES3 inputs, the other eight are automatically switched between the AES3 and analogue inputs. If the DARK8ADI detects valid AES3 signal on a channel then this will be routed to the network output.  If no valid AES3 is detected then the analogue input will be routed to the network output instead of the AES3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rugged design, redundant mains powering \u0026amp; redundant network facility of the unit means that it can easily be placed and left unattended wherever audio sources are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight Analogue Audio Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DARK8ADI has 8 electronically balanced analogue line level audio inputs.

Our input circuitry looks for valid AES3 data streams on the AES3 inputs.  If one is detected then the pair of audio outputs (AES3 is two audio channels) associated with that circuit will be routed to the Dante\/ AES67 output and if no valid AES3 signal is detected then the analogue input will be routed to that output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAES3 Network Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as the switched outputs, the outputs of the 4 x AES3 input circuits are always routed to 8 audio channels of the AoIP network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample Rate Converters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AES3 audio inputs are fed through sample rate converters so that they match the AoIP networks sample frequency.
