The input is mic\/mic+48v\/line switchable, on a 3 pin XLR, with a variable gain control. As the Vita Plus can be used for on air broadcast, Glensound’s Referee compressor limiter is used to control the audio levels and prevent any clipping. The Referee compressor has been developed over many years of working with sports commentators, and provides a gently increasing compression as the input signal approaches clipping. In normal use the compressor is not active as it only starts working as clipping approaches, so normal dynamic range is maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Audio Link\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VITA PLUS is Dante network audio compatible.
