Audinate Adds More Adapters

Audinate has announced the latest additions to its award-winning Dante AVIO lineup: the Dante AVIO Install series of adapters available in 2-channel analogue input and output versions. These adapters are designed for seamless integration into installed Dante-enabled systems, delivering reliable, high-quality audio performance tailored to the Pro AV market. The Dante AVIO Install series meets the demands of modern Pro AV installations by seamlessly integrating legacy analogue equipment and enabling new connections. With Euroblock connectors, installation-friendly mounting options, and excellent audio performance, these adapters empower installers to deploy high-quality audio systems with confidence and ease.

Key features include:

• Euroblock Terminals: Secure and streamlined for quick, reliable connections to Pro AV gear.
• Dante AVIO ClickGrid™ Mounting System: Snap multiple AVIOs together for organized installations.
• Mounting Bracket: Flexible and clean mounting options, adaptable to under-table, shelf, or rack installations.
• Superior Audio Performance: Bit-perfect audio, ultra-low latency, and sample-accurate synchronization ensure exceptional sound clarity.

The Dante AVIO Install series of adapters bridges the gap between analogue audio equipment and Dante-enabled systems, ensuring effortless interoperability, scalability, and high performance. These compact, PoE-powered devices offer sample rates of up to 96 kHz, 24-bit audio resolution, and ultra-low latency for crystal-clear sound quality.

With their versatile design, Dante AVIO Install adapters are ideal for a variety of applications:

• Meeting Rooms: Seamlessly integrate legacy analogue microphones or tabletop boundary mics by mounting AVIO adapters under conference tables or connecting them to DSPs and amplifiers installed in AV racks. Ensure crystal-clear audio and tidy cable management in Dante-enabled meeting spaces.
• Education: Enhance sound reinforcement in classrooms, lecture halls, and auditoriums by discreetly deploying AVIO adapters. Install them inside podiums to seamlessly convert gooseneck microphones and wireless mic bases to Dante, or in AV equipment closets to connect amplifiers for ceiling speakers to the Dante audio network.
• Houses of Worship: Deliver unified, high-quality sound across sanctuaries, fellowship halls, and classrooms by connecting speakers with AVIO adapters. Simplify cabling, utilize existing network infrastructure, and reduce installation costs while achieving seamless audio distribution.
• Performance Venues: Expand PA coverage to lobbies and additional zones without the need for extensive analogue cabling. Use AVIO adapters to eliminate the hassle of converting between XLR and Euroblock connectors, enabling streamlined audio connections, routing, and flexible system configurations.

As part of the trusted Dante family of networked AV solutions, all Dante AVIO adapters leverage the familiar Dante control and management platform. Configuration and audio routing are managed through Dante Controller. Installers can leverage Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director for advanced features such as monitoring and alerts, user access control, cross-subnet routing, and API integration.

“With the new Dante AVIO Install line, we’re providing a solution that not only delivers exceptional audio performance but also addresses the real-world needs of Pro AV integrators,” said Jonathan Bailey, Lead Product Manager at Audinate. “Features like Euroblock terminals and the innovative Dante AVIO ClickGrid mounting system simplify the integration of legacy analog equipment into modern Dante networks, providing both flexibility and simplicity of installation.”

The Dante AVIO Install line of 2-channel analogue input and output adapters will be available through authorized Dante AVIO distributors and resellers worldwide in May 2025.
