DANTE® | AES67 INTEGRATED MICROPHONE SYSTEM
DANTE | AES67
INTEGRATED MICROPHONE SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The Audix DN4 and DN43 Dante | AES67 interfaces are at the heart
of an integrated microphone system that is the fast, trouble-free
way to stream Audix audio performance through Ethernet networks.
High-quality audio and all microphone functions — including on-o
contact closure and LED status indicators — are available through a single
CAT5 - CAT7 cable with RJ45 connections. This simple configuration eliminates
wiring errors, accelerates installation, and reduces cost. And all Audix RJ45equipped microphone gain structures are optimized for their intended
placement, providing quality audio at the DSP. The result is true
plug-and-play installation
• APPLICATIONS
• Meeting rooms
• Convention centers
• Educational facilities
• Houses of worship

ARCHITECT & ENGINEER SPECIFICATION
Installations using only Audix Dante | AES67 compatible single-element microphones
The Dante interface unit shall provide four microphone input ports with RJ45 connectors.
High- and low-pass filtering and gain adjustments of 0 dB, +8 dB, +12 dB, +15 dB, +18 dB,
+24 dB, +30 dB, and +36 dB shall be selectable for each input. The Dante interface shall
have one logic input per microphone port and two logic outputs per microphone port.
The logic, gain, and filter controls shall be accessible with a network API. The internal
analog-to-digital signal conversion shall be performed at 24-bit resolution with a sampling
frequency of 48kHz. The Dante interface unit shall receive power over the Ethernet cable
from an IEEE 802.3af compliant device or from an external +48VDC supply. The Dante
interface shall be the Audix DN4.
Installations using an Audix Dante | AES67 compatible tri-element microphone
The Dante interface unit shall provide one tri-element microphone input port and one
single-element microphone input port, both with RJ45 connectors. High- and low-pass
filtering and gain adjustments of 0 dB, +8 dB, +12 dB, +15 dB, +18 dB, +24 dB, +30 dB, and
+36 dB shall be selectable for each input. The Dante interface shall have one logic input and
two logic outputs per single-element microphone port. The logic, gain, and filter controls
shall be accessed with a network API. The internal analog-to-digital signal conversion shall
be performed at 24-bit resolution with a sampling frequency of 48kHz. The Dante interface
unit shall receive power over the Ethernet cable from an IEEE 802.3af compliant device or
from an external +48VDC supply. The Dante interface shall be the Audix DN43.
