It is powered by standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af), draws just 3.59 W, and adds a Bluetooth 4.2 receiver plus built-in DSP. Integrators use it to feed analog amplifiers, recorders or local equipment from a Dante network in retail, education, corporate and hospitality installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC NIO204 Dante breakout box work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/NIO204.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC NIO204 Dante AES67 network I\/O mixing breakout box\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NIO204 receives four Dante\/AES67 channels and a Bluetooth source, mixes them through a 6-channel mixer, and delivers the result on four balanced line outputs over 3-pin Euro terminal blocks. AUDAC designed the NIO series to process audio where it is captured or delivered, so EQ, automatic gain control, noise gate, maximum volume and WaveTune settings are configured on the box itself through AUDAC Touch. Those processed signals are also available on the Dante\/AES67 network, which saves channels on the receiving devices. Power and audio share a single RJ45 connection with indicator LEDs, so no local power supply is needed at the installation point. A typical use is adding a Dante input, mixer and DSP to an analog amplifier, or providing extra physical I\/O for a TouchLink setup. The compact enclosure measures 4.25 x 1.73 x 6.50 in and weighs about 1.06 lb.
