It places analog sources, microphones and amplifiers onto a Dante audio network at the point where the signal originates. Built-in mixing and DSP make it a compact interface for conference rooms, training rooms and commercial AV systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC NIO222 Dante\/AES67 network I\/O box work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/NIO222.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC NIO222 Dante AES67 PoE network I\/O mixing breakout box\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NIO222 transmits and receives four channels of Dante\/AES67 audio over a single RJ45 connection, which also powers the unit through IEEE 802.3af PoE at 3.75 W consumption. Its two 3-pin Euro terminal block inputs switch between microphone and line level, and +48 V DC phantom power can be applied for condenser microphones. Two balanced line outputs on terminal blocks feed local amplifiers or recorders, while the Bluetooth 4.2 receiver adds a wireless source for presentations or background music. AUDAC designed the NIO series to mix and process signals on the sending side, so audio goes onto the network once and saves channels downstream. Each input offers gain, automatic gain control, maximum volume, noise gate and WaveTune settings, and the outputs are fed from an 8-channel mixer with gain and maximum volume control. All configuration is handled through AUDAC Touch, and an ASCII command manual is available for third-party control integration. Typical setups include extra physical I\/O for a networked system, an analog input from a distant source, or a Dante input with mixer and DSP feeding an analog amplifier. The compact housing mounts under a desk, in a closet, on a wall, above a dropped ceiling or in a 19\" rack using AUDAC MBS1xx installation accessories such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-mbs101t-tabletop-wall-ceiling-mount-for-1-solutions-box-amp203-amp523-amp22-apg-apc-ali-atu\"\u003eMBS101T mount\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-mbs101r-rack-mount-kit-for-1-solutions-box-amp203-amp523-amp22-apg-apc-ali-atu\"\u003eMBS101R rack kit\u003c\/a\u003e.
