Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel Analog Input Adapter for Dante Audio Network

Product Overview

The Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel Analog Input Adapter converts a single balanced analog audio source into a Dante network audio stream, providing a cost-effective single-channel Dante integration point for analog sources such as wireless mic receivers, DI boxes, mixing consoles, or outboard processors. Designed for commercial AV installations where one analog endpoint needs to feed into a Dante infrastructure, this adapter supports sample rates up to 96 kHz, configurable input gain, and is fully compatible with AES67 and Dante Domain Manager.

Product Description

The AVIO 1-Channel Analog Input is well-suited to applications where a single analog source — a wireless receiver, an assistive listening transmitter, a legacy console aux send, or a stage DI — needs to feed into a Dante system without requiring a full multi-channel interface. In commercial meeting spaces and conference room deployments, it is commonly used to feed wireless handheld receivers or lectern microphones into a Dante DSP without running long analog cable runs.

Audio performance is professional: better than 100dB dynamic range and SNR, THD below 0.01% at +4dBu, and a flat 20Hz–20kHz (±0.5dB) frequency response. Maximum input level is +24dBu, with gain and attenuation configurable per Dante Controller. Input impedance is 20kΩ balanced. The compact polycarbonate enclosure is 802.3af PoE powered and auto-discovers on the Dante network immediately upon connection, appearing in Dante Controller for routing with no additional configuration software required.

Key Features

• Single Balanced XLR Input — One line-level balanced XLR input for connecting any analog mono source directly to a Dante audio network.
• Up to 96 kHz Sample Rate — Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz for high-quality analog-to-Dante conversion.
• Configurable Input Gain — Input level adjustable via Dante Controller; +24dBu maximum input level with configurable attenuation settings.
• High-Performance Analog Stage — Dynamic range >100dB, SNR >100dB, THD <0.01% at +4dBu, 20Hz–20kHz (±0.5dB) frequency response.
• PoE Powered — Single 802.3af Class 1 PoE connection provides both power and network; no additional cables or power supply required.
