QSC Synapse D16Mio – 16-Channel Dante/AES67 Mixed I/O Interface

Product Overview

The QSC Synapse D16Mio (by Attero Tech) is a 16-channel Dante/AES67 mixed-I/O networked audio interface, providing 16 mic/line inputs and 16 balanced line outputs in one rack unit. It connects analog sources and destinations to a Dante or AES67 network for commercial audio systems.

Studio-grade preamps, switchable phantom power, and Q-SYS Extension integration make it a flexible input/output bridge for distributed installations.

Product Description

The D16Mio combines 16 channels of studio-grade microphone preamplifiers — with up to 51 dB of digitally controlled gain in 3 dB steps, switchable +48 V phantom power, and a switchable pad for professional line-level inputs — with 16 balanced line outputs offering digitally controlled attenuation from 0 to -100 dB.

Built on Dante with AES67 interoperability, it bridges analog mic and line sources and destinations into a networked audio system in a single chassis, reducing the number of separate input and output devices required.

A Q-SYS Extension allows drag-and-drop integration into a Q-SYS design. For input-only or output-only high density, see the QSC Synapse D32Mi and QSC Synapse D32o.
