Televic Plixus AE-R + Dante Audio Engine With Recording - 71.98.2904

Product Overview

The Televic Plixus AE-R + Dante is a slim 19-inch rack-mountable audio engine combining on-board recording capability with built-in Dante audio networking for Plixus conference systems. It processes all audio for an audio-only Plixus delegate network while simultaneously recording floor audio and up to three language channels internally—without requiring a separate recording server or PC. The built-in Dante card integrates directly with Dante-enabled DSPs, amplifiers, and broadcast equipment on the same network. For AV integrators who need recording, Dante networking, and conference control in a single rack unit, the AE-R + Dante delivers a compact, self-contained solution for boardrooms, government chambers, and training facilities.

Product Description

The AE-R + Dante provides all the signal processing and routing required for a Plixus audio-only conference network. Connected delegate units communicate with the engine for microphone control, audio routing, and system logic—no dedicated PC is required for basic conference operation. Internal recording capacity of 8 GB supports over 100 hours of floor audio plus up to three separate language channel recordings depending on the selected bitrate, making it well-suited for multilingual government meetings and proceedings that require archival records. The Dante card enables direct audio exchange with any Dante-compatible device on the network—recorders, DSPs, mixing consoles, and broadcast systems—without analog patch bays or external audio interfaces. Unlike the base AE-R model, this variant ships with the Dante card pre-installed and factory configured.
