Lectrosonics DNT16i – 16-Input Dante Network Transport Interface Lectrosonics

The DNT16i processor provides inputs into a Dante network from analog and digital signals. Each input provides extensive signal processing and routing to any one or all of 48 automatic mixers operating at the crosspoints of an internal digital matrix in the processor. The outputs of the matrix can be assigned to a Dante transmit channel and/or routed back to an input to be further mixed with another input or matrix mix.

Features:

• 16 mic/line analog inputs with 48V phantom power and wide range gain control
• 16 DanteTM digital inputs
• 32 DanteTM digital outputs
• Supports both switched and redundant modes in DanteTM operation
• Pre-mixing signal processing on all 32 inputs (analog and digital)
• 48 independent automatic mixers with 36 inputs per mixer and channel activity detectors
• Support for multi-level mixing: mixes can be looped back and used as mixer inputs
• Extensive signal processing including filters, delay and channel linking for dynamic processing (compressors, limiters)
• Gain smoothing to prevent transient noise during instantaneous level changes
• Four test signal generators available for system setup and testing
• Extensive macro command language
• Control interfaces via USB, RS-232, Ethernet and programmable logic I/O
• Rack mount or under table mount

DNT Series processors operate as native DanteTM devices to integrate analog and digital network signals in a seamless manner. Analog audio signals are converted to digital signals that are then processed and assigned to Dante network channels. Digital signals from the Dante network are processed in the same manner as analog signals, then sent back into the Dante network or converted to analog for mic/line outputs. The result is seamless integration of analog and digital audio signals into a common network where any signal assigned to a Dante transmit channel is then available at any receiving device connected to the network.
