The DAIO-168 is a 2U rackmountable input/output module for the D-Mitri digital audio platform providing 16 channels of balanced mic-level or line-level analog input and eight channels of line-level analog output on XLR connectors. The DAIO-168 includes a high-quality preamplifier and precision A/D conversion for each input channel and a software-selectable maximum output level, as well as transport of input and output channels to and from D-Mitri’s AVB-enabled Ethernet network. D-Mitri is a sophisticated digital audio platform which is the basis for a family of powerful modules aimed at providing comprehensive audio processing, matrix mixing and routing for a variety of professional audio applications, including theatrical and spectacle productions, theme parks, and active acoustics. D-Mitri systems feature an extremely flexible and highly programmable control scheme that can be customized by the user via the Python scripting. language and Open Sound Control real-time protocol (both open-source tools) to accomplish even the most complex tasks. D-Mitri modules communicate using the Ethernet/AVB standard, which provides guaranteed QoS (quality of service) and very low-latency.Selections of D-Mitri modules can be assembled to provide nearly any configuration of digital or analog inputs and outputs and channels of processing. The DAIO-168 facilitates applications requiring analog input and output connections.The DAIO-168’s analog input circuitry accepts a wide range of input signal levels, from –57 dBu to +26 dBu and exhibits 115 dB of dynamic range. Each input channel is equipped with gain and phantom-power controllable from D-Mitri’s CueStation software, plus an 18 dB pad. Full-scale analog output conversion levels can be selected in software to be +16dBu or +26dBu. -Provides 16 mic-level or line-level analog inputs and eight line-level analog outputs. -High-resolution A/D/A conversion: up to 96 kHz sample rate at 24 bits. -Accepts very wide range of input signal levels. -Software-controlled gain and phantom power for each input. -Software-selectable maximum output levels. -Integrates analog audio inputs and outputs into D-Mitri’s Ethernet/AVB network. -Additional redundant AVB port
