Overview
The D800 and D800-Dante A-Net Distributors provide the link between the Dante network, input module, or console card and the Personal Mixers, providing DC power and the digital A-Net audio data stream to your Aviom Personal Mixers, utilizing standard Cat-5 cables.
The A-Net and Dante versions of the D800 also integrate additional advanced options for delivering high-channel-count audio streams to your Personal Mixers, streamlining connections between A640 and A360 Personal Mixers and transmitters used for wireless in-ear monitors.
There are two variations of the D800 product design. The orignal versions of the D800 and D800-Dante used front panel switches (labeled I/II) to control bidirectional communication when used with Aviom Personal Mixers. D800 v.2 and D800-Dante v.2 elminate the need for the bidirectional switches by automatically setting up bidirectional communication with Aviom Personal Mixers as needed. The original and v.2 versions of the product can be freely interchanged in systems designs.
Simple setup. Powerful performance.
On the most basic level, the D800 and the D800-Dante do an unglamorous but important job: get power and audio to your Personal Mixers. Setup is a breeze, with no IP addressing, routing, or switch managing to worry about, so you can get set up and start mixing in no time, without a lot of hassle.
Get more channels to your mixers
Used in conjunction with the SB4 System Bridge and Pro16 A-Net console cards (such as the Y1 A-Net Card for Yamaha®), the D800 and D800-Dante can combine up to four 16-channel A-Net streams for sending up to 64 channels directly from your digital console to your Aviom Personal Mixers. Mix channels can be individually selected for each A640 right from its user interface and for the A360 Personal Mixer by using A360 Channel Manager, allowing each musician to mix exactly the sources they need.
Connect directly to Dante
If your audio system includes a Dante™ audio network, the D800-Dante can interface directly to the network. Assign up to 64 channels from Dante to the D800-Dante for distribution to the Aviom Personal Mixers. Use the A640 Personal Mixer's Chanel Mapping feature to select a custom set of channels for each performer.
Mix channels can be individually selected for each A360 using the A360 Channel Manager software. Rear-panel DIP switches on the D800 are used to set the global stereo links for channels going to the Personal Mixers. Use the Dante Controller Mac/PC software application for channel routing.
Dante Sample Rates Up to 192kHz
With the D800-Dante, you can run your Dante network at 44.1/48kHz, 88.2/96kHz, or 176.4/192kHz. At higher sample rates, the D800-Dante converts the audio data to 48kHz for distribution to the Aviom Personal Mixers (and other A-Net devices).
Grow your system
If you need more than eight Personal Mixers, both the D800 and the D800-Dante include an A-Net Out port on the rear panel—perfect for sending the incoming digital audio stream (regardless of its original source) on to additional A-Net Distributors. Learn more about expanding your system.
Network Mix Back for wireless in-ears
If you're using A640 Personal Mixers or A360 Personal Mixers, the D800 and D800-Dante eliminate the need for running analog cables from personal mixers to the transmitter units for wireless in-ear monitors.
Extend the interface with iOS
The D800 and D800-Dante manage communication between A360 Personal Mixers and supported iOS devices, allowing users to run the A360 Display™ app alongside their A360.
