Overview
A powerful and flexible solution
The TASCAM ML-32D is a professional Dante-focused converter made specifically to insert or extract analog audio into or out of a Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) network using external breakout devices that utilize Sub-D format connectors.
Dante Domain Manager Dante With AES67
The ML-32D has four D-Sub inputs and four D-Sub outputs, which can easily be connected to any of the many devices that utilize D-Sub connectors such as microphone preamplifiers, large and small format console mixers, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and euro block connector devices. This simple, yet elegant, solution enables audio to be quickly and easily inserted into – or extracted from – the Dante audio stream.
Features
- Dante focused interface for connection of external audio into or out of a Dante audio network
- 32 channel analog line input and 32 analog line outputs (48k/96kHz) using eight D-Sub connectors
- Dual redundant Ethernet jacks which support both primary and secondary connections
- Dante primary and secondary connectors support redundancy
- AES67 and Ravenna compatible
- Dante Controller for flexible routing
- Up to 96kHz/24-bit quality
- Equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables level monitoring of analog input/output signals
- Reference level dip switches for selectable DBu level metering
- LED display for signal level and overload per input/output channel
- Firmware updatable via Dante port
- Equipped with D-sub 25-pin connectors as line input/output connectors
- 1U rack mount size
- Optional BO-32DE (D-sub/Euro Block breakout box) supports Euro Block connectors
- Using an optional BO-16DX/IN and BO-16DX/OUT (D-sub/XLR breakout box) supports XLR connectors
