Lectrosonics introduces DNT BOB 88 Dante Breakout Box

Lectrosonics has devised the DNT BOB 88 Dante Breakout Box for use with the company’s Aspen Dante network processor and other Dante hardware. The DNT BOB 88 is a general purpose interface designed to transmit and receive line level analogue audio signals via a Dante network, which is capable of creating a bi-directional digital snake for live productions, sending audio to a remote recording location or delivering audio to remote amplifiers and loudspeakers.

Analogue inputs are firstly converted to digital, which appear on the network as transmit channels. Audio for the analogue outputs is taken from subscriptions to transmit channels on the network from other sources. When connected to a network, each DNT BOB 88 break out box appears as a separate device in the Dante Controller software interface. The unit operates as a native Dante device with automatic device discovery and clock configuration using standard Ethernet hardware.

The DNT BOB 88 Dante Breakout Box, which is Gigabit compatible and AVB ready, features eight balanced line level analogue inputs, eight balanced line level analogue outputs, Dante primary and secondary ports, eight Dante network outputs and eight Dante network inputs.

Signal management on the Dante network is straight forward as audio delivered to input one appears as Dante transmit channel one for that device on the network, whilst input two appears as Dante transmit channel two. Any Dante device on the same network can then subscribe to the transmit channels and process or route the audio as required. In a similar manner, each receive channel can subscribe to any transmit channel on the network and the received audio will be delivered to the analogue output of the same number.
