Tascam ML-16D 16-Channel Analog/Dante Converter

The ML-16D has 2 D-Sub inputs and 2 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.

Key Features

• Dante focused interface for connection of external audio into or out of a Dante audio network
• 16 channel analog line input and 16 analog line outputs (48k/96kHz) using four D-Sub connectors
• 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
