PreSonus AVB D16 16x16 AVB-to-Dante Bridge

Bridge the gap between your AVB and Dante networks with the groundbreaking PreSonus AVB-D16, the first plug-and-play endpoint designed to seamlessly connect these two popular audio networking protocols. This innovative device allows you to send and receive up to 16 audio channels between AVB and Dante networks using a single, simple unit. The AVB-D16 serves as the perfect solution for connecting your StudioLive Series III AVB ecosystem to your favourite Dante-equipped products, such as the PreSonus CDL-12 constant directivity loudspeaker.

The onboard AVB networking capability means you can add Dante functionality to your StudioLive Series III mixer without the hassle of installing internal option cards. Simply connect one or more AVB-D16 bridges to your existing StudioLive Series III AVB network, and each bridge will provide 16 channels of Dante I/O. From both Audinate’s Dante Control software and UC Surface or your StudioLive Series III console touchscreen, the AVB-D16 appears as a straightforward 16x16 network device, making it easy to patch audio sources and manage your expanded network setup.

Built-in Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion ensures precision clock isolation between your AVB and Dante networks, guaranteeing pristine, clear audio without dropouts or artefacts. This advanced feature also allows you to operate different sample rates on each network – you can confidently connect streams between a Dante network running at 96kHz and your StudioLive Series III AVB network operating at 48kHz, knowing the audio will remain clean and error-free throughout the signal chain.
