Dante & AES67 Compatible
Redundant Network interface
Network Remote Control & Configuration
Redundant PoE

The DARK8O provides 8 analogue outputs from a Dante/AES67 network using XLR connections. The network link is via primary and redundant copper Ethernet or SFP fibre modules. Power is on PoE or external DC.

The compact throw down box style makes the DARK8O very useful as a high quality utility output interface for your Dante or AES67 network.
