Designed for broadcast, live production, and professional AV environments, the Sonifex AVN-AIO8-T-RAV provides a cost-effective and dependable solution for transporting low-latency audio between analogue and RAVENNA/AES67 network domains.
The unit incorporates dual RJ45 1Gb/s Ethernet ports that accepts both power and data to the RAVENNA/AES67 network. These ports, designated primary and secondary, can be configured in redundant mode to provide full network redundancy where infrastructure allows. In this configuration, the unit seamlessly switches from primary to secondary, ensuring continuous audio and power in the event of a link loss or switch failure.
The ports can also operate in switched mode, enabling daisy-chaining from the secondary port (data only) to an additional unit. This can reduce cabling requirements in some installations. It should be noted that power is not passed through, and daisy-chained units require their own power supply.
An additional USB-C input is provided as an alternative DC power source where PoE is unavailable. For optimal performance, we recommend the Anker Zolo 30W Compact GaN Charger, or a similar 30W USB-C PSU, for this product. The rear panel includes a threaded hole for securing single/top locking USB-C cables, ensuring a robust and reliable DC connection. For standard USB-C cables, a cable clamp is also fitted to provide strain relief to prevent accidental disconnection.
Configuration and routing are managed via ANEMAN (Merging Technologies), offering a familiar and intuitive workflow for AV professionals and system integrators. The platform is designed for straightforward deployment, with minimal setup required beyond network configuration and level alignment.
All analog audio connections are provided via terminal block connectors, offering secure, dependable connectivity for professional audio applications. The unit is housed in a durable 1U rack-mount aluminium chassis, making it suitable for both fixed installations and mobile rack systems.
Front panel status and confidence LEDs provide clear indication of PoE status, network link, and clock synchronisation, allowing for quick diagnostics and system monitoring. A recessed front panel switch enables global 0dBFS line-up selection between +12dBu, +18dBu, and +24dBu, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional audio equipment.
Simple to deploy and highly reliable, the AVN-AIO8-T-RAV is an ideal solution for professionals requiring seamless integration between analog and RAVENNA/AES67-based networked audio systems.
The unit is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mount product constructed from aluminium. The AVN-AIORK accessory is available to allow the unit to be rack-mounted with its rear panel facing forward, providing convenient access to all connections. This alternative mounting solution is ideal for setups where frequent cable changes or connection monitoring are required.
