AUDAC ANI44XT Dante Network Interface - 4x4 XLR Balanced, PoE

The AUDAC ANI44XT is a professional Dante network interface that bridges analog audio signals with a Dante digital audio network. Featuring 4 balanced XLR inputs and 4 balanced XLR outputs, it enables seamless integration of analog equipment into modern IP-based audio systems. With support for PoE (Power over Ethernet) and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for primary/secondary redundancy, the ANI44XT ensures reliable, high-quality audio transmission in fixed installations, live sound, and broadcast environments.

Advantages

High-quality 24-bit audio conversion with up to 96 kHz sampling rate ensures pristine sound reproduction. The compact 1U half-rack design offers flexible mounting options including desktop, wall, or rack installation. PoE support simplifies cabling by eliminating the need for a separate power supply, while the dual network ports provide redundancy for mission-critical applications. Dante Controller software allows easy configuration and routing of audio signals.

Suitable for

• Professional audio installations in conference rooms, auditoriums, and houses of worship
• Live sound reinforcement and broadcast studios
• Integration of analog mixers, processors, or microphones into Dante networks
