Tascam AE-4D 4-Channel AES/EBU Input/Output Dante Converter with Built-In DSP Mixer
4 AES / EBU input / output Dante converter to respond to various needs of contractor market and professional audio scene. The AE-4D is a compact converter that mutually converts AES/EBU signals and 4-channel Dante signals. With half the size of a standard 1U rack, the AE-4D is suitable for different Dante systems as an exquisite AES/EBU input/output unit. The built-in DSP mixer enables small scale systems to fully perform with a variety of input/output models the TASCAM Dante Compact Processor Series offers. AE-4D supports up to 96kHz/24bit and uses XLR connectors for AES/EBU output. 4 AES/EBU Input/Output, 4 Dante Input/Output The AE-4D is a simple converter that converts 4-channel AES/EBU input signals into 4-channel Dante output signals, or 4-channel Dante input signals into 4-channel AES/EBU input signals. Introducing a Wide Range of Digital Equipment into a Dante System Often used in PA/SR and pro audio environments, digital equipment compatible with AES/EBU format can be used on Dante systems. The AE-4D also includes a sampling rate converter, which enables different AES/EBU sources to be used on a Dante system. PoE Supported Power supply can be provided to the unit via PoE (Power over Ethernet). No need for AC adaptors; power supply construction fees and installation costs can be reduced by using a PoE compatible network switch. Remote Control via Control Software Controlling effects or the matrix mixer can be easily done through the dedicated control software; depending on the amount of controls the user needs, there are two types: TASCAM DCP CONNECT, designed for system integrators/managers that handle the configuration and settings of an entire system. TASCAM EZ CONNECT, designed for end-users and allowing them to use simple controls. Compatible with Windows / macOS / Android / iOS devices.
