The
AVN-DIO15
is a 4 analogue XLR input to Dante converter in the Sonifex
DIO range of Dante input/output devices. It features four balanced
analogue XLR inputs and one Neutrik etherCON connector for direct
connec�on to a Dante AoIP network.
The front panel provides a global 0dBFS line-up which can be set to +12dBu,
+18dBu or +24dBu to meet your specific requirement via the front panel
recessed toggle switch. There are also front panel LEDs to indicate network
clock status, AoIP link status and PoE power ac�ve.
It’s powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE), using a Neutrik etherCON
connector. The AVN-DIO15 uses the latest Audinate Dante chipset so is
AES67 and Dante Domain Manager compliant.

Setup
Connect the device to a PoE enabled switch using an Ethernet cable, the
device will automa�cally turn on. If the switch does not support PoE, a PoE
injector can be used to provide power.
By default the Dante IP address is obtained automa�cally, therefore the
device will automa�cally appear in Dante Controller. If your device does not
appear in Dante Controller please see the Network Troubleshoo�ng sec�on
of this manual.
A computer on the same network can configure connec�ons between the
DIO and other Dante enabled devices, using Dante Controller.
Link
Link status is indicated using the top-le� status LED. Once power has been
supplied to the unit the link status LED turns red. The link status LED turns
amber when a link is established with a link speed of 100 Mbps.
Link ac�vity is indicated using the top-right status LED which blinks when
incoming or outgoing data is sensed on the port.
