AXI Dante Audio Interface Introduction

The AXI Dante^® audio expansion interfaces integrate mic/line sources onto a Dante-enabled audio system. They are connected into a Dante network over Ethernet using standard IP networking protocols, avoiding the effort and expense of pulling long analog cables back to the AV rack. With their small form factor, they can be easily mounted in tight spaces.

The AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT are quarter rack width audio interfaces for integrating mic/line sources onto a Dante-enabled audio system, and for distributing line level audio from a Dante-enabled audio system. They feature two or four mic/line inputs with selectable input gain and switchable 48 volt phantom power, controllable from the front panel. Input gain, output attenuation and phantom power can also be remotely controlled.

The AXI 22 AT D Plus is a single-gang decorator-style Dante® audio interface for integrating two mic/line sources onto a Dante-enabled audio system. It features two XLR audio inputs and switchable 48 volt phantom power for connecting and powering condenser microphones. Input gain, output attenuation and phantom power are remotely controlled. The AXI 22 AT D Plus also features two line outputs for routing any two Dante channels from the network to the analog input of a destination device, or connecting into an optional secondary wallplate with two XLR outputs.

The AXI 02 AT is a compact audio interface that extracts two channels from a Dante audio network to provide audio output from the network to devices without Dante connectivity. It features two line level analog outputs with a mirrored two-channel S/PDIF output. The AXI 02 AT includes a ZipClip® 100 Mounting Kit and is compatible with Extron Rack Shelves and ZipClip 200 mounting solutions.

Remotely Powered

For additional integration convenience, all the AXI Dante audio expansion interfaces can be remotely powered via Power over Ethernet - PoE, using Extron PI 115 power injectors or network switches equipped with PoE.
