This is the first of a new generation of the industry standard, DARK Dante/AES67 interfaces. The DARK DAWN range of interfaces are multichannel analogue and AES input/output devices intended to be installed in a studio setting where cosmetic appearance is important.

The DARK DAWN 1616M has 16 analogue inputs, and 16 analogue outputs. The inputs are mic/line/ 48v switchable. Channel gain can be adjusted from the front panel or remotely via GlenController (Dante version) with UDP control via a separate network connection also possible.

The front LED panel is machined from a single block of aluminium with no screwheads or connectors visible. It includes 16 individual channel meters, a single hi-res meter for setting individual channel level and a 1/4” headphone socket for the monitoring of all input or output channels. Loss of network or power supply is reported by GPO.

Power is from twin multimode AC supplies at the rear of this 1u rack.
