The DCD2020 is a Dante enabled Commentary box supporting 2+1 commentators. Network connection may be fibre or copper and it has full network redundancy. Microphone amplifier gains and many other adjustments such as phantom power and limit levels may be made on the local lockable LCD screen or remotely via the DCD2020’s web pages. In addition to the commentary box functions there is a built in Dante breakout box with six analogue inputs and eight analogue outputs. These inputs and outputs have level controls and may be assigned to commentary box functions with or without network connections, the DCD2020 may even be used as a standalone analogue unit. With 240V mains, 12 volt and PoE powering and a built in ethernet switch the DCD2020 can truly be the hub of your commentary system.

The CM-CU21 is a high quality, portable Commentator Unit. Its sturdy construction and flexibility of features make it suitable for use in a wide variety of environments.
2 Commentator positions plus a guest position, each with individual outputs; plus 2 mix outputs.
Talkback outputs selectable by the two main commentators, with built in limiter.
4 Return audio circuits that are routed to headphones along with all the commentator inputs. Any source can be individually level controlled and sent to left, right or both ears.
A wide input gain range and switchable phantom power on each commentary position allows support of a variety of microphone types including low output ribbon, headsets and high output phantom powered microphones.
Transformer balanced inputs and outputs.
User preset adjustable limiter on main mix outputs with limit activity indication.

The DIO88 is an inexpensive way to get your analogue signals into and out of the Dante network. The unit has eight XLR inputs and eight XLR outputs. It includes a secondary port for Dante Redundancy or a switch output. Both ports include network activity LEDs.
The DIO88 should be used in conjunction with Dante Controller software available from https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller .As supplied the DIO88 will appear in Dante Controller as DIO88-nnn.The inputs are labeled ‘Input 1” to ‘Input 8’, Outputs are labeled ‘Output 1’ to ‘Output 8’.
Connect the primary RJ45 to your router. If redundant operation is required connect the secondary RJ45 to the redundant network router. Alternatively the secondary RJ45 may be used as a router output for forwarding on to additional Dante equipment. This feature may be configured in Dante Controller.
When the unit is powered and after successful network connection the LEDs on the RJ45 connectors will illuminate. The right LED will be amber if you have a gigabit connection or green if operating at 100 Mbps. The left LED will blink green to show activity on the port or will be off if no link has been established.
It takes the unit some 10 seconds from application of power to be ready to operate

The Prehear D4080 is a Dante enabled version of our analogue Prehear 1020. The unit is unusual in that it is Dante equipped but is also fully functional in stand aloneanalogue mode or even both at once, particularly useful for de-rigs. The unit presents itself to the network as a ten input, two output device but also has ten analogue inputs and two analogue outputs. All inputs are selectable to either or both of the two internal speakers, line level speaker outputs and headphone socket with individual volume controls, cut buttons and signal input LEDs. The unit includes a secondary port for Dante Redundancy or a switch output. Both ports include network activity LEDs. The Prehear 4080 covers all those ‘listen’ feeds required by production. Pre-fade listen feeds of presenters, off air feeds, and all those other bits and pieces that waste talkback matrix inputs can be fed directly to these units with convenient local control. There are both primary and secondary network connections to allow for redundancy. The unit is suitable for Gigabit network operation which is highlyrecommended.

The DCU304 is a Dante enabled Commentary / Announcer unit. It has four inputs, one programme output and three talkback outputs. 
The DCU304 is a Dante enabled Commentary / Announcer unit.
The unit has four inputs, each selectable to left/right/both ears, one programme microphone output plus three ‘lazy’ talkback outputs. On pressing a talkback key the programme microphone output will be silently muted and redirected to the selected talkback output(s). The microphone also has a local line level analogue output which also mutes when a talkback key is pressed.
Network connection may be either a Neutrik ethercon or a standard RJ45 connector. A LED indicates network status.
Microphone gain is adjustable in 1dB steps from +70dB to +15dB and +5dB via the OLED display and lockable push buttons. 48 volt phantom power may also be selected.
The DCU304 may be powered PoE or via an external 12 volt power source.
The DCU304 can also be used as a cost effective Dante four wire box or as a top quality analogue or Dante mic amp.
