Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Works good if I connect the interface to a mixer and record video with an iPad?

A: It is designed to connect to Mac and Windows computers, as well as the range of iOS and Android devices. But I suppose you could use the headphone output to route audio to your mixer.

Q: 2. Can this be used for inputs and outputs at the same time? Or is it just input or just output?

A: The Shure ANI22XLR Audio Network Interface provides two inputs and two outputs, which can be active at the same time.

Q: 3. How to find this MAC address

A: The address of Dante devices such as the Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network can many times be found on the physical unit itself. Alternatively, the device and address could also be located in the Dane Controller. The article linked here provides further insight: https://bit.ly/3hr4rSI

Q: 4. Can this interface handle line level input? Like to send a mix from an analog mixer to a computer?

A: There is no line level input. Connect any standard XLR microphone or 1/4" plug for guitar, bass or keyboard to any iOS device, Mac or Windows computer for seamless audio capture

Q: 5. Can you recommend a PoE injector to use with this adapter?

A: An injector such as B&H # UBUPOEAT would be suitable to use with the Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network.

Q: 6. Does this work with Apple Silicon?

A: Yes, the RME Digiface Dante is compatible with M1/M2 Mac computers. Detailed instructions for driver installation can be found here: https://www.rme-audio.de/rme-macos.html

Q: 7. Can you use this as the main switch to connect 4 more devices to the "network"? I only have 5 machines that need Dante.

A: Yes the RME Digiface Dante can connect to 4 devices.

Q: 8. How to find mac address

Q: 9. What is the brand and model microphone and headphone included in the bundle?

A: The Kit include a Shure PGA58 Dynamic Mic with 15' XLR to XLR cable and Shure SRH240A Professional Headphones. It appears as though the configuration buttons on our website are reversed, but this is the link to the Kit: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1560690-REG/shure_motiv_mvi_digital_recording.html

Q: 10. What speakers can I connect to this and with what connector?

[2.4 lb] About the AVIO, no doubt, it makes our life easier. But, I wanna say thank to B&H, you are the best. Thanks for your help. Providing the service for us, far far away from your place. You make us to have the opportunity to get what we can not get in our country. 5

[1/3 RU wide] We recently used this in our large church building to send audio from our Dante-enabled mixer in our main auditorium to the nursery. They are about 300' apart, so pulling audio cable would have been difficult and time-consuming, but since we had network throughout the building already, this device made it simple. Plus, since it's digital audio, there's no chance for extraneous noise to be added over long cable runs. We also utilize video-over-ip, so our switches are already set up for POE and multicast with IGMP snooping, and this device works flawlessly with that configuration. Dante controller makes it easy to route audio and multicast streams, so we're able to distribute to multiple overflow locations easily and without hogging a lot of bandwidth. We plan to use these devices often in our upcoming building expansion, and it will save lots of time and money not having to pull audio cable and buy distribution amps. 5

[2.4 lb] We decided we were tired of running thousands of feet of XLR cabling and carrying hundreds of pounds of copper cabling. A few of these beauties connected to the network, running to the Dante controller and we save hours of setup and cut weight from our mobile truck. One at our interview location an one at the truck and you get two lines each way to send mics back and playback/ifb out to set. 5

[1/3 RU wide] I had to set up music for an office X-mas party that spanned 3 floors and wanted to use the same audio signal simultaneously. I had not used Dante before. I set the transmitter and receivers up at home before the gig, using the free controller software. Everything connected and worked perfectly at home, then the next day at the job. Great solution! 5

[1/3 RU wide] This thing works perfect. Hook it up to your network with POE, and it shows up in Dante Controller just like its supposed to, then works without another thought! Indicator lights by the RJ-45 are handy to be sure everything is working. Were using this with a POE injector, and there are no problems. Welcome to the future! 5

[2.4 lb] The AVIO works just like you would imagine. Plug into the network, assign what you want in Dante Controller, and presto. Really terrific tool to have whether you need to add a last minute speaker or just working on a quick project and only need two outputs. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. 5

Craig	15/06/2024
[1/3 RU wide] Ordered new microphones but still wanted to use my older mixer. Shipped quickly, and installed even quicker. Downloaded the software and they were working within a few seconds. Going to order two more as I only ordered 2 for testing. 5

[1/3 RU wide] I am using a these (along with Dante Via) to convert a relatively inexpensive set of active speakers into Dante enabled speakers. Only con so far is that the AVIO adapter is larger than I expected, but definitely not a deal breaker. Pros include near infinite (not really, some limit) speaker runs using Ethernet cable (also must have POE); no ground loop him (digital signal); and the AVIO device can serve as a Dante clock device. 5

[2.4 lb] Super easy to connect to your existing Dante network and works as advertised: stereo line level audio for whatever you need it for via LAN. 5
