The PreSonus AVB-D16 is a plug-and-play network bridge for AVB and Dante. The device allows you to send and receive up to 16 audio channels between AVB and Dante networks, making it a great solution to connect a StudioLive Series III AVB ecosystem to your favorite Dante-equipped products like the PreSonus CDL-12 constant directivity loudspeaker.

The built-in asynchronous sample rate conversion ensures that the AVB-D16 provides precision clock isolation between your AVB and Dante networks for clear, pristine audio with no dropouts or artifacts. You can also run different sample rates on the AVB and Dante networks, and multiple units can be used simultaneously for expanding your channel count.


The rear panel sports a single AVB etherCON connector, two Dante etherCON (Primary and Secondary) connectors, as well as the 12 VDC power input. The front panel features a reset button and indicators for power, AVB sync, and link/activity.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this work with Yeti USB Microphones?

A: The Audinate Dante AVIO 2x2 USB Type-A I/O Adapter is used to connect a computer to a Dante network. The Yeti USB microphone needs to be connected directly to a computer's USB port. You cannot connect the mic directly to the Dante adapter, but you can connect the mic to your computer and then connect your computer to the adapter and connect the setup to a Dante network.

Q: 2. Can the Dante side of the AVB-D16 operate in AES-67 mode?

A: The PreSonus AVB-D16 Network Bridge 16x16 Two-Way AVB-to-Dante does not feature an AES67 mode or purport the ability to communicate with other devices using this protocol.

Q: 3. How many audio channels over USB are supported in class compliant mode? Can one route eg 32 channels from USB to Madi and then another 32 from adat to madi?

A: USB 2.0 (44.1 to 48 kHz): 64 in/out USB 2.0 (88.2 to 96 kHz): 32 in/out USB 2.0 (176.4 to 192 kHz): 24 in/out

Q: 4. Can this convert 16 channel analog input as well as 16 channel ADAT input at the same time to Dante?

A: The high-density converter provides 16 x 16 balanced analoge TRS-I/Os and can handle pro studio levels up to +20dBu – adjustable in 1 dB steps. Optional +24 dBU I/Os and/or CV outputs are available. Combined with a temperature-compensated high-precision clock and an active jitter reduction hardware design, the 354-channel DX delivers an exceptional detailed sound. On the digital side, the multi-format device provides an optical MADI I/O with 64 I/Os. 2 x 4 ADAT ports can convert all 16 analog I/Os – even with up to 96 kHz. On top of it, the DX adds 64 x 64 channels (bi-directional transmission and port redundancy) of Dante/AES67 to an already impressive array of various I/Os – unique in this size and price range. The Pulse16DX incorporates a Word Clock I/O and a MIDI I/O for embedding signals and remote control of the unit. Many popular features from the flagship A32 have been added as well: Preset Management, Panel Lock and the sophisticated routing matrix. The PULSE16 DX provides a sophisticated internal matrix for the free routing and splitting of all 176 Ins to all 176 Outs in blocks of 8 channels. The headphone output on the front allows it to monitor every mono or stereo I/O directly on the unit.

Q: 5. Can you confirm that you can run all 24 analog outputs from the DAC at 192Khz simultaneously, and at what bit depth (24 or 32) ?

A: Yes, the MOTU 24Ao USB/AVB 72 Channel Audio Interface can run 24 analog outputs simultaneously. The analog outputs offer 32-bit trim in the DAC and are also adjustable in 1 dB increments.

Q: 6. What bit depth does the analog to digital audio converter support? 24? 16?

A: The sampling rate for digital audio on the PreSonus NSB 8.8 - 8 x 8 AVB-Networked Stage Box is specified as 48 kHz, and the ADC/DAC dynamic range is 115 dB. There is no information provided regarding the bit depth.

Q: 7. Do I need to purchase a UniFi OS console in order to configure this?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Building-to-Building Network Bridge (2-Pack) is pre configured but a UniFi Cloud Key (1.0.5 or newer) or UniFi Dream Machine (1.0.1 or newer) or a Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 would be required to run the UnFi OS console software.

Q: 8. Will this Interface work with Akai Force firmware 3.1 as USB audio interface? How many channels?

A: If this Motu interface is compatible with your computer and your Akai Force is compatible with your computer then they will both work together without any issues. USB 2.0 (44.1 to 48 kHz): 64 in/out USB 2.0 (88.2 to 96 kHz): 32 in/out USB 2.0 (176.4 to 192 kHz): 24 in/out

Q: 9. How many devices can connect to 1 adapter?

A: The Audinate Dante AVIO 2x1 Bluetooth I/O Adapter for Dante Audio Network allows a single Bluetooth source to wirelessly join a Dante network.

Q: 10. is the NSB16 compatible with StudioLive 16.4.2AI?

A: Yes, but, you need to install the PreSonus SL-AVB-MIX card into the 16.4.2ai. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1130428-REG/presonus_sl_avb_mix_avb_option_card_for.html

[1.6 lb / 0.7 kg] If you are controlling audio over a network or want to drive more than one device over a network connection Motu AVB is the most stable and reliable way to go nowadays.

[2.53 lb] I bought this for the IEM set up at my church, and this simplifies it so much. First, it's PoE so there is no need to connect power for each Earmix and also no need for daisy chain either. And this unit feels very sturdy. Easy setup and work flawlessly.

[2.53 lb] My StudioLive Series 3 setup has 4 Earmix 16m units. Power over ethernet means I can move the Earmix anywhere on the stage without worrying about the power supply's length limitations.

[2.53 lb] I bought a several of these for my church worship team. We are transitioning from floor wedges to IEMs now, and this has made the transition possible. There is a little bit of learning curve for first time users, but pretty straightforward if you are tech-savvy. The sound is loud and clear. Just need to take some time to assign the channels on your main mixer.

[1.6 lb / 0.7 kg] I received 2 NSB16.8 on a Thursday and did a live-show that same Sunday using the PreSonus StudioLive 24 III, without a single issue. I must say this is a huge improvement on the old copper snakes I have used throughout my 30+ year carrier running sound. Lightweight and sturdy. Clearest sound imaginable. No gain issues or artifact. I use the PRO AV/IT CAT6 ETHRCN 150 foot cable straight into the board and a 25-foot cable to connect the 2nd box to the first one. No AVB switch needed. Extremely fast deployment.
B&H as usual delivered on time.

[1.6 lb / 0.7 kg] This AVB switch works like as advertised and has helped us route/connect our audio rack units for our sound system.
