The APB 112 IW-D : 1 DANTE IN : 12 OUT is an active, in-wall audio distribution unit designed for professional audio installations, particularly for press conferences and events. It is a press box that utilizes Dante networking technology to receive a single audio signal and distribute it to multiple outputs.

Core Functionality

• Dante Input: It has one Dante input channel via an RJ45 EtherCon connector. This allows it to receive a high-quality digital audio signal over a network.
• 12 Outputs: The unit provides 12 high-quality, balanced outputs.
• Transformer Isolation: Each output is individually transformer-isolated, which helps to eliminate ground loops and other electrical noise, ensuring clean audio for each recipient.
• Switchable Output Levels: Each of the 12 outputs can be switched between a microphone (MIC) level or a line (LINE) level, offering flexibility for connecting to various devices like recorders, cameras, or mixers.

Installation and Power

• In-Wall Design: The "IW" in its name stands for "In-Wall," indicating that it is designed to be mounted flush with a wall, providing a clean and professional appearance.
• PoE Powered: The unit is powered exclusively through Power over Ethernet (PoE). This is a significant advantage as it means only a single network cable is needed for both audio signal transmission and power.
• Expandability: Thanks to Dante's patching capabilities, you can easily expand the number of channels or outputs by adding more APB-112 IW-D units.
