The APB 216 C-D : 1 DANTE IN : 2 IN : 16 OUT is a professional, portable, and active Dante-enabled press box designed for distributing audio signals at press conferences and other events. This device prevents the need for multiple microphones, which can cause clutter and signal degradation, by allowing multiple journalists and broadcasters to connect to a single, high-quality audio feed.

 

Key Features

  • Audio Inputs and Outputs: It has two analog inputs (switchable between mic and line level) and one Dante input (via RJ45 ethercon), which can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet). It distributes these signals to 16 balanced and individually transformer-isolated outputs, which can also be switched between mic and line levels.
  • Portability and Durability: The unit is built into a durable, heavy-duty, waterproof Nanuk case, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor events. It includes a built-in rechargeable Li-Ion AccuPack battery that provides up to 20 hours of operation.
  • Audio Processing: Each analog input features a built-in compressor and limiter to help prevent signal distortion and maintain consistent audio levels. It also has a 26dB PAD and gain control for adjusting input signals.
  • User-Friendly Design: The device includes a QR code printed on the unit that links to the user manual and video guides, ensuring easy access to instructions.
  • Applications: The APB-216 C-D is ideal for a wide range of professional settings, including press conferences, media events, corporate presentations, and live broadcasts.
