Introduction
The Model 5412 Audio Interface provides a simple yet high-
performance means of interfacing line-level analog signals with
applications that utilize Dante® audio-over-Ethernet media
networking technology.
Analog sources can be connected to the unit and then output
in the digital domain by way of a Dante interface. Digital
audio signals, which also arrive by way of Dante, are converted
to analog and then output as balanced line-level signals. For
application flexibility and troubleshooting a configuration choice
allows other audio signals to be selected as the sources for
the analog output channels. The Model 5412 is available in
two versions – one with 8 input and 8 output channels and the
other with 16 input and 16 output channels.
The Model 5412 is a fully professional product that offers the
audio quality, features, and reliability required by 24-hour on-air
and commercial applications. The analog inputs and analog out
-
puts use 25-pin D-subminiature connectors for easy interfacing
with balanced and unbalanced sources and destinations.
The line-level analog audio input signals are converted to 24-
bit PCM digital and then transported via a Dante interface.
Using the Dante Controller software application, digital audio
signals can be routed (subscribed) to the Model 5412 via the
Dante interface.
The Model 5412 provides three Gigabit Ethernet (“GigE”) net
-
work interfaces, two to support redundant Dante operation and
the third for accessing the management menu system. To meet
the latest interoperability standard the Model 5412’s Dante
implementation supports AES67-2018. The unit also supports
the Dante Domain Manager™ (DDM) software application. An
integrated web server allows fast and flexible monitoring and
configuration of the unit’s networking and audio performance.
Front-panel indicators, a backlit LCD display, and pushbutton
switches provide users with direct access to key operating
parameters.
The Model 5412 can be powered by 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz mains
or a source of 12 volts DC. Both can be simultaneously con
-
nected to provide redundant operation. The unit’s lightweight
enclosure mounts in one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch
rack. Industry-standard connectors are used for the analog
input, analog output, Ethernet, DC power, and AC mains
interconnections.
