The AE-4D is a compact converter that mutually converts AES/EBU signals and 4-channel Dante signals. With half the size of a standard 1U rack, the AE-4D is suitable for different Dante systems as an exquisite AES/EBU input/output unit. The built-in DSP mixer enables small scale systems to fully perform with a variety of input/output models the TASCAM Dante Compact Processor Series offers. AE-4D supports up to 96kHz/24bit and uses XLR connectors for AES/EBU output.The AE-4D is a simple converter that converts 4-channel AES/EBU input signals into 4-channel Dante output signals, or 4-channel Dante input signals into 4-channel AES/EBU input signals.Often used in PA/SR and pro audio environments, digital equipment compatible with AES/EBU format can be used on Dante systems. The AE-4D also includes a sampling rate converter, which enables different AES/EBU sources to be used on a Dante system.Power supply can be provided to the unit via PoE (Power over Ethernet). No need for AC adaptors; power supply construction fees and installation costs can be reduced by using a PoE compatible network switch.Controlling effects or the matrix mixer can be easily done through the dedicated control software; depending on the amount of controls the user needs, there are two types:TASCAM DCP CONNECT, designed for system integrators/managers that handle the configuration and settings of an entire system.TASCAM EZ CONNECT, designed for end-users and allowing them to use simple controls.Main Features:4 AES/EBU input/output4 AES/EBU inputs with sampling rate converter4 Dante input/outputSupports PoE (Power over Ethernet)Up to 24bit/96kHzSupports Dante daisy chain; this allows two Dante Compact Processor models to be connected without a network switchFlexible scene preset function allows to work in different area situations (Up to 50 presets) 2 types of user control software available for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android devices:For full control: input/output routing selection, DSP/design/scene settings of the complete system, etc.For simple control: simple app design for only the necessary functions such as area volume settings, etc.Half-rack mountable sizeEquipped with indicators that show LAN/Dante connection status and sample rateEquipped with signal indicators that monitor digital input/output signalsConfigurable reference level (via remote control only)Surface rack mountable angles for installation under desks includedOptional accessories:AC adapter PS-P1220E for redundant power supply availableRack-mountable shelf AK-RS1 to install and store two Dante Compact Processor models in a 19 inch rack caseSpecifications:Formats and channels:-44.1/48kHz,16/24-bit, 4 channels-88.2/96kHz,16/24-bit, 2 channels (double speed)DATA/DATA+PoE connectors:-Connector: RJ-45-Transmission protocol: Dante-Gigabit Ethernet standard: 1000BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab)-Cables : Category 5e or faster STP cablesDIGITAL INPUT (AES/EBU) connectors:-Connector: XLR-3-31-Input impedance: 110 -Format: AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 (AES/EBU)-Supported sampling frequencies: 32 kHz – 192 kHz (Sampling rate converter is always on)DIGITAL OUTPUT (AES/EBU) connectors:-Connector: XLR-3-32-Output impedance: 110 -Format: AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 (AES/EBU)-Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHzPower: PoE class 0, TASCAM PS-P1220E AC adapter (sold separately)Power consumption: 3WDimensions: 214 x 44.45 x 136.1 mm (W x H x D, including protrusions)Weight: 795 gOperating temperature range: 0C-40CIncluded items: Installation brackets, Owner’s manual (including warranty)
