I recently purchased 2 x Dante AVIO Analog Input Adapters to use as part of a theatre installation. I had an existing Dante network already set up with multiple devices sending and receiving digital audio. I chose this adapter as I wanted the option of patching and controlling analog devices eg ( radio mic, analog mixing console ) on the Dante network.
This adapter was the ideal solution as it gives me the freedom to patch an analog device from anywhere in the building and then control and route the audio as I wish.
Its pretty much a plug and play device. It does require POE ( Power over Ethernet ) to function so its worth checking your network switch before purchasing.
