This optional hardware card card enables monitoring from a 64 channel Dante™ Input. It ships with an activation key and is plug and play. It Includes an AoIP card enabling primary and secondary RJ-45 for hitless/2022-7 support (for Dante, Ravenna and 2110-30 signals). Also included is an optical TOSLINK input and a Gigabit SFP cage allowing multi-mode and single mode network SFP’s for AoIP Signals.

When Legend meets future. The 1073OPX Optional Digital card provides a USB and Dante AD/DA interface with eight channels of analogue to digital conversion for each 1073OPX preamp output and two channels of Digital to Analogue conversion for the digital monitor return signal path. The USB connection allows the 1073OPX to be connected to a DAW enabled PC/MAC computer to be used as a Primary/Core audio interface. In addition to the USB connection, Primary and Secondary Dante connections allow for the 1073OPX to be connected to any Dante Audio-Over-Ip network as a Dante enabled preamp. The Digital card can be retrofitted easily to any existing 1073OPX unit.

Installing a Wohler unit with the Dante hardware option into an existing and functioning Dante network is virtually plug and play. The rear panel AoIP jack supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Dante Audio over IP network configurations. Channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘AoIP’ in the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is installed. The iAM-series unit is set up at the Wohler factory to be used as a slave rather than a master within the Dante network. Other devices or software, such as a Dante Controller, are expected to be responsible for most device configurations and all audio routing.
