ATEN AD004E

The AD004E converts Dante inputs into 4-channel analog line outputs, integrating analog and digital audio devices into one single system through Dante AoIP media networking technology. It supports 24 bit and offers sampling rate options of 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, and 96 kHz to meet different environment needs.

The built-in DSP allows 24 presets and speaker functionality management through the PC-based app Audio Wizard / ATEN VK control system via LAN / RS-232. A DSP matrix mixer is also contained to deliver DSP mixing and routing functions, enabling users to assign Dante inputs to any of the four analog outputs.

The AD004E is AES67 compliant, elevating interoperability between different audio networking protocols and devices. Plus, the unit comes with a selectable automatic Standby Mode for energy-saving purposes, switching the AD004E to Standby Mode automatically when the signal level runs lower than -50 / -60 / -70 dBu for a selected duration (10 / 30 / 60 minutes), allowing the system to consume less power. The AD004E supports redundancy operation thanks to its PoE functionality, eliminating the need for additional cable installations. All the features come in a compact half-rack size enclosure, and consequently, less rack space is needed and installation under desks or on any flat surface is made easy.

Not only does the AD004E enhance interoperability among AoIP devices and allow for speaker management, it also realizes distributed DSP systems when working with ATEN Pro Audio models, elevating installation flexibility, reducing overall cost, and broadening applications. It is suitable for professional audio scenarios utilizing the Dante networking technology, such as boardrooms, conference rooms, and hospitality venues such as restaurants and bars.
