The Blustream DA44AU is a four input / four output Dante digital audio converter.
The BluStream DA44AU is a four-input / four-output Dante® digital audio converter. The DA44AU allows any non-Dante® audio source such as mixing consoles, amplifiers, computers and Blustream matrix/distribution products to be connected as an audio source within a Dante® network, as well as converting a Dante® signal back to an analogue audio signal.
The DA44AU supports both balanced and unbalanced audio as well as microphone line level inputs inc, 48V phantom power. The DA44AU supports AES67 RTP audio transport.
• Features 4 x analogue audio inputs that are converted to a Dante® compatible signal
• Features conversion of 4 x Dante® signals to analogue audio outputs
• Analogue audio inputs support both balanced and unbalanced audio + MIC line level signals
• MIC line level supports 48V phantom power
• Supports 44.1, 48 & 96kHz sample rates @ 24-bit
• Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 1, 2 or 5ms configurable using Dante® Controller)
• Independent input gain settings per channel
• Supports AES67 RTP audio transport
AV systems have traditionally required point-to-point physical connections between devices, resulting in cumbersome amounts of specialized, single-purpose cables that define where audio and video signals can go. Changes are labour-intensive and expensive, and noise and signal degradation are constant companions as distances grow. The result is systems that are difficult to deploy and even more difficult to adapt as demands shift.
Dante replaces all of those connections with a computer network, effortlessly sending video or hundreds of channels of audio over slender Ethernet cables with perfect digital fidelity. All connections are now managed with software, making routes fast, readable and reliable. Because all devices share the same network, signals can be sent between any devices no matter where they are located on a site, with no change to the wiring at all. Dante systems are easily expanded, exactly as one might add a printer to a network. Just connect additional devices to any available network jack and start using it.
Performance is second to none: all Dante audio is 100% lossless 24- or 32-bit, and sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz are supported. Dante AV does the same job with video, taking compressed video signals and converting them into IP packets that share the same timing and control mechanisms as Dante audio. Dante is the evolution of AV systems, converging all previous connection types into one. Dante delivers vastly superior performance while making these systems easier to use, easier to expand, and less expensive to deploy.
Founded in Melbourne, Australia, Blustream is the creation of an ambitious team of AV product managers. Utilising a wealth of experience within the consumer electronics and multi-room AV industry, we have set about delivering HDMI distribution products that offer more for the AV architect and installer, more in terms of product features and more in terms of value for money.
