Description
The AoIP44 is an economical subrack designed to interface balanced analog audio circuits to and from a Network audio system featuring Dante. It provides 4 audio inputs to the network and also 4 audio outputs from the network on balanced 3 pin XLRs. As well as being mains powered with the standard signature backup DC powering option, the AoIP44 can be powered from an external PoE source via its network interface.
The AoIP can be used as a simple low cost audio I/O break out unit on a large Dante audio network where it can be integrated extremely easily using the Dante controller and is fully compatible with any manufacturer's Dante equipment. It can also be used in very simple audio over IP scenarios where just 4 bi-directional audio circuits are needed to be distributed across a buildings network infrastructure, in which case 2 x AoIP44 units can be used connected together across the network. The AoIP44 is equally suited for high integrity broadcast purposes, intercom, just simple paging facilities or simple distribution of non-critical audio.
Being part of the Signature Range the AoIP44 comes as standard with removable rack ears (to allow front or rear mounting in 19" racks), mounting holes to allow under desk mounting (the holes are equally suited for screwing the unit into odd places!) and an optional external DC power supply for applications requiring redundant power supplies. It is housed in an all anodized aluminium chassis.
Features:
- Simple economical Audio Over IP (AoIP) interface featuring Dante / AES67
- 4 balanced audio inputs to the network
- 4 balanced audio outputs from the network
- 19" 1RU subrack
- Subrack can be mounted with audio/ mains/ network connectors at the front or rear of the subrack
- High quality audio circuits (designed for Broadcast)
- Internal switch mode mains power supply
- Can be powered by PoE
- Back up DC power supply option
- Single Cat5 copper Ethernet interface on Neutrik Ethercon

GlenSound AoIP44 device good, DaleProAudio experience, bad.
Having 20 of these units deployed, we had one fail and I needed a quick replacement. Glensound pointed to DaleProAudio, and they had some in stock, so I ordered one. First, there was phone tag with their loss prevention department because I shipped it to my work address. Then, when it did arrive, it was not in an original Glensound box, it was just the unit and a CAT 5 cable in a small box with no packing and no power cord. The unit was crammed in diagonally and broke through the box during shipping. From some minor scratches on the unit, it seemed clear that this was a return they were pawing off on a new customer. Well, if you'd have looked a little deeper, you would have found that you have driven away a customer who directs $4M in annual technical spending by poor customer UX and sending a returned unit out as new with terrible packing and missing parts.
