HDP-AUD1616XLR

HDCVT HDP-AUD1616XLR - 16x16 XLR Audio Bridge with Dante® and PoE+

The HDCVT HDP-AUD1616XLR is a professional 16x16 audio bridge designed to integrate analog XLR audio equipment with Dante® and AES67 network infrastructures. It enables bidirectional conversion of up to sixteen analog inputs and sixteen analog outputs, allowing flexible routing within complex AV systems. The analog inputs use XLR/TRS combo connectors that support both balanced and unbalanced audio, with +48V phantom power and a 6‑level sensitivity adjustment. The analog outputs provide 5‑level output control, enabling precise level matching in diverse installations. Built-in DSP processing includes gain control, 8-band PEQ and delay management, while configuration is available through the internal Web GUI or Dante® Controller software. Redundant Dante® ports with dual PoE+ and optional 12V DC power input ensure system reliability in demanding environments. The 1U rack-mount design simplifies integration in 19-inch AV racks, making the unit ideal for corporate, institutional and commercial audio systems requiring professional analog-to-network conversion.
