About Tascam ML-16D

With the TASCAM ML-16D, experience a professional-grade Dante-focused converter, specifically designed to integrate or extract analog audio into or out of a Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) network. This converter is a powerful and flexible solution, equipped with 2 D-Sub inputs and 2 D-Sub outputs. These can be seamlessly connected to a wide range of devices that utilize D-Sub connectors, including microphone preamplifiers, large and small format console mixers, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and euro block connector devices.

The TASCAM ML-16D is not just a converter, but an elegant solution that allows for quick and easy insertion or extraction of audio from the Dante audio stream. The Dante protocol, integral to this device, was developed to deliver uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency digital audio over a standard Ethernet network. It supports up to 1024 channels of 32b bit/192kHz audio over an existing CAT 5/6 Ethernet system.

Since its inception, Dante has been steadily adopted by an increasing number of systems integrators, particularly those specializing in AVB (Audio Video Bridging). Dante's influence extends to the live sound arena, with a multitude of hardware products from various manufacturers supporting this innovative communications protocol. Its applications span across House of Worship (HOW), institutional installations, theaters, audio for stadiums and other public facilities, and broadcast.

In essence, the TASCAM ML-16D is a versatile and robust Dante/Analog converter, making it an essential tool for any professional audio setup.
