Glensound DARK8MAIR - 8 Channel Mic Amp to Dante 1U with Mains PSU

The Glensound DARK8MAIR (Microphone Analogue Input Rackmount) is an 8 channel microphone amplifier to Dante/ AES67 network audio interface, in a robust stage box/ throw down style. It has a 8 of low noise mic/line inputs which are remotely controlled by a Windows 10 app. The outputs of the microphone amplifiers are transmitted on a fully redundant Dante/ AES67 network interface.

Having 8 of low noise high quality microphone inputs makes the DARK8MAIR perfect for transporting audio circuits from a stage or a pitch side position to a mixer or other location within an audio network.

The rugged design, PoE/ Mains powering & remote control facility of the unit means that it can easily be placed and left unattended wherever audio sources are required.
