Studio Technologies Model 48D Dante Bridge

Unlock Advanced Audio Networking with the Studio Technologies Model 48D Dante Bridge
The Studio Technologies Model 48D Dante Bridge is a pivotal device in modern audio systems, offering a seamless bridge between two separate Dante audio-over-Ethernet networks. This innovative unit is specifically designed to handle the complexities associated with interconnecting audio channels on independent local-area-networks that support Dante, widely recognized for its ease of use, stellar audio performance, and broad adoption across numerous audio equipment manufacturers.

Effortless Integration and High Compatibility
Featuring two separate network interfaces, the Model 48D facilitates the interconnection of audio channels from two independent networks, allowing up to four audio channels to pass in each direction. This functionality is crucial for environments where systems need to remain isolated for security or performance reasons but still require a robust exchange of audio signals. The device supports a variety of audio formats and rates, ensuring compatibility and flexibility for different broadcast and live event requirements.

Power and Configuration Made Simple
The Model 48D is designed for user-friendliness and can be powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or an external 12 volts DC source. Standard connectors streamline the physical setup, while configuration adjustments are easily made through the Dante Controller software. This software allows for precise control over network and audio parameters, making the Model 48D a versatile tool for networked audio systems.

Compact and Robust Design for Diverse Applications
With a compact "1/2-rack" 1U form factor and weighing less than two pounds, the Model 48D is ideal for both fixed installations and portable setups. Optional rack-mounting kits further enhance its versatility, allowing for secure installation in standard 19-inch rack enclosures, making it perfect for everything from mobile broadcast facilities to permanent installations in venues like stadiums and concert halls.

Sophisticated Technology Ensuring Seamless Operation
Each network interface on the Model 48D is equipped with high-performance sample rate converters to ensure that audio signals are synchronized and seamlessly integrated between different networks. This technical capability is essential when handling complex setups that involve varied equipment and signal types across a broad range of professional audio applications.
