Tascam AE-4D 4-Channel AES/EBU Input/Output Dante Converter w/ Built-In DSP Mixer

Introducing the TASCAM AE-4D: A Versatile Dante Converter
The TASCAM AE-4D is a state-of-the-art 4-Channel AES/EBU Input/Output Dante Converter equipped with a built-in DSP Mixer. This compact device offers seamless integration of AES/EBU and Dante signals, providing high fidelity sound conversion in a package half the size of a standard 1U rack. Ideal for enhancing various Dante systems, the AE-4D stands out as an essential component in both live sound and studio environments.

High-Quality Sound and Conversion Capabilities
The AE-4D ensures superior sound quality by supporting up to 96kHz/24bit audio resolution. Its ability to convert 4-channel AES/EBU input signals into 4-channel Dante output signals—and vice versa—makes it a flexible solution for integrating a wide range of digital equipment into Dante networks. Additionally, the inclusion of a sampling rate converter allows for the use of different AES/EBU sources within your Dante system, ensuring compatibility and simplifying setups.

Built for Efficiency and Ease of Use
This converter supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing installation costs. This feature is particularly beneficial in complex setups where power accessibility might be limited. The half-rack mountable size of the AE-4D also makes it an ideal choice for installations where space is at a premium, including under-desk mounts thanks to the included rack mountable angles.

Advanced Control Software for Enhanced Functionality
The AE-4D can be remotely controlled via TASCAM’s dedicated software, offering two distinct control modes to suit different user needs. TASCAM DCP CONNECT is designed for system integrators needing full access to configuration settings, while TASCAM EZ CONNECT provides end-users with an easy-to-use interface for essential controls. This flexibility ensures that users can tailor the device’s functionality to their specific requirements.

Robust Connectivity and User-Friendly Features
Equipped with robust input and output options, the AE-4D facilitates the connection of multiple devices without needing a network switch, thanks to its support for Dante daisy chaining. The device also features flexible scene presets, which can store up to 50 different settings, making it incredibly versatile for varying audio environments.
