DocumentDocumentManufacturers of Audio Products for AV, Installed Sound, Broadcast Radio & Broadcast TV Dante® Commentary Unit for 1 Commentator AVN-CU1 Single Dante Commentary Unit The AVN-CU1 adds to the Sonifex range of Dante commentary units with a simple to use, single microphone/headphone combinaon with a full feature set and a low price point. The headphone amplifier has five inputs: three talkback channels, programme and sidetone, each with an individual potenometer for level control. Audio output roung is controlled by illuminated pushbuons. There's an OLED display for setup and configuraon, a high impact LED bar graph for metering in daylight, individual headphone roung per audio source and downlighng to indicate status. It has redundant Primary and Secondary Dante network ports on EtherCON RJ45s as well as two SFP transceiver ports and is powered by dual PoE or a 12V DC input. Top Control Panel · Potenometers control mix levels of the five sources into the user's headphones: Sidetone, Programme, Talkback A, B and C. · Each potenometer (except for sidetone) is accompanied by an illuminated push buon which routes the mic/line input to the relevant DanteTM output (On Air, T/B A, T/B B & T/B C). The GPIO buon can be used to call for technical help, idenfy users, or for your own remote funcon. Push buons have removable caps, allowing you to change the text for your specific applicaon. · Each potenometer is accompanied by a 3posion toggle switch to route audio to the le, right or both channels of the headphone output. · A scribble pad spans all buons to allow quick and easy source or desnaon labelling. · An OLED display for configuraon and status indicaon (Clock, Link, PoE and DC). It also indicates the acve metering scale of the bar graph meter (dBFS/VU). · A rotary encoder is used to enter and navigate the menu and to make adjustments to sengs. · A curved LED bar graph meter provides a high impact audio output level indicator (User selectable VU or dBFS scale). · RGB LED downlighng under the base of the unit indicates status (e.g. ON AIR), or can simply provide decorave lighng. Network Audio and Control · Set up and control is via an internal web server. User selectable opons include: Mic preamp gain, pushbuon mode/colour and metering scale. · The AoIP audio connecon is made using either the RJ45 sockets or their associated SFP interfaces. · Ember+ is used as the communicaon protocol for data exchange between units. Dante Dante Controller is used to configure the four audio sources to be mixed to the headphone output: · PGM - The main mono programme feed. · T/B A/B/C - Three mono talkback sources. The processed mic/line input is transmied on four Dante channels: · ON AIR - Mono audio is routed when the ON AIR buon is acve. · TALKBACK - Mono audio is routed to each of the three talkback desnaons when the corresponding T/B buon is illuminated. Acvang any talkback output temporarily deacvates the on air output, which returns once the talkback is deacvated. Rear Panel · Two EtherCON RJ45s provide network connecvity and PoE power with redundancy. · Two SFP ports provide alternave redundant network connecvity. · A 4 pin XLR provides 12V DC power input. · A 15 pin D-Type provides GPIO connecvity. · Recessed reset buon and an earthing terminal. · One stereo headphone output with a dual ¼"/3.5mm socket, suitable for operaon by one commentator. · A 3 pin XLR socket providing a mic/line input with a wide, adjustable gain range and compressor/limiter. · Phantom power indicaon is provided by a 3mm red LED adjacent to the rear panel XLR socket. · A 3 pin XLR plug provides a line level direct output of the mic/line input which is acve when the ON AIR buon is acve. · A 3mm red LED indicates that the unit is powered. www.sonifex.co.uk sales@sonifex.co.uk +44 1933 650700
