ESI's planet 22c is an extremely compact interface box that provides 2 analog input and 2 analog output channels at pristine reference audio quality in a Dante IP audio network.
The lightweight and sturdy I/O solution is equipped with ultra high quality 24-bit/96kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. Supporting balanced line audio signals with home (-10dBV) and professional (+4dBu) signal levels, it works as an ideal interface wherever high quality audio is needed within the Dante network.
This makes planet 22c ideal to interface any analog equipment such as a traditional mixer, studio monitors or PA speakers, synthesizers or other electronic instruments and much more with the Dante world. The linear frequency response and excellent audio quality even makes planet 22c ideal for audio measurement purposes.
One of the best features is that it can be powered not only via the included 12V DC power adapter but also directly from the Ethernet cable as a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device. This is perfect when using it in a remote location.
It can also be integrated into a modern music studio when using the optional Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) software for PC or Mac.
