AudioScience Hono AVB 4.4M Manual

DESCRIPTION

The Hono AVB 4.4M, 4.4D, 2.2M and 2.2D are AVB interface in the Hono Mini series designed for use in the professional
installed sound market. The Hono AVB 4.4M and 2.2M receive 4 channels of AVB and sends them to 4 balanced analog audio
outputs (2 on the 2.2M), while simultaneously inputting 4 channels (2 on the 2.2M) of mic/line level balanced audio and
transmitting them as 4 channels of AVB. The Hono AVB 4.4D and 2.2D receive 4 channels of AVB and sends them to 4
AES/EBU audio outputs (2 on the 2.2D), while simultaneously inputting 4 channels (2 on the 2.2D) of AES/EBU audio and
transmitting them as 4 channels of AVB. The Hono AVB Minis are perfect for applications requiring additional inputs or outputs
in an existing AVB system.

ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATION

The AVB interface shall provide microphone/line balanced analog audio inputs and line level analog audio outputs or
AES/EBU inputs and outputs on plug in terminal block connectors. 48V DC Phantom power shall be provided on each mic/line
input. Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion shall be 24bit at a 48kHz sample rate. The AVB interface shall provide
front panel meters to monitor the analog input and output signals. Four channels of input and output shall be provided on an
RJ-45 connector. The AVB interface shall be compatible with the AudioScience ASIControl software and 3
controller software for configuration and monitoring. The AVB interface shall be powered by IEEE 802.3af Power-over-
Ethernet or from an external +5VDC @ 10W power supply. The AVB interface shall be compliant with CE, FCC part 48 and
the RoHS directive. Warranty shall be 3 years.
