    On iAM1-MIX8-G, the AoIP source can be selected through the Source Select option. The iAM1-MIX8-G is set up at the Wohler factory to be used as a slave rather than a master within the Dante network. Other devices or software, such as a Dante Controller, are expected to be responsible for most device configurations and all audio routing.

    The Merging Ravenna card runs specific firmware from Merging and augmented by Wohler for use within the iAM1-MIX8-G. The card will not function correctly if the user downloads and installs firmware from any source besides Wohler. The Wohler augmentation includes the ability to support 64 channels.
