ATND8677

THE FIRST MICROPHONE BASE FOR THE DANTE™ NETWORK

The ATND8677 is a Dante-enabled microphone desk stand for use with any gooseneck microphone with a three-pin XLRM-type output connector. The desk stand is designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing, distance learning and other demanding sound pickup applications. No longer relying on a standalone Dante audio interface, and benefitting from a switch and an indicator light, the ATND8677 connects directly to the audio network via a standard RJ-45 and a structured wiring port, ensuring high flexibility during installation and fast relocation.

• Microphone base for Dante™ system. Connects directly to the network via a standard Ethernet cable (RJ-45 Cat5 8P8C) - no need for expensive audio cable or soldering
• XLRF entry for quick and easy connection of any XLRM gooseneck microphone
• Local or remote control of low-cut UniSteep® filter, red/green LED status indicator and phantom power (P12)
• Local or remote control of gain (+ 30dB / + 40dB / + 50dB / Mute) 
• Scalable across 512 Dante™ bidirectional audio channels
• Low-cut filter to reduce low-frequency ambient noise without affecting sound reproduction
• Powered by the network (PoE - Power Over Ethernet)
• Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
• 5 years guarantee

“EASY TO IMPLEMENT, TO USE AND TO EXTEND”

Dante™ technology has become the standard in the professional audio sector. The real plug-and-play solution, Dante™ uses standard Internet protocols to deliver digital audio and control data with very low latency. The ATND8677 exploits the benefits Dante™ to provide a high-performance audio solution, easy to implement, use and extend.

“UP TO 512 BI-DIRECTIONAL AUDIO CHANNELS”

Ideally suited to boardrooms and meeting spaces, network microphones have a simple Ethernet connectivity, are inexpensive, and boast a remarkable sound quality. Dante™ can support up to 512 channels of bidirectional audio, the network microphones offer a solution that can easily be extended.

“LOCAL OR REMOTE-CONTROLLED”

Powered directly by the network cable, the ATND8677 can also be used to transmit control data in a Dante™ networking device. Its programmable switch can be used to trigger the rotation / tilt the video camera, recall the lighting presets or to control anything else on the network.
