Bittree Now Shipping Patch 32A Dante Audio Patchbay

Bittree has announced it is now shipping its award-winning Patch 32A Dante audio patchbay.

Designed to streamline the integration of traditional analogue and IP network-based audio patching, the Patch32A provides an efficient and effortless ramp to instantly move 16 channels of analogue audio onto and off of Dante networks.

The Patch32A serves as a natural bridge between legacy audio equipment and IP-based systems that use Audinate's popular Dante media networking technology, including the Dante platform's recently-added AES67 and SMPTE ST-2110 interoperability. The Patch32A eliminates the complexity of analogue and Dante audio patching by minimizing cabling, conversion equipment and associated costs for broadcasters, recording studios, post-production facilities, houses of worship, performance venues, large corporate offices, higher education campuses and other professional AV environments.

The Patch32A comes in a 1.5RU desktop form factor and features TT patching connections for analogue I/O (16x16), redundant DC power inputs, external word clock I/O, network status indicators, and LED audio VU metering. 24-bit audio sampling at rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz is complemented by professional analog-to-digital conversions that maximize signal integrity and audio fidelity. The Patch32A can easily interface with Dante Virtual Soundcard, more than 1600 third-party Dante-enabled devices, and almost any analog component in the same system – from audio distribution equipment and recorders to digital audio workstations (DAWs), DSPs and mixing consoles.
