The DirectOut A32pro Dante is a high-density professional audio converter and routing system that offers analog, MADI, ADAT, and Dante/AES67 connectivity in a single 1RU chassis. Supporting sample rates up to 192 kHz, it provides an exceptionally flexible solution for live sound, broadcast, recording studios, and installed audio systems that need to bridge multiple audio formats without adding unnecessary hardware.

With 32 balanced analog inputs and outputs on D-Sub25 connectors, configurable studio levels up to +20 dBu, and a powerful cross-format routing matrix, the A32pro Dante serves as both a premium audio interface and a versatile signal router.

Built around high-performance ESS converters, a temperature-compensated precision clock, and active hardware jitter reduction, the A32pro Dante delivers detailed, low-latency audio to up to 388 channels. Four multitouch TFT displays provide real-time metering for all 64 analog channels, and convenient remote control is available through the RemoteFish application via USB, MIDI, MIDI over MADI, or Dante. Dual redundant MADI SFP ports, ADAT optical connectivity, Word Clock I/O, MIDI, GPIO, integrated preset management, and front-panel headphone monitoring complete a feature set designed for demanding professional environments.

With its fanless design, compact footprint, and extensive routing capabilities, the A32pro Dante is an ideal solution for complex audio systems where flexibility, reliability, and sound quality are top priorities.
