PreSonus AVB-D16

PreSonus AVB-D16 – 16x16 AVB-to-Dante bridge with asynchronous sample-rate conversion, precision clock isolation, and plug-and-play functionality. It provides seamless audio networking, flexible integration, and support for multiple units. On board, there is a rugged metal chassis, etherCON ports, and extensive performance functions.

PreSonus AVB-D16 is an environment for sound creation designed for connecting AVB and Dante networks. It features 16 channels of bidirectional audio transfer, compatible with StudioLive Series III ecosystems and Dante-equipped devices like CDL-12 loudspeakers. Flexible sample rates and clock isolation enable a wide range of configurations – including new features for the PreSonus ecosystem.

Networking is deeply integrated: AVB and Dante ports with link/activity indicators, support for different sample rates on each network, daisy-chaining multiple units. The bridge allows real-time audio routing without dropouts – for automatic integration of sources. It offers front-panel reset, power indicators, and advanced compatibility options.
