Dante Processor (Signal Converter) Tascam AE-4D

The Tascam AE-4D is a professional 4-channel Dante AES/EBU converter designed to integrate digital audio equipment into Dante networks. Its compact half-rack height of 1U makes it an ideal choice for mobile solutions, conference room, theater or studio installations. The device is capable of both receiving 4 channels of digital AES/EBU signal and converting them to Dante, as well as performing the reverse conversion, which allows the system to be flexibly adapted to the needs of any user.

AE-4D is equipped with a built-in DSP mixer that provides signal routing, processing and scene setup without the need for an external processor. Sample rates of up to 96 kHz and bit depths of up to 24 bits guarantee high sound quality. The XLR input connectors support AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 formats and include built-in SRC, which allows you to integrate sources with different sample rates without losing synchronization.

The device supports PoE power, which greatly simplifies installation and reduces infrastructure costs. Configuration is managed via the TASCAM DCP CONNECT (for administrators) or EZ CONNECT (for users) apps, which are compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. With 50 scenes stored in its memory, the AE-4D can easily adapt to changing environments. Integrated Dante, LAN, signal, and sample rate status indicators provide real-time visibility into the system.
