PreSonus SL-Dante-MIX Option Card

Networking for Mixers and Loudspeakers

PreSonus has shipped the SL-Dante-MIX option card for StudioLive AI mixers ($599.95).

Sonifex AVN-GMCS Grandmaster Clock

Sync for Ravenna Networks

The new Sonifex AVN-GMCS grandmaster clock ($1,995) is used to synchronize all the nodes within a Ravenna network. Ravenna (of which AES67 is a subset) allows for the distribution of audio across a network. The AVN-GMCS uses a combination of a GPS receiver, a PLL (phase lock loop) and a specialist onboard clock device to create the precise, low-jitter clock signals required to drive the physical transceiver’s time-stamping circuitry, also providing holdover if the GPS signal is lost. The specialist onboard clock is available in three different types: TCXO (Temp controlled), OXCO (Oven controlled) and CSAC (Chip scale caesium atomic clock), which provide between 1 part per million and 0.00050 parts per million accuracy if the GPS signal should be temporarily lost. The unit has a front panel power button and dual power connectors—an IEC mains input and a 12VDC input, which allows the AVN-GMCS to be used for both studio and mobile installations.

The 37.75×46.5x 25.625-inch (HxWxD) enclosure features two 18-inch high-linearity woofers, with two Genelec proprietary high-efficiency 5-inch midrange drivers, as well as a 2-inch high-compression tweeter, mounted in a very large Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) enclosure.
