AC-DANTE-AMP-2CH: AVPro Edge’s 2Ch Dante Amplifier
The AC-DANTE-AMP-2CH is a combination 25W/RMS (@4 W, 12.5 W/RMS @ 8 W) 2-channel local audio power amplifier and Dante Audio/AES67 decoder, supporting sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz with 16-, 24-, and 32-bit word lengths encoded as either the Dante audio or AES67 format. Encrypted Dante audio information is input via the designated Dante Audio network RJ45 network port, undergoes decoding from Dante digital into analog, and outputs a speaker-level signal from a pair of secured, 2-pin terminal block connectors, plus line-level audio by way of a 5-pin terminal block connector.
Utilizing Audinate’s newest Ultimo chip, the AC-DANTE-AMP-2CH is designed to accommodate two Dante plug-and-play audio flows with very low latency and microsecond synchronization. Line-out cascades the signal to additional analog amplifiers from a single Dante endpoint. Flexible placement options are made possible by the compact, thin profile footprint.
Whether for an impromptu temporary setup or to address a last-minute project add-on, the versatile AC-DANTE-AMP-2CH is a valuable resource for integrators working with DANTE audio.

Bandwidth demand is scaling rapidly as the industry welcomes cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and high-definition video.
While applications involving 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI bandwidths are still prevalent today, a new SDI standard has entered the scene. 12G-SDI supports a data rate of roughly 12 Gb/s; it enables 4K and 8K video transmission.
In terms of planning, equipment and deployment, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI applications are straightforward. Projects that require 12G-SDI support, however—such as those incorporating professional cameras and displays, production/post systems and format converters, routers and servers—may create distance challenges you need to consider before investing in design and equipment.
Some designers use fiber cabling to achieve longer distances in 12G-SDI applications, but there are quite a few applications where coax is still the best fit.
With all these choices, designers need a way to determine how far they can run each cable type. Belden created an Estimated Transmission Distance Chart based on cable loss values for given formats as specified by SMPTE.
While this table is helpful, it’s not the be-all and end-all. Find out how to determine whether your equipment supports recommended cable distances by visiting https://www.belden.com/Blogs/Broadcast/12g-sdi-distance-challenges-to-consider-for-media-av-projects.

Why Wireless Accessories Are Essential,
by senior applications engineer, Don Boomer
Wireless mics perform much better than they did even 5 or so years ago. But in the past 10 years there have been changes to how wireless mics can operate here in the USA. That leaves us with much less available bandwidth in which to operate.
The good news is that we expect the current generation of wireless mics to be able to operate properly and reliably under most circumstances. The bad news is that we almost always need to operate them using all the best practices and tools at our disposal. And most often that means we need to use accessories that were not needed in days past.
Maybe you have a wireless system that has operated flawlessly for the past 10 years but now you are starting to have reliability problems. Today’s airwaves are not the same as those of past years.
Wireless microphone operating bandwidth 2009 to today
In many metro areas you now have only 6% of the available open space in which to tune your mics to. And if that wasn’t enough we now have interference from 5G cell phones and from LED lighting and video monitors spilling over into the precious little bandwidth we have left.
This is why accessories (directional antennas, distros and bandpass filters) have become essential. In days past the little whip antennas that came with your mic receiver probably got you up and running. But now they are most often not enough to ensure reliable operation.
Interference filters from RF Venue are one of the simplest ways of improving the performance of a wireless mic system.
