Microphone Desk Stand with Dante™ Network Output

ATND8677a

A digital Ethernet Desk Stand with Dante capabilities

  • Connects directly to network via Ethernet cable – no need for expensive audio cable or soldering
  • Integrated user switch controls talk/mute in Local mode and triggers Dante-enabled devices in Remote mode
  • 3-pin XLRF-type in for quick mounting of gooseneck microphone
  • Red/green LED indicator
  • Local or remote control of mic gain, low-cut filter, LED indicator and 12V phantom power
  • Powered by network PoE
  • Scalable across Dante’s 512 bidirectional audio channels
  • UniSteep® filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
  • Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with AES67 networks, including those that utilize Livewire, RAVENNA and Q-LAN AoIP technologies
  • Increases Dante Domain Manager features, adding role-based security, cross-subnet routing, SNMP alerts and more

    The ATND8677a is a Dante-enabled microphone desk stand for use with any gooseneck microphone with a three-pin XLRM-type output connector. The desk stand is designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing, distance learning and other demanding sound pickup applications.

    The desk stand features a touch-sensitive capacitive-type user switch with integral red/green LED status indicator. In Local mode the user switch mutes and unmutes the microphone. It can be set to toggle between live and muted audio (toggle on/off), to permit live audio only while the switch is pressed (press to talk), or to mute the audio while the switch is pressed (press to mute). In Remote mode the user switch can be used to trigger functions on compatible Dante-enabled devices, such as a video camera's pan/tilt or a room’s lighting preset. While in Remote mode the desk stand's audio output is controlled remotely.

    The audio output of the ATND8677a can be routed using Audinate's Dante Controller, which is available for download at the Audinate website (www.audinate.com). The site also provides Dante routing and software instructions.

    The desk stand's heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone. The stand features a low-reflectance black finish.
