TASCAM / ML-16D

The TASCAM/ML-16D is a compact 1U converter that converts 16-channel analog line input/output signals to Dante. Dante also supports redundancy (Primary/Secondary). Analog line input and output come standard with D-sub connectors. The lineup also includes the ML-32D, which converts 32-channel analog line input/output signals to Dante, meeting a wide range of needs.
