ML-32D
32-channel Analog/Dante Converter
A powerful and flexible solution The TASCAM ML-32D is a professional Dante-focused converter made specifically to insert or extract analog audio into or out of a Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) network using external breakout devices that utilize Sub-D format connectors.
- Dante focused interface for connection of external audio into or out of a Dante audio network
- 32 channel analog line input and 32 analog line outputs (48k/96kHz) using eight D-Sub connectors
- Dante primary and secondary connectors support redundancy
- Up to 96kHz/24-bit quality
- Equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables level monitoring of analog input/output signals
- 1U rack mount size
- Power consumption : 22W
- Dimensions : 483(W)×45(H)×303.8(D)mm
- Weight : 3.5kg

Primary and Secondary Network Connections Redundancy and Security
Primary and secondary connectors enable building a redundant system with a duplex network. Should the primary network route fails the ML-32D automatically switches to the secondary network route. This highly secure system prevents interruption and introduces no noise during the switch.
Integrated Signal/Overload Indicator
The front panel is equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables monitoring of analog input/output signals. The signal indicator turns on when a signal level becomes lower than -60dBFs.
Breakout Boxes That Enable Flexible Choice of Connectors According to Purposes
ML-32D is equipped with D-sub 25-pin connectors as analog line input/output connectors, and combining with optional breakout boxes enables conversion to Euro Block and XLR.
