Ecler BOB-04 4-Channel Dante/AES67 Digital Audio Interface

BOB-04 is a digital audio Dante/AES67(Audio Over IP) Break Out Box. It delivers 4 LINE level audio outputs, converted from 4 Dante/AES67 (Audio Over IP), received from the Ethernet digital audio LAN it is connected to. The device features PoE (Power over Ethernet), DC supply directly from PoE ready Ethernet switches. An optional 24VDC external PSU is available (sold separately). BOB-04 is a generic Dante/AES67 device that can be used in combination with EclerNet / EclerPLEX / VIDA / HALO Dante devices from Ecler, or with any other third-party Dante/AES67 devices, but it is not a native EclerNet / EclerPLEX guest unit.
