OVERVIEW
The Glensound BEATRICE MIX32 is a high-density audio mixer for producing fixed
ratio audio mixes from/ to Dante® and AES67 audio networks. It can be fitted with a
maximum of 4 independent mixer cards each with their own redundant network
interface. Each of these mixer cards provides 32 audio inputs and 32 audio outputs
from the network with the 32 outputs being mixes derived from different sets of input
channels.
Audio limiter/ compressor circuits are also provided for each output.
The fixed ratio mixes in the Beatrice MIX32 were originally designed to allow network
audio intercom systems to generate multiple listening circuits however the high-
quality low noise digital mixers can be also be used for many other applications.
The Beatrice MIX32 can also operate in a ‘pass through’ mode where all Dante®
inputs are passed straight through to the equivalent numbered Dante® output.
A clean feed or mix-minus mode is also available. In this mode each mix has
multiple outputs. Each output contains all channels in the mix except its own input.
Being designed for 24/7 broadcast operation the Beatrice MIX32 features both
redundant power supplies and redundant network interfaces.
Dante® network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear audio
over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment
manufacturers. The Glensound Beatrice Mix32 Dante® audio interface will be
compatible with any other manufacturers Dante audio interface. Further details of
Dante® network audio can be found at www.audinate.com
