OVERVIEW
The NBB-020P transmits stereo audio data stream to Dante network while NBB-020A receives stereo audiodata stream from Dante network. Both NBB-020P and NBB-020A are directly powered by PoE whichmeans you don't need to find AC outlets for device deployment.
The NBB-020P accepts a wide range of analog audio signal from MIC to LINE level and it also can deliver48V phantom power to condenser microphones connected. The NBB-020A has high analog output capabilitywhich fully meets the industrial standard up to 24dBu.
DESCRIPTION
The NBB-020P/NBB-020A adopts Audinate Dante networking technology foraudio transceiving, and is very network friendly with unlimited flexibility indeployment topology. It supports up to Layer 3 of IEEE 802.3 network standard,enabling you to organize your audio network with the off-the-shelf Ethernet switches or to immediatelytransport streaming audio by taking advantage of your existing installed network facility with no hassle.Accompanied by Ethernet switches, you can flexibly expand territory of device deployment in audionetworking with NBB-020P/NBB-020A.
Audio routing among each NBB-020P/NBB-020A and all the other Dante-enabled devices is configured viacomputer with dedicated Dante Controller software which is available free from Audinate website. WithDante Virtual Soundcard software, you are even able to have your DAW software to directly record/playstereo streaming audio from NBB-020P or to NBB-020A.
The analog audio input/output interfaces of NBB-020P/NBB-020A fully meet the requirements of theprofessional audio industry. Audio is encoded (NBB-020P) / decoded (NBB-020A) with the latest anduncompressed 24-bit PCM encoder (NBB-020P) / decoder (NBB-020A) with sample rate in 44.1KHz,48KHz, or 96KHz. The NBB-020A outputs are specifically buffered with amplifiers of high-rail voltagewhich can drive the lines up to 24dBu. Besides the high-level of drive capability, the output of NBB-020Acan also be attenuated to meet the narrower reception range of inputs of some semi-professional devices.Both inputs of NBB-020P accept signal of level from mic to line with individual gain and phantom powercontrol. The NBB-020P is also equipped with a clip indicator for both the inputs to warn audio techniciansof any signal overload on inputs.
The NBB-020P/NBB-020A is assembled in a sturdy metal chassis with elegant style of aluminum frontpanel. They are very slim in height which allows them to insert in a 1U space in a regular 19" mount-rack.
