Seamlessly connect legacy CobraNet audio networks with modern Dante/AES67 environments. This professional 8x8 bidirectional Audio-over-IP (AoIP) gateway features direct hardware Word Clock slaving, locking the Dante network directly to the CobraNet master clock. By eliminating asynchronous sample rate conversion (ASRC), it delivers zero-resampling audio purity, sample-accurate phase synchronization, and ultra-low deterministic latency. An essential, plug-and-play bridging solution for broadcast centers, stadiums, and enterprise pro-AV installations looking to expand without replacing existing DSP matrix units.

Key Features / 5 Bullet Points

• 8x8 Bidirectional AoIP Bridging

  Simultaneously converts 8 channels from CobraNet to Dante and 8 channels from Dante to CobraNet, enabling effortless, transparent communication between legacy racks and modern Dante consoles.

• Direct Hardware Word Clock Synchronization

  Uses CobraNet’s master clock output to directly drive the Dante module via hardware Word Clock slaving. Eliminates clock drift, pops, and clicks without needing lossy sample rate conversion.

• Pure Audio Quality & Ultra-Low Latency

  By bypassing ASRC processing, signal paths remain 100% bit-perfect with zero sample-rate interpolation artifacts, ensuring pristine 24-bit/48kHz audio quality with minimal deterministic latency.

• Preserve Legacy DSP Investments

  Cost-effectively upgrade legacy CobraNet DSP units (such as Biamp AudiaFlex, Peavey NION, or CobraNet power amplifiers) to support modern Dante and AES67 endpoints without tearing out existing infrastructure.

• AES67 & Dante Controller Compatibility

  Fully compatible with Dante Controller for intuitive channel routing and supports AES67 RTP audio streaming for universal interoperability with third-party AoIP networks.

  True hardware-synced 8-channel bidirectional audio bridging for professional broadcast and pro-AV networks.

  Section 2: Product Overview & Core Value

   Integrate Modern Dante Gear into Legacy CobraNet Networks

  Thousands of auditoriums, stadiums, and broadcast studios rely on robust CobraNet DSP foundations. Upgrading to modern Dante mixing consoles or wireless mic systems often presents a dilemma: replace the entire rack or find a reliable bridge.

  Our 8-Channel CobraNet to Dante Gateway provides the ideal, high-reliability bridge. Featuring a hardware-locked clocking architecture, it allows legacy systems to talk directly to Dante networks in real time, protecting your original equipment investment while unlocking modern AoIP workflows.

  Section 3: Key Technical Highlights 

  1. Direct Word Clock Slaving

  Instead of relying on lossy software conversion or asynchronous resampling, the internal Dante core locks directly onto the CobraNet hardware Word Clock reference. This guarantees sample-accurate phase alignment across both audio domains.

  2. Bit-Perfect Signal Integrity

  Without ASRC in the signal path, audio data is transferred digitally without re-quantization or sample-rate alteration. Enjoy original 24-bit studio-grade fidelity with zero added DSP color.

  3. Seamless Network Routing

  Route audio channels easily using standard Dante Controller software on the Dante network, and standard CobraNet discovery and management utilities on the CobraNet side.

  4. Heavy-Duty Industrial Reliability

  Designed for 24/7 continuous operation in mission-critical broadcast environments. Built with a rugged metal housing, high-grade power regulation, and passive cooling for silent, uninterrupted rack operation.
