Richard Thomas Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 It looks like the price cut compared to the Pix260 puts it in line with the JoeCo MADI and Dante boxes, although this has both interfaces and has an ambient clock in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Liston Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Are there any small mixers that have a MADI out to go to this thing? Otherwise the rack of MADI converters that I typically use would dwarf the footprint of this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAB414 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 What about Dante enabled mixers/control surfaces that are not of the Yamaha persuasion? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Allen & Hearth, Behringer, PreSonus, and Shure all have Dante mixer interfaces in addition to Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not aware it was already so ubiquitous. I was under the impression Dante was very new. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Liston Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I wouldn't call the Dante compatable offerings from Yamaha or PreSonus "Small," Looking at A&H iLive, none of them are small by the time you'd have to add on a stage box to get some I/O. The Behringer X32 producer is the smallest I can see with 16 press on the board. Bummer that you would then lose USB support, and that is still a sizable mixer for a cart.

Marc Wielage Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I would betcha $1000 that there will be a goodly number of Dante-compatible mixers unveiled at NAB next week. The key to me is: how many compact mixers designed for portable use will there be? I'd be surprised if there's much beyond the Yamaha 01V96, and it's still AC-operated. I would love to see a digital mixer with this same footprint that weighed less, had maybe just 2 mic pres, 8 analogue inputs, and had at least 8 faders (in four or five layers), all DC operated. Basically, a PSC Solice with Dante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Tuzo Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 While a small DC powered mixer with Dante would be a great addition, personally, I would love to see something along the lines of a compact db25->Dante converter. Something akin to the lectro BOB, but in a tighter, more ruggedized package (say, the size of a downconverter). This way, we could continue to interface our analog mixers of choice with all of this new tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickreich Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 +2 Wyatt! There is a limit to how small they can go, though. All manufacturers that support Dante use one of two OEM assembled Dante boards they buy from Audinate. The Ultimo board for 2 in - 2 out, or Brooklyn 2 board, that does anything bigger. The Brooklyn 2 board is about the size of one of those down convertors, then the manufacturer needs to mount it on a host board with their own AD/DA conversion, connectors and so on. I think the Lectro DNT BOB 88 one is about as small as is practicable at the moment. Four Audio and Atterotech in Europe have similar products, but aren't easily available outside the EU. More will come, I'm sure, but it sure would be great if Sound Devices, Lectro, or PSC made one that's ruggedised and conveniently powered for our use.

Ramsay Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Could someone explain how machine control and metadata works through Pixnet? Could I use an iPad like we do with the 788T? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Could someone explain how machine control and metadata works through Pixnet? Could I use an iPad like we do with the 788T? Thanks. PIXNet is HTTP based, so it is usable with any standard web browser. In the case of the iPad, you'd need to add a WiFi router to get access to the network.
