Description
LEGACY EVOLVED!
DirectOut's third generation ANDIAMO is a powerful, high-end 32-channel AD/DA converter based on the extremely high sonic quality of DirectOut's PRODIGY Series.
Offering simultaneous conversion of 32 audio channels from analogue to digital (and vice-versa), the latest version features newly designed AD/DA converters, multiple network-based audio options, and extensive remote control via Globcon software.
Housed in an elegant, space-saving 1U 19” casing, the ANDIAMO can freely convert to and from MADI via two SFP ports.
Optional network audio cards offer support for RAVENNA/AES67 or Dante, bringing the total channel count of the device up to 288 inputs and outputs.
AVAILABLE IN THREE VERSIONS
The DirectOut ANDIAMO is available in three different versions - analogue <> MADI, Dante or Ravenna. MADI I/O is active on all three units, although please note that MADI SFP modules are not included with any base unit Andiamo, and must be purchased separately.
- MADI <> Analogue
- RAVENNA/AES67 <> Analogue (plus optional <> MADI)
- Dante <> Analogue (plus optional <> MADI)
DirectOut LC MADI SFP modules can be purchased separately from the DirectOut Accessories section.
ANDIAMO - Quick Overview
The ANDIAMO's front panel provides status LEDs for real-time monitoring of signal condition for all analogue input and output channels.
Full remote control of the ANDIAMO can be managed remotely via Globcon remote software, using the dedicated ethernet port (labelled MGMT) on the back of the unit.
Basic functions are quickly accessible via two dedicated buttons found on the front panel, including bank routing, clock and I/O selection.
Remote control via globcon (Windows® / macOS®) offers access to the following features:
- Signal routing on a per-channel basis
- 8 Summing Busses
- Level control for input and output channels (gain and level trim)
- Redundancy management (EARS™)
Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching (EARS™)
Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching (EARS™) is DirectOut's signal monitoring and auto-switching technology, providing a reliable built-in moniutoring system for all digital inputs, and preventing interruption of the output signal.
Using DirectOut's own Buffer Loop Detection System (BLDS™) technology - or alternatively pilot tone triggering - EARS™ constantly monitors the condition of the trigger signal on the input. In the case of a failure, EARS™ switches automatically to the backup input (MADI or audio network).
EARS™ (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching™) is also available on all digital inputs.

Clocking
Selectable clock sources are word clock, MADI input, network audio or the internal clock. The current system clock is provided at the word clock output at any time.
Redundancy & Safe operation
Two MADI ports offer seamless port redundancy and switchover.
Two audio network ports are connected to independent NICs and can be configured to offer network redundancy – ST 2022-7 (RAVENNA) or Primary/Secondary (Dante).
Thanks to two phase-redundant power supplies with separate IEC inlets and AC power switches on the rear panel the device offers the highest reliability, with hardware monitoring for PSU status and temperature.
