Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

 

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

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 MADI SFP module multimode

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.
