Factory installed in your AMS Neve 1073OPX, the Digital I/O card adds a USB and Dante AD/DA interface with eight channels of analog-to-digital conversion for each 1073OPX preamp output, plus two channels of digital-to-analog conversion for the digital monitor return signal path. The USB connection allows the 1073OPX to be connected to a DAW running on a PC or Mac and can serve as your primary/Core Audio interface. In addition to the USB connection, primary and secondary Dante connections permit the 1073OPX to be connected to any Dante Audio-over-IP network as a Dante-enabled preamp.
