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!

The third generation ANDIAMO is a high-end AD/DA converter from German pro audio and live sound specialists DirectOut.

Designed for professional live recording and playback systems, ANDIAMO brings the epic sound quality of the PRODIGY Series to a simplified 1U device, with a host of features making it perfect for professional touring productions - including 2 x MADI ports, 2 x Dante ethernet ports and dual power supplies for failsafe redundancy, and full integration with the powerful GlobCon control software.

 

32-channel Analogue <> MADI <> Dante Conversion

Offering simultaneous conversion of 32 audio channels from analogue to digital (and vice-versa), the latest version features newly designed AD/DA converters, network audio via Audinate's Dante protocol, and extensive remote control via Globcon.

Housed in an elegant, space-saving 1U 19” casing, the ANDIAMO can freely convert to and from MADI via two SFP ports, whilst 2 x Ethernet ports allow for connection to any Dante network.

MADI I/O via SFPs (sold separately)

DirectOut MADI SFP module multimode

The two SFP slots can be populated with any of the DirectOut MADI SFP modules (sold separately), which are available to purchase from the DirectOut Accessories section.

The following options are available:

 


Control Software

GlobCon is DirectOut's customisable software platform, offering professional users a powerful and continually evolving tool able to manage any type or size of production environment in a contemporary, flexible, ergonomic and cost-effective way.

Specifically designed to support the professional entertainment and live music industries, GlobCon provides extensive management and control for both point-to-point (e.g. MADI) and audio-networked systems (Dante, Ravenna), with access to matrix mixers, summing busses, and effects like EQ, Dynamics and Delay.

Available for both Mac and PC, globcon is a ”plug and play” solution that allows multiple users to share control of devices using a standard Ethernet infrastructure, enabling large audio networks to be monitored from multiple positions within a venue, arena or any other large-scale production.

The software is available for download from the globCon website, providing integrated control and management of any number of DirectOut devices via an Ethernet network, USB and MIDI ports.

 

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.

 

DirectOut ANDIAMO - LEGACY EVOLVED

 

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.

The two audio network ports are connected to independent NICs and can be configured to offer network redundancy – Primary/Secondary (Dante).

And 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 for 'mission-critical' applications, with hardware monitoring for PSU status and temperature.

 

 

Breakout Boxes (optional extra)

DirectOut offer a range of optional adaptor boxes available in different variants to extend the coverage of the ANDIAMO series.
