The BBR64-Dante is the result of JoeCo's collaboration with Audinate, creators of the award-winning Dante digital media networking solution. The original BBR-DANTE system was released in 2011 and was able to record up to 32 channels of audio from a Dante network. The new BBR64-DANTE now doubles that track count to 64, while still occupying just one rack unit of space.
The BBR64-Dante Recorder connects to any Dante-enabled network device from a range of console and converter manufacturers. In addition to recording 64 channels at standard sample rates, it can also record 8 channels of analogue alongside 56 channels of Dante for capturing audience and ambience. Higher sample rate recording (88.2kHz and 96kHz) is also possible at a reduced track count.
JoeCo managing director Joe Bull said, "We are delighted to be showing the new 64-channel BBR64-Dante Recorder at Frankfurt. Having successfully launched the 64-channel MADI product last year, we have been able to incorporate much of that core technology to create the BBR64-Dante - it's a completely different machine internally. Continuing support from our friends at Audinate has made this possible in a remarkably short time."
"The BBR64-Dante Recorder provides a high channel recording solution for 64 channels of networked audio," said Dave Anderson, director of sales at Audinate. "The BBR64-Dante Recorder can interoperate directly with all Dante products on the network using standard off the shelf network switches, eliminating the need for expensive audio routers."
