ESI planet 22c

ESI planet 22c – Dante Audio Interface with 2 Inputs and 2 Outputs

The ESI planet 22c is a compact Dante audio interface that connects analogue audio equipment to a Dante-based IP audio network. With two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs, it delivers high-quality audio for professional applications, studios and audio installations.

The interface features high-quality 24-bit analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters, supporting sample rates up to 96 kHz. Its balanced analogue connections support both consumer-level −10 dBV and professional-level +4 dBu signals, making it suitable for connecting mixers, studio monitors, PA speakers, synthesizers and other electronic instruments to a Dante network.

With a linear frequency response and excellent audio quality, the planet 22c is also suitable for audio measurement applications. It can be powered via Ethernet using PoE or with the included 12 V DC power adapter. Its compact size and low weight make it suitable for installations where space is limited. For integration into a modern music studio, it can be used with the optional Dante Virtual Soundcard software for PC or Mac.
