The Magewell Pro Convert AES67 is a compact, bi-directional multi-format IP audio converter that bridges analogue audio equipment with AES67, NDI, SRT and Icecast networks simultaneously. Where many audio converters handle one protocol direction at a time, the Pro Convert AES67 operates as a complete virtual audio matrix — any input, whether analogue, AES67, USB or IP stream, can be routed and mixed to any output in real time via the browser-based interface. For broadcast facilities, houses of worship, corporate AV installations and post-production environments where AES67 is the backbone standard, this is the most direct and cost-effective way to bridge legacy analogue equipment and modern IP audio infrastructure.
Core Functions & Capabilities
- AES67 & SMPTE ST 2110-30 Support: Receives up to 4 simultaneous AES67 streams (8-channel, 24-bit each) and transmits up to 8 simultaneous AES67 streams in both multicast (IGMPv2) and unicast — fully compliant with SMPTE ST 2110-30 for integration into IP broadcast infrastructure.
- Flexible Virtual Audio Matrix: Any analogue or IP input channel can be freely routed, mixed and assigned to any analogue, AES67, NDI, SRT, Icecast or UAC output via the graphical browser-based matrix — providing a complete patchbay replacement without physical infrastructure.
- Balanced & Unbalanced Analogue I/O: Includes 3.5mm TRS unbalanced input and output alongside 4.4mm TRRRS balanced connections — compatible with professional broadcast consoles, studio equipment and consumer devices simultaneously.
- Multi-Protocol Streaming: Simultaneously encodes and transmits 4-channel 16-bit audio streams via NDI, SRT and Icecast — and receives the same protocols — enabling integration with IP production systems, streaming workflows and internet radio distribution from a single device.
- USB Audio Class (UAC) I/O: 4-channel 24-bit USB Audio Class input and output — operates as a plug-and-play USB audio device on any connected computer without drivers, enabling direct integration with DAWs, streaming software and conferencing applications.
- PTP Clock Synchronisation: Supports IEEE 1588 PTP master and slave for AES67 — maintaining sample-accurate synchronisation across multi-device broadcast installations and complex networked audio environments.
- Configurable Device Buffer: Buffer adjustable from 0.125ms to 64ms (1 to 16 packets with packet times of 0.125, 0.25, 0.333, 1 or 4ms) via the web GUI — enabling precise latency tuning for different network environments and workflow requirements.
- Studio-Grade Audio Performance: THD below 0.01% at +4dBu, SNR exceeding 100dB, dynamic range greater than 100dB and flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.5dB) — delivering professional-grade signal quality across all conversion paths.
Key Features
- PoE Powered: IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet from a standard PoE switch — single cable carries both data and power, simplifying deployment in racks, consoles and remote positions without additional mains wiring.
- Compact Form Factor: 100.9 × 60.2 × 23.3mm — identical footprint to other Pro Convert family members, mounting on a desktop, L-bracket or in a Pro Convert rack shelf alongside other devices. ¼–20 threaded mounting hole included.
- Browser-Based Web GUI & Audio Matrix: The graphical audio matrix in the web GUI displays all input and output channels with real-time level meters — enabling visual signal verification and routing changes without any software installation. Compatible with all major browsers.
- Control Hub Compatible: Registers with Magewell Control Hub for centralised management, monitoring and firmware updates across multiple Pro Convert AES67 units from a single browser interface.
- Crestron Integration: Official Crestron SIMPL+ plugin available — enabling full integration into enterprise AV control systems and building automation environments for professional installation projects.
- Rotary DIP Switch: 16-position onboard rotary switch assigns a unique device index from 0 to F — essential for multi-unit installations where multiple Pro Convert AES67 devices are deployed in the same facility.
- XLR Cables Included: Supplied with 4.4mm TRRRS to dual XLR male and dual XLR female cables — ready for immediate connection to professional balanced audio equipment without additional adapters.
- LED Status Indicators: Dedicated Power and PTP LEDs confirm device status and clock synchronisation state at a glance — on/off for power, on/blinking/off for PTP sync status.
Ideal For
- Broadcast Facilities — AES67 Infrastructure: Bridge analogue audio consoles, microphone preamps and monitoring equipment with AES67-networked broadcast infrastructure — routing signals between legacy analogue equipment and SMPTE ST 2110-30 compliant IP audio systems without a separate audio DSP or router.
- Houses of Worship — FOH to IP: Connect a FOH mixing console’s analogue outputs to an AES67 or NDI production network — passing programme audio to streaming encoders, recording systems and confidence monitors over IP without additional cabling or converters.
- Corporate AV & Conference Facilities: Bridge installed analogue audio systems with modern AV-over-IP distribution networks — routing microphone, line and programme audio to any room or endpoint on the building network over a single Ethernet connection.
- Post-Production & Recording Studios: Use the UAC interface to bring AES67 or analogue audio directly into any DAW or NLE on any computer without additional audio interfaces — and simultaneously output to AES67 destinations for studio monitoring or distribution.
- Remote & Hybrid Production: Encode programme audio as SRT for reliable transmission over the public internet to remote production locations — or receive incoming SRT or NDI audio and output to analogue or AES67 for local integration at the studio end.
- Education & Lecture Theatres: Integrate installed analogue and AES67 lecture theatre audio systems with lecture capture, streaming and hybrid learning platforms — routing audio from installed microphone systems to any IP-connected recorder or encoder on the campus network.
