Digigram LX-IP Synchronous AoIP Multichannel Sound Card

The Digigram LX-IP Synchronous AoIP Multichannel Sound Card bridges professional audio software applications to the ultra-low latency, phase-accurate and high precision clock management of AES67 and RAVENNA AoIP networks

LX-IP provides the perfect gateway from mission critical applications to RAVENNA and AES67 AoIP networks. Its 64 channels, 0.5 ms latency and phase accuracy match all requirements for high density, ultra-low latency on-air or production studio workflows. Hardware-based architecture maintains performance regardless of the computational load of other applications running on the host system.
