Nixer RP64 Dante 1RU Rack Mounted 64 Channel AoIP Dante Patch Unit

Flexible Dante Audio Routing Made Easy

The Nixer RP64 Dante is a 64-channel input and 64-channel output Audio over IP patching system built for rapid and reliable signal routing across Dante networks. Housed in a 1U rack-mounted chassis, it allows any input to be routed to any output instantly through a streamlined touchscreen interface—no external software or computer required. This unit is perfect for live production, broadcast control rooms, and AV installations that demand fast response and rock-solid performance when managing Dante audio traffic.

Instant Repatching Without the Wait

With near-zero latency switching, the RP64 Dante eliminates downtime during signal changes. You don’t need to rely on Dante Controller or laptops to reroute audio—just use the onboard touchscreen to access intuitive patching directly from the unit. This fast-switching capability is a major advantage for broadcast engineers and AV operators who need to make real-time adjustments to critical signal paths without interruption.

Built for Redundant Operation in Mission-Critical Systems

The RP64 is designed for operational resilience. It features dual power inputs—Power over Ethernet on the primary RJ45 and a 24V DC barrel connector—with both capable of being active simultaneously for power redundancy. It also provides primary and secondary Dante network ports to support switched or redundant audio transport. This ensures system integrity in the event of a failure, keeping your networked audio uninterrupted.

Touchscreen Interface for Simplified Workflow

A large color LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive interface to manage routing, memory recall, and patch resets with minimal steps. This reduces the learning curve for new users and allows experienced engineers to move quickly through system configurations. With support for gestures and brightness control, the touchscreen adapts to a wide range of environments, from dimly lit racks to bright control rooms.

Remote Management and Integration Options

While the front-panel interface is powerful, the RP64 also includes control ports for integration into broader system setups. An OSC-compatible RJ45 control port (in development) allows for remote configuration, while an additional RJ45 port supports optional wired hardware controllers using RS485. This flexibility makes the unit ideal for integration into automated systems or for remote operation from central control locations.

Compact Size with Professional Connectivity

Despite its robust feature set, the RP64 is compact, measuring just 120mm deep. It fits easily into desks, flight cases, or permanent racks, and the removable rack ears provide added installation flexibility. Additional ports include a USB connector for firmware updates and standard Dante networking over dual 1Gbps RJ45 jacks. The RP64 supports multiple sample rates and bit depths for professional-grade audio routing.
