  • 256-channel RAVENNA capacity over four RJ45 ports
  • 64-channel MADI I/O via dual BNC coaxial connectors
  • 24-bit resolution at sample rates up to 192 kHz
  • USB 3.0 host connection for high-bandwidth streaming

Portable 256-Channel Ravenna Interface

The Digiface Ravenna is a portable USB audio interface that delivers 256 channels of networked audio using RAVENNA with AES67 and ST2110-30/31 support. It connects to a host computer via USB 3.0 and includes four RJ45 ports for 128 Ravenna channels plus two BNC coaxial sockets that can carry 64-channel MADI or word clock. The unit operates on bus power or the supplied AC adapter and provides 24-bit resolution at sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz.

Suitable for Networked Broadcast and Live Work

Engineers who need a compact, bus-powered front end for RAVENNA, AES67 or ST 2110 workflows will find the four RJ45 ports and integrated MADI on BNC a complete digital I/O set. The DC-coupled 1/4" headphone output doubles as a line-level stereo mixdown, and TotalMix FX with DigiCheck gives full routing, mixing and metering without extra hardware. Builders who require analogue microphone preamps or direct instrument inputs cannot use this unit because it offers only digital and headphone outputs.

Deciding Specification 256-Channel USB 3.0 RAVENNA

The single figure that determines fit is the 256-channel capacity carried over USB 3.0 with RAVENNA, AES67 and ST 2110-30/31 compliance. If a project demands more than 256 simultaneous network channels or a different transport protocol, this interface will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need a USB 3.0 port on my computer to use the 256-channel USB audio interface?

Yes, the unit connects to the host via USB-B 3.0 for full 256-channel operation at up to 192 kHz.

Can I keep my existing MADI gear and run it alongside the 128-channel Ravenna streams?

The two BNC coaxial ports carry 64-channel MADI or word clock, giving a combined 128 channels with the four RJ45 Ravenna ports.

How do I verify the interface is passing audio correctly after setup?

Use the built-in DigiCheck metering and the 1/4" headphone output to monitor any of the 256 channels in real time.
