Magewell Pro Convert AES67

Magewell Pro Convert AES67: IP Audio to Analogue and AES3 Converter

The Pro Convert AES67 solves a practical problem that comes up constantly in modern audio facilities: you have an AES67 or Dante IP audio network on one side, and analogue mixing desks, amplifiers, or AES3 digital equipment on the other. This standalone converter bridges that gap cleanly, at a price point that makes deploying multiple units across a facility viable.

At £292, this is one of the most cost-effective IP audio conversion devices available from a tier-one broadcast manufacturer. It does a specific job correctly, and it does it without fuss.

What the Pro Convert AES67 Does

The unit receives AES67 audio streams over a standard IP network and converts them simultaneously to analogue line-level output and AES3 (AES/EBU) digital audio output. It also functions as a Dante audio receiver, which means it integrates directly with Dante-based ecosystems including Yamaha, Shure, QSC, and Dante-enabled mixing consoles.

You connect it to your network via a single Ethernet cable. It draws power over that same cable via PoE, so there is no separate power supply required. Configuration is done through a web browser interface on any device on the same network. No specialist software, no installed client application.

AES67 and Dante: What They Are

AES67 is an open standard for IP audio transport, published by the Audio Engineering Society. It allows high-quality, low-latency audio to travel over standard IP networks rather than dedicated audio cabling. Dante is a commercial implementation from Audinate that is widely deployed across professional AV, broadcast, and live production. The two protocols align closely at the network level, and the Pro Convert AES67 handles both. That gives it broad compatibility across modern audio environments regardless of which IP audio ecosystem a facility has standardised on.

Who Needs This Device

• Broadcast facilities running AES67 or Dante networks who need to feed legacy analogue consoles, amplifiers, or AES3 equipment
• Houses of worship upgrading to IP audio distribution while retaining existing analogue PA systems
• Live event production where IP audio infrastructure must interface with traditional analogue or AES3 gear at specific points in the signal chain
• Post-production facilities connecting IP audio routing to analogue monitoring chains or legacy outboard equipment
• OB trucks and mobile production units needing flexible, PoE-powered audio bridge points that can be positioned anywhere there is a network port

Why Standalone Matters Here

Because it is PoE powered and requires only a network connection, the Pro Convert AES67 can be placed anywhere on your network: at a stage box, behind an amplifier rack, at an analogue monitor position, or wherever running dedicated power is impractical. That flexibility is genuinely useful in touring, installed systems, and broadcast trucks.

If you need multiple units in a rack, Magewell also offers a module version for the Modator chassis. For single or small-count deployments, the standalone unit is the right and more economical choice.
