It is a dual version of the AVN-CU2 providing four mic/line inputs with a wide, adjustable gain range and four stereo headphone outputs with lockable jack sockets, suitable for operation by three or four commentators.

The featureset is as per the AVN-CU2, with the following differences. There are:

4 x On-air buttons.

4 x Cough buttons.

8 x Talkback buttons, up to 4 for each user and

As for the AVN-CU2, the illuminated Sonifex' logo acts as a power indication and illuminated LEDs indicate network clock status, AoIP Primary and AoIP Secondary link status, PoE Primary, PoE Secondary and AC power active.

The front panel houses 4 x locking mic/line inputs with +48V phantom power indication and 4 x headphone outputs on locking 6.35mm jack sockets.

There's an abundance of 4 wire connections on the rear panel: 4 x analogue line inputs on XLR sockets with latching locks, 6 x analogue line outputs on XLR plugs and an RJ45 AES3 stereo input & output.
