Abstract
Audio network interface devices that are configured to be used with different types of microphones, and analog or digital audio devices. There is a housing that carries at least one set of electrical connectors adapted to be electrically connected to a microphone or audio device. The microphone connector including at least one general purpose input, at least two general purpose outputs and DC power. There is a first network connector that is adapted to provide connection to a data network, and a second network connector that is adapted to provide connection to a different electronic device. A microphone phantom power source is configured to provide phantom power to a microphone that is connected to a set of electrical connectors. A processing system is configured to cause the conversion of input and output signals from/to a microphone or other audio device that is connected to a set of electrical connectors, to/from digital output signals that are provided to the first network connector. An internal power supply is configured to derive power from the data network connected via the first network connector, and provide derived power to the microphone phantom power source, DC power to a microphone connector, and the processing system.
