Description
XILICA U0816-N Programmable 48kHz Ethernet DSP System - Fixed Architecture DSP Modules, Dante - 8 IN x 16 OUT
The XILICA U0816-N is an 8-input, 16-output fixed-install digital signal processor from Xilica’s Uno Series, equipped with integrated Dante network audio. Designed for commercial audio, venues, education, hospitality, houses of worship and integrated AV systems, it combines analogue I/O, app-configured DSP and Ethernet control in a compact 1U rack chassis.
The U0816-N provides 8 balanced mic/line inputs with individually selectable 48V phantom power and 16 balanced line outputs. Audio processing runs at 48kHz using 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion with a 40-bit floating-point DSP engine. The Dante-enabled Uno-N platform adds bi-directional network audio over gigabit Ethernet, making the U0816-N useful where analogue system processing needs to integrate with a Dante audio network.

Dante & network audio
The U0816-N is part of Xilica’s Uno-N range and includes factory-installed Dante networking. Uno-N models support bi-directional Dante audio over a 1000 Base-T RJ45 connection using CAT6 cabling, allowing the processor to exchange digital audio with compatible Dante-enabled equipment while Ethernet is also used for software control and configuration.
DSP & system processing
The Uno platform supports installed-audio processing including mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, compression and gain control, routers, room combiners, delays, remote controls, meters and onboard logic. This makes the U0816-N suitable for zoning, source routing, speaker processing, room combining and other fixed-install audio applications.

Legacy product note
The Xilica Uno U0816-N is a legacy / end-of-life model. Xilica lists the U0816-N among its discontinued products and advises that factory service, repair parts and further software or firmware development are no longer available. Xilica also states that Uno-series DSPs require Xilica Designer 4.9 or earlier for programming; Designer 4.9.1 and later no longer supports Uno processors.
Who is this for?
The U0816-N is suited to AV integrators, installers, venues, schools, churches, hospitality sites and commercial facilities that need an 8-input / 16-output fixed-install DSP with Dante network audio for system routing, processing, zoning and integration.
