The AVIOS Analog input will not provide phantom power for your mic if needed. Is intended for mixer to network infrastructure purpose. In the Dante routing software is presented as a set of 2ch sources and can be routed anywhere you require. As the source, they work just fine, unattended once setup correctly.

Not necessarily. You can change the signal level configuration for each Dante AVIO to use the expected one, through the Dante Controller app. We had some of these devices on a old firmware which however did not support it, but when installing the latest firmware, you could change what signal level expected.

See i.e. the description on this page: https://www.thomann.de/d...og_input_adapter_2x0.htm :

Those levels, from -10dBV up to +24dBu, are to cover the various consumer/EBU/SMPTE Line level standards. Definitely not Mic levels, which are more likely to be in the -50dBu down to -70dBu range.

Any advise to pre-amp device ?

If you want to stick to your idea, just use something like this:

Sort of... but:

- no XLR out (will need adaptors from balanced jacks to xlr)
- it can work alone but for direct connection to loudspeakers
- it's designed to use a computer anyway over USB
- 9V battery is very likely not to last long for phantom power with 2 mics

If I were to do something like this, I would go this way

with something like this for the transport over CAT5

if you want more help, you'd better tell us more about your needs... Because when I read "commentators and talents" I really wonder what you're trying to do. I would certainly not setup the same solution for commentators as for talents.

Commentators need independent control over their own mix (mute, cough buttons) and they also need IFB with the production crew. Usually they also need video return for the PGM or the replays (so that that can comment on what's live) and they need to know when they are on-air or not
Talents just need good mics and an in-ear monitoring solution.

These are very different use cases.

It also depends on what audio equipments you already have.

I also wonder why you want to go for Dante. Maybe you think this is easier or will let you prevent for buying audio gear but as shown here in this thread it's not really the case.

So explain your idea, your needs and the global context (also your budget) then we can suggest different workflows and alternatives.

Would this work ? Or do I need still pre-amp between headsets and Neutrix
