Glensound Vita Plus [verified] ★ Genuine & Extended
Power over Ethernet (PoE) or internal 100-240VAC mains.
: Fully compatible with any Dante network audio system and supports AES67 for broader interoperability. Operation & Customisation
For the broadcast engineer, the Vita Plus can be fully configured and monitored remotely via a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). This is a critical feature for remote production; an engineer located in a control room hundreds of miles away can adjust the commentator's gain, routing, and headphone mix in real-time, negating the need for technical staff to be physically present at the venue. glensound vita plus
The defining feature of the Vita Plus is its native support for modern AoIP protocols. It ships standard with and Ravenna compatibility, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the AoIP audio ecosystem. This ensures low-latency, high-reliability audio transport over standard IP networks, making it ideal for remote production (REMI) workflows where the commentary is sent back to a central broadcast center rather than having a full production truck on-site.
Despite its complexity, Glensound has prioritised operational simplicity. The front panel features a bright, sunlight-readable OLED screen and five rubberized buttons for menu navigation. However, the critical workflow element is the . An engineer can connect to the VITA PLUS via a standard web browser on a tablet or laptop to adjust routing, sample rates (up to 96kHz), and stream names. This headless operation means the unit can be buried in a pelican case or mounted under a desk, yet remain fully configurable wirelessly. Power over Ethernet (PoE) or internal 100-240VAC mains

The most immediately striking feature of the VITA PLUS is its construction. Unlike rack-mounted studio gear with delicate screens and plastic knobs, the VITA PLUS is encased in a custom-milled, solid aluminium chassis. This "unibody" design is not merely aesthetic; it serves a critical protective function. By eliminating seams and joints, the casing acts as a single, rigid block of metal. This makes the unit highly resistant to torsional stress (twisting) and impact, meaning it can survive being dropped, bumped on a flight case, or vibrating in a truck for hours. This is a critical feature for remote production;
The unit features large, illuminated front-panel switches for its two 4-wire circuits. Using the Glensound Config+ software, these buttons can be programmed for various operational modes: Toggle on/off. Momentary: Push-to-talk (PTT).
Staying true to Glensound’s reputation for ruggedness, the Vita Plus features a robust 1U rack-mountable chassis constructed from high-grade steel and aluminum. The front panel is laid out logically, designed for ease of use in high-pressure live environments. It retains the familiar "Glensound Blue" aesthetic but modernizes the interface with brighter, clearer OLED displays and durable mechanical buttons that provide tactile feedback—essential for commentators who need to operate the unit without looking away from the action.
