Yealink AP08 is an advanced digital signal processor (DSP) that supports 16×16 Dante channels, including 8 optimized channels with dynamic AEC, intelligent noise cancellation and echo suppression, with 4×4 analog channels and two USB 3.0 Type-B ports.

AP08 is designed for large conferences, with Dante channels: 16 input (8 AEC), 16 output; Analog: 2x RCA + 2x 3-pin input/output (20-20kHz range, input 96dB, output 98dB, phantom +48V); USB: 2x input/output (48kHz, 16/24bit). Includes 3x RJ45 Dante, MGMT RJ45 for API, RS232, +12VDC power.
Supports AI noise cancellation, reverberation suppression, acoustic adaptation, rack/wall mount (360 x 189 x 44 mm, 2.2 kg, advanced black SGCC), 0-40°C, compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms.
The Yealink AP08 is the centerpiece of any professional conference room audio system, acting as a central processing hub that connects all the audio components in the room and transforms raw signals into professional, optimized audio ready to be streamed over conference systems. If the microphone is the “ear” and the speaker is the “voice,” the AP08 is the “brain” that processes everything in between.
The processor receives audio signals from multiple inputs including Dante ceiling microphones such as the CM50, traditional analog microphones, and other audio sources, and performs a series of advanced digital processing operations in real time. These include Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), which prevents sound repetition common in conference rooms; Noise Suppression, which filters out air conditioning, equipment, and ambient noise; Automatic Gain Control (AGC), which balances the volume between speakers regardless of their distance from the microphone or the strength of their voices; and Equalization (EQ), which optimizes the sound spectrum for the clearest possible result.
The AP08 supports the professional Dante protocol for receiving and sending digital audio over Ethernet, enabling seamless integration with Dante ceiling microphones such as the Yealink CM50 and other professional AV systems that adopt the Dante architecture. It also supports multiple analog and digital audio inputs and outputs to ensure compatibility with all types of legacy and modern audio components.
The processor features an advanced management and configuration interface that allows AV engineers and IT teams to remotely adjust all audio processing parameters – including gain levels, noise isolation thresholds, echo cancellation settings, pickup zones, and audio routing paths – without having to be in the room. It supports integration with Yealink Device Management for centralized management across multiple locations.
With its compact rack-mountable design, the AP08 integrates seamlessly into a meeting room’s technical equipment cabinet alongside network switches and other distribution devices, with low power consumption and silent fanless operation.
