Description
This Dante® 2CH Line Input Adapter is an audio transmitter based on the Dante® Ultimo 2x2 solution. It converts two-channel balanced/unbalanced analog audio into Dante® 2CH digital audio, then transmits the audio to the receiving end through the network (Dante®). Analog audio input supports 5-level sensitivity adjustment. The adapter supports local USB-C port power supply and PoE function.
Features
☆ Two-channel analog audio to Dante® 2CH digital audio
☆ Balanced/unbalanced analog audio input
☆ Dante® audio sampling rate supports 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz@24bit
☆ Dante® audio delay supports 1/2/5ms (configurable using Dante® Controller)
☆ Analog audio input supports 5-level sensitivity adjustment (+24dBu, +4dBu, 0dBu, 0dBv, -10dBv)
☆ Supports local USB-C port power supply and PoE function (Class 0 IEEE 802.3af PoE)
☆ Compact design for easy and flexible installation
