Description
This Dante® 2CH Bluetooth Input Adapter is an audio transmitter based on the Dante® Ultimo 2×2. It converts two-channel Bluetooth audio into Dante® 2CH digital audio, then transmits the audio to the receiving end through the network (Dante®). The adapter supports both local USB-C port power supply and PoE function, making installation flexible and cable-friendly.
Note: This product requires the use of UTP connectors. Please connect using the direct interconnection method — do not cross-connect.

Operation Controls and Functions
Device Panel
| No. | Name | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DANTE (PoE) Port | Dante® digital audio output port — connect to Network Switch via RJ45 cable, supporting PD power supply (PoE). Green LINK LED: Always on after normal connection. Yellow DATA LED: Flashing when data is transmitting. |
| 2 | PAIR Button | Bluetooth pairing button: Short press: Start Bluetooth pairing. Long press (up to 5s): Clear the current paired device and start a new Bluetooth pairing. Note: Button operations are only available when "Bluetooth discoverable" is set to "on" (default). If set to "off" via API command or PC tool, this button will be non-functional. |
| 3 | STATUS LED (Green) | Bluetooth pairing indicator: Solid on: Bluetooth is paired. Flashing at 2Hz: Bluetooth is pairing. Flashing at 1Hz: Bluetooth is not paired. |
| 4 | RESET Button | Press to reboot the unit. Device settings reset must be performed via API command or Dante® Controller. |
| 5 | POWER Port (USB-C) | Dual-function USB-C port: (1) USB-C 5V/500mA power input. (2) Firmware or Bluetooth update port. Send command set bt update to switch to Bluetooth update mode. Reboot after update to apply changes.
