This Dante 2CH Analog Audio Encoder is an audio transmitter based on the Dante Ultimo solution. It supports balanced/unbalanced audio input and 3-level gain adjustment. It encodes audio signals and transmits the audio to the receiving end through the network (Dante). It supports PoE function.
Features
☆ Analog audio input supports balanced/unbalanced audio input (unbalanced: connect to "+" and "GND")
☆ Audio sampling rate supports 44.1kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz (24bit)
☆ Dante solution supports AES67 RTP audio transmission
☆ Audio input supports 3-level gain adjustment: +18dBu, 0dBu (default) and -10dBV
☆ Supports DC 12V power supply and PoE function (IEEE 802.3af Class 0)
