Radial DiNet DAN-TX2 Dante Network Transmitter

Two Channels of Analog Audio over DanteThe DAN-TX2 is a 2-Channel analog-to-digital converter that allows you to connect any line level source to a Dante or AES67-compliant network.

Seamless network integrationThe DiNet DAN-TX2 makes it easy to transmit two channels of high quality analog audio over a Dante or AES67-compliant network. Multiple input options are provided, with Balanced XLR/TRS connectors for professional audio sources, RCA jacks for line level consumer devices, and a 3.5mm aux input for connection to laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Trim controls and pad switches are included for each channel, with a link switch to simplify control for stereo sources. The RJ45 network connection is compatible with Neutrik etherCON connector carriers to prevent accidental disconnection and protect cable terminations, and redundant powering is available for critical applications by using the included external power supply and Power over Ethernet (PoE) simultaneously. The DAN-TX2 can be mounted in 19" equipment racks with the optional SA series rackmount adaptor kit.

Features:

• Connect any line level source to a Dante network
• XLR, 1/4? TRS, RCA and 3.5mm input jacks
• 24bit/96kHz analog to digital conversion
• Handles signal levels up to +24dBu
• Compliant to AES67 specifications
• 3.5mm Input: Stereo TRS input for use with Laptops, tablets and phones. Wired in parallel with the XLR and RCA inputs.
• Pad: Engages a -18dB input pad for high output line level sources.
• Trim: Adjustable trim control to set input levels, with unity gain at 12 o’clock. Provides -10dB of cut or +10db of gain at the min/max settings.
• Stereo Link: When engaged, the Trim control on channel 1 becomes the master for stereo operation.
• SIG/Clip LEDs: Will illuminate when input signal is present or clipping is detected on each input channel.
• Sync LED: Red LED is illuminated when unit is powered. Green LED will illuminate once connected to an Ethernet network. Flashing green LED indicates that the DAN-TX2 is in master clock mode, solid green LED indicates that it is in slave mode.
• Sys LED: Red LED illuminates when power is first applied. Switches to green LED once Dante processor becomes active.
• +15V LED: Will illuminate when the DAN-TX2 is connected to the included DC power adapter. A cable lock is provided to prevent accidental power loss.
• PoE LED: Will illuminate when the DAN-TX2 is receiving power over Ethernet (PoE).
