2x2 XLR Audio Bridge with Dante® and PoE

This 2x2 XLR audio bridge functions as a high-performance Dante transmitter that seamlessly converts up to two analog inputs and two analog outputs to and from the digital Dante audio network standard. The hardware input interface features hybrid XLR/TRS combination ports that accept both balanced and unbalanced audio connections. To accommodate professional condenser microphones, each incoming line supports independent +48V phantom power along with a 6-level sensitivity adjustment framework.

The unit features an integrated digital signal processing (DSP) engine that equips audio engineers with comprehensive acoustic tuning capabilities. Both input and output signals can be customized using an 8-band parametric equalizer (PEQ) that provides +/-15dB gain control alongside an adjustable system delay setting of up to 50 milliseconds. Integration engineers can quickly manage these filters, tweak gain baselines, and route channels by loading the internal device Web GUI or the standard Dante Controller software platform.

Engineered for strict operational reliability, the 1U rack-mount metal chassis features dual RJ45 Dante connectors configured for hot-swappable primary and secondary network redundancy. The terminal streamlines field installation by supporting native PoE (Power over Ethernet) or local 12V DC locking power connections. Additionally, the internal circuitry contains robust ESD protection to safeguard components against unexpected air-gap or contact electrical surges.
