Description
Introduction
This XLR audio bridge is a Dante® transceiver. It features eight analog inputs and eight analog
outputs. It interconverts between XLR analog audio and Dante® digital audio.
The analog input adopts XLR/TRS combination port, which supports both balanced and
unbalanced audio input. Analog input supports 48V phantom power supply and 6-level
sensitivity adjustment, while analog output supports 5-level output adjustment.
This audio bridge built-in audio signal processing for gain, equalizer and delay control. It is
simple to configure and operate via the internal Web GUI or the standard Dante® Controller
software. It supports Dante® primary and backup networks, and can be backed up through
backup networks. This product can be powered by dual PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) and local
DC power supply.
