Vancouver, BC - Radial Engineering is pleased to announce that the DiNET DAN-TX and DAN-RX, stereo Dante audio converters, are now shipping.
Developed by Audinate, Dante is a low-latency
audio-over-Ethernet protocol utilized in professional and commercial
applications. The DAN-TX and DAN-RX provide a simple and robust solution
for sending or receiving two channels of analog audio over a digital
Dante-enabled network. The DAN-TX includes ¼", RCA, and 3.5mm inputs,
with a single Ethernet output that allows you to connect any analog
device to your Dante network. This range of connector options makes it
easy to interface with a CD/DVD player, smartphone, tablet, instrument,
or professional audio source such as a mixer or recording interface.
When used with mono instruments such as guitar, the DAN-TX provides a
thru connection for a stage amp, and includes a trim control that
provides +/-10dB of gain. Balanced signal levels up to +24dB can be
accepted without distortion, and a high pass filter and -20dB pad can be
engaged when required.
The DAN-RX is a two channel Dante receiver that allows you to
output balanced analog audio at any point on a Dante network. Dual XLR
outputs provide connection to a mixing console, amplifier or powered
speakers to route audio from FOH to the stage, or to remote rooms within
a venue with separate PA systems. A 3.5mm headphone output with level
control is also provided to test audio or monitor locally. The DAN-RX
connects to the network via a single Ethernet cable, and ground lift is
provided on the outputs to reduce buzz and hum from ground loops.
Both the DAN-RX and DAN-TX are built with rugged 14-gauge
steel construction and employ high quality 24bit / 96kHz converters for
exceptional audio performance. Power for each device can be supplied
with a 15V adaptor (included) or via Power over Ethernet (PoE), and both
power sources can be used simultaneously for redundancy.
Street: $399.99 USD each for both DAN-RX and DAN-TX
