Radial Engineering DiNET DAN-TX2 – 2-Channel Dante Network Transmitter Radial Engineering

The 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.

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)

Seamless network integration
The 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.

DiNET DAN-TX2 Application Examples

Using the DAN-TX2 with consumer electronics
Connect CD/DVD players to the RCA inputs for easy integration with a Dante network. Engage the Link switch when using stereo sources to control both left and right inputs with the level control and pad on Channel 1.

Using the DAN-TX2 with mobile devices
A 3.5mm stereo Aux input allows you to easily connects laptops, smartphones and tablets to a networked audio system without the need for special software or equipment.

Using the DAN-TX2 for balanced professional audio
The balanced XLR/TRS inputs on the DAN-TX2 can handle signal levels up to +24dBu, allowing any balanced analog mixer, recorder or playback source to be quickly connected to a Dante network.
