RDL AV-NL2 Dante Network Stereo D/A Converter
Key Features
  • Converts Dante to Stereo Analog Outputs
  • Selectable Mic- or Line-Level Outputs
  • Up to 24-Bit/96 kHz Resolution
  • Low Noise & Distortion
The RDL AV-NL2 is a Dante network stereo D/A converter designed to convert two Dante digital audio network channels to balanced stereo analog outputs for A/V technicians, system installers, and audio engineers in live stage applications, studios, and educational facilities. It accepts a Dante stream at up to 24-bit/96 kHz via an RJ45 Neutrik etherCON port, then outputs analog signal to the balanced XLR 3-pin male connectors. Each output is selectable to operate at mic or line level to accommodate a variety of mixer and recorder inputs.

Whether powered via a PoE network switch or a 24 VDC external power supply (available separately), the AV-NL2 delivers low noise, low distortion, and high headroom. LED indicators are provided for sync status as well as Ethernet link and speed. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, it boasts a durable metal enclosure for reliable toughness.

Easy Dante Interface for Webex Room Kits

By Dennis
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-08-30

I found these because I needed a more affordable Dante interface for Webex Room Kit integrations with Ceiling Conference Microphones using Dante. For Webex Room kits, they only accept Mic Level inputs so the switchable line level to mic level worked perfectly. It only needed a $11 of parts with a TRRS 4 pin Phoenix adapter and a female XLR pigtail. Works perfectly, sounds great, much cheaper than the alternative.
