Neutrik has introduced the NA-2 DLine series of ultra-compact line I/O to Dante/Dante-to-line I/O boxes, offering breakout solutions for live sound and media production applications, including live sound, event, A/V installation and integration, location media acquisition and OB.
With a miniature form factor and rubber encased metal housing, the NA-2 DLine series devices are built to withstand the extreme demands of a wide range of live performance and media production and acquisition environments. Rugged construction and rigorous adherence to standards extends to RoHS/REACH compliance, including high levels of flame retardancy and enhanced ESD protection, enable their use in harsh climatic and electronic environmental conditions. Lockable chassis connectors are featured for both the line audio and network I/O connections.
The series comprises the NA-2O-DLine and NA-2I-DLine are respectively Dante to 2-channel line output, and 2-channel line input to Dante interfaces. The NA-2I20-DLine is a simultaneous Dante to 2-channel line output and 2-channel line input to Dante device, enabling this tiny box to feed analogue audio signals into a Dante® network while at the same time receiving a mix from another Dante source.
Dante streams are sported at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz sample rates, at 16-, 24- and 32-bit resolution, over 100 Base-TX (PoE support) Ethernet. Network connection is via an etherCON chassis with a SYS/Sync status LED indicator ring. The line I/O – on balanced XLR – offer enhanced audio performance parameters. NA-2 DLine devices are AES67 compliant, supporting use with AoIP networks including Ravenna, Q-Lan and Livewire. All three models operate in conjunction with a Power over Ethernet switch or a PoE injector (802.3 af/at; class 1).
Fixed installation is possible using various optional mounting brackets to the underside of tables and consoles, or within floor boxes, or truss mountings.
