Radial Engineering hasannounced the DiNet DAN-TX and DAN-RX, stereo Dante audio converters.

The DAN-TX and DAN-RX provide a simple, robust means of sending or receiving two channels of analogue audio over a digital Dante network. The DAN-TX includes quarter-inch, RCA, and 3.5mm inputs, with a single Ethernet output that allows connection to any analogue device to a Dante network.

This range of connector options supports interfacing 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 amplifier, 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 outputs balanced analogue 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 96kHz, 24-bit converters. 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. 

Now shipping, the street price for both the DAN-RX and DAN-TX is US$399.99.
