Dante 2-Channel XLR Output Adapter – Tight AV AU-X2O-DA

Plug-and-play Dante interface that converts two Dante channels to balanced analog XLR outputs

Overview
The AU-X2O-DA outputs two channels of analog line-level audio from a Dante network, supporting sampling rates up to 96 kHz. Designed for simplicity and integration, it features PoE power and dual XLR male connectors for connecting to amplifiers, mixers, or other analog equipment.

Description
This adapter sits at the edge of a Dante network and provides two balanced analog outputs via standard XLR male connectors. It supports 24-bit audio, Dante and AES67 protocols, and latency that is configurable at 1 ms, 2 ms, or 5 ms. The device is powered via 802.3af PoE and has a maximum power consumption of around 2.6 W. Its operational temperature range is −5 °C to +55 °C. The unit’s dimensions are compact at 30 × 28 × 114 mm, and it weighs approximately 145 g, making it unobtrusive in installations.
