KanexPro Dante 2-Channel XLR Input Adapter

About: KanexPro Dante 2-Channel XLR Input Adapter

The KanexPro AUD-DTE-XLRIN converts two-channel balanced or unbalanced XLR analog audio into Dante digital audio for professional AV and networked sound environments. Built on the Dante Ultimo 2x2 platform, it accepts microphones, mixers, and pro-audio line sources directly via integrated 30cm XLR pigtail leads, eliminating the need for a separate stagebox or rack-mount interface.

Five selectable input sensitivity levels (+24dBu to -10dBv) deliver precise gain staging at the source. Powered by PoE (802.3af Class 0) or USB-C, it installs anywhere on the network with minimal cabling. Configurable latency (1, 2, or 5ms) and AES67 compatibility ensure integration into any professional Dante ecosystem.

• Converts 2-channel balanced/unbalanced XLR analog audio to Dante 2CH digital audio
