Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel XLR Input Adapter

The Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel XLR Input Adapter converts two channel balanced or unbalanced XLR analog audio into Dante digital audio for use on networked audio systems. This compact and professional interface allows mixers, consoles, microphones with line output adapters, or other analog sources to be integrated into Dante based infrastructures with high audio quality and low latency.

Supporting up to 24 bit audio at sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz, the unit provides clean analog to digital conversion with adjustable input gain to match different source signal levels. Dante latency can be configured to 1, 2, or 5 ms for precise timing in live sound, broadcast, corporate AV, and distributed audio applications. Power can be supplied over Ethernet via PoE or through the USB C port, allowing flexible installation in racks, podiums, or remote equipment locations.

Rugged and compact, this adapter is built for professional environments requiring reliable analog to Dante conversion. It integrates fully with Dante Controller and other Dante management tools, ensuring seamless routing and control across a modern network audio system.
