The Radial DAN-TX™ is a stereo direct box designed to connect instruments, laptops, tablets, or any line level source to a Dante™ network. Interfacing with a Dante network is easy - simply connect its Ethernet jack to any networked audio system using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Multiple analog inputs are provided, including dual ¼”, RCA and 3.5mm inputs. When connecting a single-channel instrument such as a bass or acoustic guitar, an instrument switch converts one of the ¼” jacks to a “Thru”. This allows the player to connect to their amp for local monitoring like a typical DI box. With stereo sources, the selection of inputs provides an easy way to connect any device, whether it be a stereo keyboard or a tablet. The 1/4” inputs will accept both balanced (TRS) for professional equipment, and unbalanced (TS) connectors for instruments or consumer gear. Levels can be controlled locally via an input trim pot that offers +/-10dB of control, with an additional -18dB pad that can be utilized when required. The DAN-TX can accept input levels up to +24dBu, and uses 24bit/96kHz processing to convert these analog signals to the Dante protocol.
