DA22XLR-WP-US

Quick Reference Guide

The DA22XLR-WP-US is a multi-input / output wall plate to convert analog audio

Introduction

FEATURES:

• Dante® network wall plate interface for 2 x audio inputs and 2 x audio outputs

• Converts 2 x balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio sources to Dante® audio channels

• Converts 2 x Dante® audio channels to balanced / unbalanced audio outputs

• Switchable 48V Phantom power for each MIC XLR input

• Adjustable MIC / line sensitivity from +24dBu to -28dBV for each XLR input

• Adjustable line gain from +18 dBu to -10 dBV for each XLR output

• Supports: 44.1, 48 & 96kHz sample rates @ 24 Bit

within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The DA22XLR-WP-US converts
2 input channels of balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio with switchable 48V
Phantom power to Dante® digital audio, and 2 channels of Dante® audio to 2
output channels of balanced / unbalanced audio.

The DA22XLR-WP-US is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power over
Ethernet), or via 12V power supply, oers support for AES67 RTP audio transport
and magnetic faceplate design allows installation into most double-gang US
junction boxes. The DA22XLR-WP-US is the ideal BYOD interface to a Dante® audio
system.

• Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 1, 2 or 5ms configurable using Dante® Controller)

• Supports AES67 RTP audio transport

• Features Class 0 IEEE 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch

• Supports power via 12V DC adapter (supplied) for when network switch does not support PoE

• Magnetic faceplate surround and US Decora style backbox compatibility

Input Senstivity / Output Gain

The DA22XLR-WP-US features rotary dials that allow for the
adjustment of both the input sensitivity and output gain of each
of the analog channels.

Simply rotate the dial and align the arrow to one of the 5
switch positions. The input sensitivity or output gain level
will correspond to the position as per the table adjacent (also
printed under the faceplate of the device itself).

switch positions 3-5 to avoid clipping of the input signal.

Dante® Controller

Dante® Controller soware is required in order to set
up and configure the DA22XLR-WP-US as well as control
the Dante® network. Audinate provide extensive training
videos and documentation on their website. This can
be found here: http://www.audinate.com/products/

soware/dante-controller

Upon connecting the DA22XLR-WP-US to a compatible
network, the Dante® Controller soware will
automatically discover the device. The DA22XLR-WP-US
will appear in the Dante® Controller with a name prefixed
as “DA22XLR-WP-US”. On the “Routing” screen audio can
be routed between Dante® transmitters and receivers in
the system.

Please ensure that the PC is on the same network as
the Dante® devices. Dante® is not able to transmit over
WiFi, and it is recommended to hardwire into the Dante®
network. Having multiple network devices enabled
can also confuse the Dante® Controller soware so it is
recommended to disable WiFi during configuration.

Advanced Dante® Settings

By default the DA22XLR-WP-US is shipped with
its network settings set to obtain an IP address
automatically. This means that if a DHCP server is
present on the network, it will provide the DA22XLR-WP­US with an IP address. If no DHCP server is present then
the DA22XLR-WP-US will receive a default IP address in
the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.

To change the IP address of the DA22XLR-WP, enter the
“Network Config” menu in the “Device Info” screen of the
Dante® Controller soware.

It is also possible to change the settings of the DA22XLR­WP-US within the “Device Info” screen in the Dante®
Controller soware. To do so, select the “Device Config”
menu.

The sample rate of the DA22XLR-WP-US can be adjusted
here. Please note: Dante® products can only transmit or
receive audio from other Dante® products that are set up
with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate
may stop audio from transmitting.

Under the “Device Config” screen, the latency can
be adjusted of the DA22XLR-WP-US from 1, 2 or 5
milliseconds.
