The Radial DAN-RX2 is a 2-channel 24 bit/96kHz digital to analog endpoint that allows you
to output audio from a Dante™ or AES67-compliant network for connection to professional
audio systems. The DAN-RX2 connects to the Dante network over Cat5e or Cat6 cable with
a locking Neutrik EtherCON Ethernet input, and can be powered locally or using Power over
Ethernet (PoE). XLR outputs are provided for connection to balanced professional audio
equipment such as powered speakers or a mixing console. In live sound applications, the
DAN-RX2 can be used to return audio to the stage or to route audio to smaller PA systems
or recorders in remote rooms throughout the venue. 3.5mm and 1/4” headphone outputs are
equipped with their own level control to test audio before connection to the PA system or to
monitor locally with headphones, making it useful in events where several people need to
listen in with personal monitor systems.

The DAN-RX2 provides a simple way to take a stereo feed from a Dante network and convert
it to analog audio for monitoring in any location without the need for additional equipment.

HEADPHONE
OUTPUTS - Dual 1/4”

outputs and a 3.5mm
TRS output to connect
to headphones for local
monitoring.

HEADPHONE LEVEL -

Volume control and on/off
switch for the headphone
outputs. Headphone level
adjustments are indepen­dant of the main outputs.

SYNC LEDs -

Status LEDs to
indicate connections
and slave or master
mode.

SYS LEDs -

Red LED illuminates when
power is first applied.
Switches to green LED once
Dante™ processor starts.

POWER -

15VDC connection for
use with included Radial
power adaptor when PoE
is not available.

ETHERNET -

Locking Neutrik EtherCON
connector used to connect
to a Dante™ or AES67­compliant network via
CAT5e or CAT6 cable.

Using the DAN-RX2 for press distribution

Press recorders are often placed in different
rooms away from the live event. The DAN-RX2
provides an easy way to send audio to these
rooms to connect directly to a recorder or to
feed a press box when necessary.

GROUND LIFT - Lifts
pin-1 of the XLR outputs
to reduce hum and buzz
from ground loops.

XLR OUTPUTS - Balanced
left and right XLR outputs for
connection to mic-level or
line-level inputs.

Using the DAN-RX2 for personal monitoring

The dedicated headphone outputs on the
DAN-RX2 allows it to be used as a personal
monitoring system. The sound engineer can
create a unique mix for musicians, producers or
any other event staff that need to monitor a feed
in any location on the network.
