The Radial DAN-TX2 is a stereo direct box designed to connect any line level source to a
Dante™ or AES67-compliant network. Interfacing with a Dante network is easy – simply
connect the DAN-TX2 Ethernet jack to any networked audio system using standard Cat5e or
Cat6 cable. Multiple input options are provided, including dual XLR/TRS combo connectors
for professional audio equipment, RCA jacks for line level consumer playback devices, and
a 3.5mm aux input for easy connection to laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Levels can be
controlled locally with input trims pots and -18dB pad switches, with signal presence and
clip indicators for each channel. When used with stereo signals, a Link switch allows both
left and right inputs to be controlled with the trim pot and pad switch on Channel 1 to easily
adjust both signals in tandem. The DAN-TX can accept input levels up to +24dBu, and uses
24bit/96kHz processing to convert these analog signals to the Dante protocol.
