4. Introduction and Description:

 Thank you

Hello from everyone here at Xilica Audio Design Canada and thank you for purchasing our Rio Series Dante
enabled interface.

 Rio Series – R22-P, R44-P, R22-WP-X, and R22-WP-M Dante Interface Devices

Like all of our products, the Rio Series interface devices are designed and engineered in Canada.
The R22 and R44 interface models provide bidirectional Dante network audio to analog breakout and analog to Dante
input conversion and transport via Dante network audio over Ethernet cable.

R22-P and R44-P Models:

The R22-P (2x2 analog and 2x2 Dante I/O) and R44-P (4x4 analog and 4x4 Dante I/O) models are ¼ rack chassis size
Dante interfaces and include removable surface mount brackets to secure them to a rear rack rail, to rack shelves, or any
wall surface. Optionally, you can purchase a rack mount panel and rack four (4) of the R22-P or R44-P units side by side
in a 19” rack. An external power supply is included but you can also power them using a PoE switch or router.

R22-WP-X and R22-WP-M Models:

The R22-WP-X and R22-WP-M models are 2x2 analog / 2x2 Dante I/O interfaces on a 2 gang sized flush or surface
mount wall plate (surface mount back box included). These panels are a two piece design with the decora-style outer

plastic cover snapping onto and off of the installed main body panel. From the front of the panel - place a small slotted
screwdriver in the cutout located in the middle of the bottom edge of the plastic outer cover to assist removing the outer
cover from the main body panel (see page 4). They are available in back, white, or black/white combination colours. An

external power supply is included but we recommend powering them with a PoE switch or router. The only major
difference between these two models is the analog I/O connectors provided on the front panel of each model.

- The R22-WP-X wall plate model provides XLR analog I/O connections only.

- The R22-WP-M wall plate model provides a mix of XLR, dual RCA (L+R summed), and stereo 3.5mm (L+R summed)
analog I/O connections.

5. Hardware / Connections:

R22-P and R44-P Models (Front of R44-P Example Shown)

1. Input Select Dip Switches

Select Mic or Line input status on a per input basis using the Dip switches.

2. 48V Phantom Power Dip Switches

Select and activate 48v phantom power on a per input basis using the Dip switches.

3. Network Status LED

 When the interface device has a Dante network cable connected the Network status LED on the front will light. If there

is no network cable attached it remains off.

 When the interface device is properly connected to the Dante network and communicating the Network status light on the RJ45

network audio connector will flash.

4. Power Status LED

Power Status LED will light to notify you that the interface device is connected to a power source.

5. Dante Network Audio RJ-45 Connector

Use a Cat5, Cat6 or better network cable to connect the Rio R22-P and R44-P device to your Dante network.
