AU-DTO4-RX - 4‑channel balanced Dante‑to‑analog receiver with configurable output level, ultra‑low‑latency DAC conversion, PoE‑powered Dante interface

4‑channel balanced Dante‑to‑analog receiver with configurable output level, ultra‑low‑latency DAC conversion, PoE‑powered Dante interface

The AU‑DTO4‑RX is a Dante receiver with four balanced mono analog audio outputs and an RJ45 AoIP input port capable of receiving up to four channels of digital audio from any standard Dante transmitter. The four analog outputs provide a high-quality balanced signal, converted by a low-latency DAC.

With the integration of Dante technology, which allows for audio extension and routing over standard Ethernet networks, the device enables complex audio systems to be built more easily and flexibly than traditional analog cabling. Dante eliminates the need for heavy and expensive multicore cables, replacing them with common Cat.5e/Cat.6 cables while maintaining the quality of uncompressed digital audio. Reception over Ethernet avoids the problems typical of long analog runs, such as interference, crosstalk, or signal attenuation, ensuring minimal latency (approximately 1 ms).

The unit is powered via PoE, increasing installation flexibility. Basic configuration is done via USB, while routing and network management are handled by third-party control software.
