RDL D-RN12 Wall-Mounted Dante Mic/Line Interface 1x2
The RDL D-RN12 is a professional wall-mounted Dante and AES67 audio network interface designed to add a balanced microphone or line-level input and two network audio outputs to commercial and professional audio systems. Its compact single-gang form factor and PoE power make it well suited for distributed network audio installations where reliable audio connectivity and centralized network control are required.
The D-RN12 features a front-panel balanced XLR microphone/line input and a software-selectable front-panel XLR microphone/line output. Two additional balanced line outputs are provided on the rear-panel detachable wiring block. Audio from the XLR input can be converted to a Dante or AES67 network transmit channel, while network audio can be converted back to balanced analog outputs.
