Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel XLR Analog Output Adapter for Dante Audio Network

Product Overview

The Audinate Dante AVIO 2-Channel Analog Output Adapter delivers two channels of balanced analog line-level audio from a Dante network to any XLR-equipped analog device — power amplifiers, powered speakers, DSP inputs, or legacy signal processors. This Dante 2-channel analog output adapter is a cost-effective integration solution for commercial AV systems where analog endpoints need to connect to an existing Dante audio infrastructure without replacing hardware. It supports sample rates up to 96 kHz, configurable output levels, and is compatible with both AES67 and Dante Domain Manager.

Product Description

Where a single analog output endpoint needs to serve a stereo pair — a stereo power amplifier, a pair of powered near-field monitors, or a two-channel DSP return — the AVIO 2-Channel Analog Output provides both channels from a single PoE-powered unit, keeping installation tidy and cost-effective. Integrators commonly use pairs of input and output AVIO adapters to patch analog processors (compressors, equalizers, crossovers) into a Dante signal chain without adding complex hardware.

Analog performance is professional grade: better than 100dB dynamic range and SNR, less than 0.01% THD at +4dBu, and flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.5dB). Output impedance is 150 Ohm balanced, and the maximum signal level of +18dBu is configurable down to -10dBV via Dante Controller. The compact polycarbonate enclosure auto-discovers on the network upon power-up; no configuration software is needed beyond the Dante Controller routing interface.

Key Features

• Dual Balanced XLR Outputs — Two independent line-level balanced XLR outputs for stereo or dual-mono analog distribution from a Dante network.
• Up to 96 kHz Sample Rate — Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz for high-resolution distribution to analog endpoints.
• Configurable Output Level — Gain and attenuation adjustable per channel via Dante Controller; +18dBu maximum output.
• High-Performance Analog Stage — Dynamic range >100dB, SNR >100dB, THD <0.01% at +4dBu, 20Hz–20kHz (±0.5dB) frequency response.
• PoE Powered — Single 802.3af Class 1 PoE connection supplies both power and network; no additional cabling required.
• AES67 Support — Compatible with AES67 RTP for mixed-protocol deployments alongside non-Dante IP audio devices.
• Dante Domain Manager Ready — Supports DDM for enterprise access control, security auditing, and centralized management.
• Plug-and-Play — Auto-discovers on the Dante network upon connection; no separate setup beyond Dante Controller routing.
