{"product_id":"rdl-av-xmn4","title":"RDL AV-XMN4 – Four-Channel Microphone to Dante Interface","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL AV-XMN4?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL AV-XMN4 is a four-channel microphone to Dante interface that converts four XLR mic inputs to Dante network audio channels. Each input has switch-selectable gain for dynamic or condenser microphones, P48 phantom power and its own dual-LED VU meter, so no configuration software is needed. Its all-metal AV-PAK enclosure works on stage, in a studio or on a fixed surface, and it runs from PoE or an external 24 Vdc supply with automatic failover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/av-xmn4.jpg\" alt=\"RDL AV-XMN4 four-channel microphone to Dante interface\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the four XLR inputs has a front-panel switch that sets mic gain to 40 dB, 48 dB or 62 dB for dynamic or condenser microphones. A dual-LED VU meter on every channel shows the input level so the installer can pick the ideal gain range without a computer. P48 phantom power is supplied to each microphone input, and discrete mic preamplifiers keep noise low for speech and music pickup. The Dante network connects through a Neutrik etherCON RJ45 jack, and the unit supports sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz at 24 bits. The AV-XMN4 operates from a PoE-enabled network switch (Class 0, IEEE 802.3af) or from an external 24 Vdc supply at 500 mA. When both sources are connected it runs from the external supply and switches over to PoE automatically if that supply is lost, and it reserves PoE power from the switch the whole time. RDL recommends the PS-24AS (USA) or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ps-24ax\"\u003eRDL PS-24AX\u003c\/a\u003e (international) 24 Vdc power supply, which is not included.
