RDL D-RN2ML – White Dante Mic/Line and Mini-Jack Interface 2x2
What is the RDL D-RN2ML?
The RDL D-RN2ML is a single-gang Dante or AES67 wall-plate interface with an XLR mic/line input, a 3.5 mm Mini-jack line input and two balanced outputs, built for conference rooms, classrooms and meeting spaces that run on a Dante network. This white version is powered entirely by PoE and configured in RDL CONSOLE or other network control software, with a Q-SYS plug-in available. 24-bit conversion and RDL's low-noise analog circuitry make it a dependable wall-mount Dante mic/line interface for commercial AV installations.
How does it work?
The front-panel XLR input and a stereo Mini-jack input, actively summed to mono, each feed one network transmit channel, and two received network channels drive balanced line outputs on a rear-panel detachable wiring block. The XLR input offers software-selected gain of 35 dB, 42 dB or 59 dB for microphones, or unity or 12 dB for line sources, with software-enabled P48 phantom power. The Mini-jack input is optimized for -10 dBV laptop or media-player sources, with software gain settings of unity, +5 dB or -5 dB. The rear outputs can drive local power amplifiers or feed additional XLR jacks mounted beside the interface in a dual-gang box. Each output provides +4 dBu balanced for a network level of -18 dBFS and has a software-controlled attenuator adjustable in 1 dB steps to 63 dB, then OFF. The module supports sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz at 24 bits. It fits a standard US single-gang electrical box, or mounts in EU/UK square back boxes with 60 mm screw centers using the RDL EP-1 adaptor. Two XLR outputs can be added next to the plate using an RDL D-D2 fitted with two AMS-XLRMA jacks, available separately. Green front-panel LEDs confirm valid PoE power and Dante network sync, so installers can check status at the wall. The steel chassis carries a Decora-style front plate, and the unit is engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A. for continuous duty. For surface mounting where no in-wall box exists, the RDL SMB-1W surface-mount box is a matching option.
What are the key features?
- XLR mic/line input — Software-selected gain of 35, 42 or 59 dB for mics, or unity or 12 dB for line, with software-enabled P48 phantom.
- Mini-jack laptop input — A stereo 3.5 mm input is summed to mono and optimized for -10 dBV sources, with unity, +5 dB or -5 dB gain.
- Two rear line outputs — Balanced outputs on a detachable wiring block can drive local amplifiers or adjacent XLR jacks.
- Dante or AES67 — The interface joins Dante networks and AES67 systems at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz with 24-bit conversion.
- 1 dB step output attenuators — Each output level is set in software in 1 dB steps down to 63 dB of attenuation, then OFF.
- Single-cable PoE power — A PoE Class 0, IEEE 802.3af switch port powers the unit, so no local power supply is required.
- Software and Q-SYS control — Setup runs in RDL CONSOLE or other network control software, and a Q-SYS plug-in is available.
- RDL remote compatible — The module works with RDL network remote controls for user level adjustment.
- Single-gang wall mounting — The compact 1.80 x 4.11 x 2.09 in body fits a standard US single-gang electrical box.
