{"product_id":"rdl-db-nlc1","title":"RDL DB-NLC1 – Dante Network Volume Control with LEDs, Black","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL DB-NLC1?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL DB-NLC1 is a PoE-powered network volume remote control in a black Decora-style face that adjusts Dante audio levels from a wall location. A 15-segment LED string shows the attenuation level, and a dedicated Mute button with indicator gives users fast, predictable control. Each unit can run as a Controller or as a Satellite, so up to eight wall stations can share control of the same audio zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/db-nlc1.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DB-NLC1 Dante Network Volume Control with LEDs, Black\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DB-NLC1 connects to the network through a single RJ45 jack and is powered by PoE (Class 0, IEEE 802.3af), so no local power supply is needed. Setup is done in a browser session hosted by the unit itself, where the installer assigns the outputs or Dante flows that the control will adjust. When volume is set to a group of outputs at different levels, the dB offsets between them are preserved while the group level changes. Pressing Up and Down together returns audio to a preset level defined in the unit settings, and the Mute condition clears with another press of Mute or either level button. Configured as a Controller, the DB-NLC1 accepts commands from up to seven Satellites and sends single commands to the controlled devices; configured as a Satellite, it can point to another NLC1 or to a network remote such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-d-nmc1\"\u003eRDL D-NMC1\u003c\/a\u003e. The LED display dims when idle and returns to full brightness on any button press. For public spaces, the unit can lock after 30 seconds of inactivity, and an installer-programmable button sequence re-enables the controls. It mounts in a standard US electrical box with a cover plate sold separately, such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-cp-1b\"\u003eCP-1B black cover plate\u003c\/a\u003e, or on a desk or wall with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-dc-1b\"\u003eDC-1B\u003c\/a\u003e chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE powered\u003c\/strong\u003e — IEEE 802.3af Class 0 power over the network cable removes the need for a local supply at the wall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15-segment LED level display\u003c\/strong\u003e — Users see the current attenuation level at a glance, and the display dims when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eController or Satellite operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Up to eight units can work together so a room can be controlled from several entrances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreserved group offsets\u003c\/strong\u003e — Grouped outputs keep their relative dB offsets while the overall level is adjusted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-lock option\u003c\/strong\u003e — Buttons can lock after 30 seconds of inactivity with an installer-defined button sequence to re-enable them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrowser-based setup\u003c\/strong\u003e — Configuration runs in a browser session hosted by the unit, with no special software required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is it typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;min-width:300px;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:44%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:56%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork connector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eRJ45 with Link and Activity indicators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e100 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndicators (18)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eEthernet Link and Activity (2, rear);
