{"product_id":"rdl-dds-rn40","title":"RDL DDS-RN40 – Stainless 4x2 Software-Controlled Dante Wall Interface","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL DDS-RN40?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL DDS-RN40 is a software-configured 4 x 2 Dante mic\/line wall interface in a stainless steel Decora-style finish. It provides four front-panel XLR mic\/line inputs, along with two balanced line outputs on a rear-panel terminal block. Gain, phantom power and output levels are set over the network with RDL CONSOLE or other network control software, and a Q-SYS plug-in is available for configuration inside a Q-SYS design. It runs on PoE and suits conference rooms, classrooms and meeting spaces where settings need to be adjusted remotely instead of at the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dds-rn40-1.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DDS-RN40 stainless steel 4 x 2 software-controlled Dante wall interface\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DDS-RN40 installs in a standard North American dual-gang electrical box (4\" square deep recommended) or an RDL WB-2U international wall box for thinner walls. Each XLR input becomes its own Dante transmit channel, with software-selectable mic gain of 35 dB, 42 dB or 59 dB and line gain of unity or 12 dB. P48 phantom power can be enabled in software when an input is set to mic level, so condenser microphones can be added without opening the wall plate. Two Dante channels are converted to +4 dBu balanced line level on a rear-panel detachable terminal block, for a network level of -18 dBFS. Each output has a software-controlled attenuator adjustable in 1 dB steps to 62 dB, then OFF. The outputs are intended for RDL AMS connector modules (RCA, mini-jack or XLR) in matching Decora plates, mounted in a triple-gang box with the interface or remotely in a single-gang box. Green front-panel LEDs confirm PoE power and Dante sync. RDL mic preamplifiers and 24-bit conversion in a steel chassis with Decora front plates deliver low-noise performance for continuous duty, and the unit is built in the U.S.A.
