It lets a presenter plug a microphone or line source into the network at the wall while the same plate returns audio to a local amplifier or a front-panel XLR output. PoE power and software setup through RDL CONSOLE or a Q-SYS plug-in make it a practical endpoint for conference rooms and networked paging and sound systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ds-rn12.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DS-RN12 stainless steel Dante wall plate interface\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel XLR input is converted to one Dante or AES67 transmit channel. Five software-selectable gain settings cover the input: 35, 42 or 59 dB for condenser or dynamic microphones, and unity or 12 dB for line sources. P48 phantom power can be enabled in software when the input is set for mic level. On the output side, two network channels are converted to balanced audio: one feeds the front-panel XLR and a rear-panel terminal, and the second feeds a separate rear-panel terminal. Each line output delivers +4 dBu balanced for a network level of -18 dBFS, with a software-controlled attenuator in 1 dB steps to -63 dB, then OFF. The front-panel XLR output is software-selectable for mic or line level. Rear-panel outputs can drive local power amplifiers or feed extra XLR jacks mounted next to the plate in a dual-gang box using an RDL DS-D2 dual plate with two \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ams-xlrma\"\u003eAMS-XLRMA\u003c\/a\u003e jacks.
