It lets users connect a microphone and a laptop or media player at the wall, sending both onto the network as separate channels. The plate is PoE powered and configured in RDL CONSOLE or with the RDL Q-SYS plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ds-rn2ml.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DS-RN2ML stainless steel Dante wall plate interface\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XLR input is converted to one Dante transmit channel, with five software-selectable gain settings: 35, 42 or 59 dB for microphones, and unity or 12 dB for line sources. P48 phantom power can be enabled in software when the XLR input is set for mic level. The stereo Mini-jack input is actively summed to mono and converted to a second Dante transmit channel. Its gain is optimized for -10 dBV sources and can be raised or lowered by 5 dB in software. Two network channels are converted to balanced line level on a rear-panel detachable wiring block, each delivering +4 dBu for -18 dBFS network audio. Each output has a software-controlled attenuator in 1 dB steps to -63 dB, then OFF. The outputs can drive local amplifiers or feed adjacent XLR jacks using an RDL DS-D2 dual plate with two \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ams-xlrma\"\u003eAMS-XLRMA\u003c\/a\u003e jacks. Green LEDs confirm PoE power and Dante sync, and the steel chassis mounts behind a stainless steel Decora front plate.
