{"product_id":"rdl-fp-nml2p","title":"RDL FP-NML2P – Dante to 2 Mic\/Line Outputs, PoE","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL FP-NML2P?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL FP-NML2P is a Dante network to mic\/line interface that converts two Dante audio channels to balanced analog outputs. Each output is switch-selectable for mic or line level, so it can feed a professional line input or the mic input of a mixer-amplifier. The FP-NML2P runs from a PoE-enabled network switch or an external 24 Vdc supply, with hot-standby switchover between the two. It is a practical way to add Dante networked audio to standard amplifiers in conference rooms, classrooms and commercial paging systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fp-nml2p.jpg\" alt=\"RDL FP-NML2P Dante to 2 Mic\/Line Outputs, PoE\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FP-NML2P receives two Dante channels and converts them with high-resolution 24-bit digital-to-analog conversion and RDL analog filtering. Each line output provides +4 dBu balanced for a network level of -18 dBFS, so it interfaces directly with professional and commercial equipment without additional gain. A recessed mic\/line switch on each output adds 50 dB of attenuation to feed microphone inputs on mixers or mixer-amplifiers. Crosstalk is below the noise floor across the audio spectrum, the noise floor is better than 80 dB below operating level, and headroom exceeds 18 dB. Outputs mute automatically when the digital audio inputs are inactive, which prevents noise when the network stream stops. The FP-NML2P draws Class 0 IEEE 802.3af PoE, and it reserves PoE power even while running from an external 24 Vdc supply. If both sources are connected, the unit runs from the external supply and switches over to PoE if that supply is lost, giving a hot-standby power path. For external power, RDL recommends the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ps-24ax\"\u003ePS-24AX\u003c\/a\u003e 24 Vdc supply; the non-PoE \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-fp-nml2\"\u003eRDL FP-NML2\u003c\/a\u003e version is also available.
