{"product_id":"rdl-fp-nml2vp","title":"RDL FP-NML2VP – Dante to Mic\/Line Interface with VCA, PoE","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL FP-NML2VP?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL FP-NML2VP is a FLAT-PAK Dante network interface that converts two Dante channels to professional line or mic level outputs, each with its own VCA level control. It adapts standard power amplifiers and mixer inputs to a Dante network and lets each output be adjusted from a remote control or a 0 to 10 Vdc signal. The FP-NML2VP adds PoE operation, including hot-standby backup when an external 24 Vdc supply is also connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fp-nml2vp.jpg\" alt=\"RDL FP-NML2VP Dante to mic\/line interface with VCA\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach un-attenuated output delivers +4 dBu balanced for a network level of -18 dBFS, so it connects directly to professional and commercial equipment without extra gain. A recessed mic\/line switch on each output adds 50 dB of attenuation to feed the microphone input of a mixer-amplifier. Each output has its own VCA, adjustable with industry-standard 0 to 10 Vdc control, so one remote can adjust both outputs or separate remotes can control each. RDL offers compatible passive and rotary-encoder remotes, such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-d-rlc3\"\u003eD-RLC3\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ds-rlc3\"\u003eDS-RLC3\u003c\/a\u003e remote level controls. Crosstalk is below the noise floor, the noise floor is better than 80 dB below operating level and headroom exceeds 18 dB. Outputs mute when the digital audio inputs are inactive. The FP-NML2VP runs from a PoE switch, and if an external 24 Vdc supply is also connected it runs from that supply and switches to PoE if the supply is lost. A 24 Vdc pass-through jack allows a supply to be shared with RDL amplifiers. The module is equipped for rack or surface mounting with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-fp-hra\"\u003eFP-HRA 10.4-inch rack mount\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-fp-rra\"\u003eFP-RRA 19-inch rack adapter\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Dante outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Converts two Dante network channels to balanced professional line level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-output VCA\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each output has a VCA for remote level control by RDL or OEM remotes or 0 to 10 Vdc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMic or line switch\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each output is switch-selectable for mic or line level to feed mixer mic inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow noise and crosstalk\u003c\/strong\u003e — More than 18 dB headroom with crosstalk below the noise floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto mute\u003c\/strong\u003e — Outputs mute when the digital audio inputs are inactive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE with hot standby\u003c\/strong\u003e — Runs from PoE or an external 24 Vdc supply, with automatic switchover to PoE if the supply fails.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack or surface mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — Equipped for FLAT-PAK rack adapters or surface mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is it typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference rooms and boardrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial paging and background music zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouses of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining rooms and classrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch\"\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;min-width:300px;table-layout:fixed;border-color:#ddd\"\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 valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRJ45 with Link and Speed indicators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Audio Ethernet Protocol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDante\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample Rates Supported\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.1 kHz, 48 kHz (default)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBit Depth Supported\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 bits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Operating Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-18 dBFS = +4 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs (2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced, detachable terminal block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+4 dBu (nominal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 Ω balanced;
