RDL SF-BNC2 – Unbalanced Stereo Dante Interface, PoE
What is the RDL SF-BNC2?
The RDL SF-BNC2 is a SYSFLEX bidirectional Dante interface for unbalanced stereo audio. It converts left and right consumer-level sources to Dante and returns two Dante channels to unbalanced outputs on RCA and 3.5 mm Mini-jack connectors. PoE power and no-software setup make it an easy way to add media players, PCs and consumer gear to a Dante system.
How does it work?
Two unbalanced inputs are available on RCA jacks or a stereo 3.5 mm Mini-jack, and two unbalanced outputs appear on both RCA and Mini-jack connectors. Each input provides a network level of -20 dBFS for a -10 dBV source, and each output delivers -10 dBV for a -20 dBFS network level. Dante sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz are selectable. No special software is required to set up the module. Conversion is 24-bit with RDL analog filtering for low noise and low distortion. The SF-BNC2 runs from PoE (Class 0, IEEE 802.3af), and a green LED confirms valid power and Dante sync. It is built in an all-metal enclosure for free-standing, surface or rack mounting, and the SF-UCB2 under-counter bracket pair supports under-counter installation.
What are the key features?
- Bidirectional stereo — Two unbalanced inputs to Dante and two Dante channels to unbalanced outputs.
- RCA and Mini-jack — Inputs and outputs on front-panel RCA jacks and 3.5 mm Mini-jacks.
- Selectable sample rates — 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz Dante operation.
- No software setup — Special software is not required to configure the module.
- PoE powered — Runs from an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch port.
- SYSFLEX mounting — Free-standing, surface or rack mounting in an all-metal enclosure.
