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.

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.
