RDL SF-XMN4 – SysFlex Four-Channel Mic to Dante Interface
What is the RDL SF-XMN4?
The RDL SF-XMN4 is a SysFlex four-channel microphone to Dante interface that converts four XLR mic inputs to Dante network channels. Each input has switch-selectable gain, P48 phantom power and a dual-LED VU meter, and the unit is powered by PoE from the network switch. Its all-metal SysFlex enclosure can stand free, mount to a surface or mount in a rack, which makes it a practical Dante mic interface for fixed commercial installs.
How does it work?
Each XLR input has a switch that sets mic gain to 40 dB, 48 dB or 62 dB for dynamic or condenser microphones. A dual-LED VU meter shows the level on every input so the correct gain range can be chosen without a computer. P48 phantom power is supplied to each microphone input, and discrete mic preamplifiers provide low-noise, studio-quality pickup. The four inputs become four Dante transmit channels at 24 bits, with sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz. The SF-XMN4 is powered by PoE Class 0 (IEEE 802.3af), so no local power supply is needed. A green front-panel LED confirms valid PoE power and Dante sync. SysFlex mounting accessories include the RDL SF-RA1 rack adapter, the SF-UCB2 under-counter bracket pair and the SF-MSM1 microphone stand mount. The unit is engineered and built in the U.S.A. for continuous duty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need software to set it up?
No. Gain is set with switches on each input, guided by the dual-LED VU meters.
How is it powered?
By PoE Class 0 (IEEE 802.3af) from the network switch. RDL lists PoE as its power source.
Can it be rack mounted?
Yes. It is equipped for SysFlex rack mounting with the SF-RA1 rack adapter, or for surface mounting.
How does it differ from the AV-XMN4?
The SF-XMN4 is a PoE-powered SysFlex module for rack or surface mounting. The AV-XMN4 adds an external 24 Vdc power option and an etherCON connector in an AV-PAK enclosure.
Does it supply phantom power?
Yes. P48 phantom power is supplied to each microphone input.
What warranty does it carry?
This product is covered by a 7-year RDL warranty. For warranty claims, RMAs or support, contact Creation Networks at (888) 230-3661 or sales@creationnetworks.net.
