The DiNET DAN-TX is an analog to digital converter that is designed to
take the signal from instruments or line level audio sources and transmit
them over an existing Dante-enabled network.
A typical direct box is a device that converts an unbalanced high-
impedance instrument or consumer line level audio output to a balanced
low-impedance signal that can easily interface with a professional audio
system. The Radial DiNet DAN-TX provides the same input options of a
multi-media direct box, but converts the audio to a digital stream that is
suitable for direct connection to a Dante network over Ethernet.
The DAN-TX is equipped with a variety of connection options to make
it easy to connect with any type of audio equipment. The included
stereo 3.5mm, RCA and ¼” connectors are wired in parallel to allow
for immediate hookup of instruments, tablets, smartphones, consumer
audio devices, broadcast and professional audio equipment without the
need for adapter cables. When additional signal handling is required, the
switching ¼” jacks adapt to both unbalanced (TS) and balanced (TRS)
connectors to accom4dBu sources, with a maximum input of
up to +28dBu.
The inputs of the DAN-TX are processed using high quality 24 bit/ 96kHz
analog-to-digital converters, providing two channels of Dante digital
outputs over a single Ethernet connector, and allowing easy integration
of analog audio devices with an existing Dante network.
Computer running
Dante Controller
for setup
The DAN-TX is easy to use, with no setup required at the box itself. It
is completely confi gured by Dante Controller, which manages digital
audio routing across the Dante network. Dante Controller is a software
application by Audinate™ that allows the user to manage all Dante-
enabled devices across a network. Use Dante Controller to route audio
from the DAN-TX to any number of destinations on the network. Simply
plug the DAN-TX into the network and it will automatically appear as an
available transmit device within Dante Controller. The DAN-TX will initially
have the name “DiNET-TX-xxxxxx”, where the last 6 digits will be the
unique media access control address (MAC address) of your DAN-TX. As
this can be changed to a user-generated name using Dante Controller,
we recommend writing down the MAC address of your unit in the space
provided below for future reference.
