4. Introduction and Description:
Thank you
Hello from everyone here at Xilica Audio Design Canada and thank you for purchasing our
Rio
Series
Dante
enabled interface.
Rio Series
– R22-P, R44-P, R22-WP-X, and R22-WP-M Dante Interface Devices
Like all of our products, the Rio Series interface devices are designed and engineered in Canada.
The R22 and R44 interface models provide bidirectional Dante network audio to analog breakout and analog to Dante
input conversion and transport via Dante network audio over Ethernet cable.
R22-P and R44-P Models:
The R22-P (2x2 analog and 2x2 Dante I/O) and R44-P (4x4 analog and 4x4 Dante I/O) models are ¼ rack chassis size
Dante interfaces and include removable surface mount brackets to secure them to a rear rack rail, to rack shelves, or any
wall surface. Optionally, you can purchase a rack mount panel and rack four (4) of the R22-P or R44-P units side by side
in a
19” rack. An external power supply is included but you can also power them using a PoE switch or router.
R22-WP-X and R22-WP-M Models:
The R22-WP-X and R22-WP-M models are 2x2 analog / 2x2 Dante I/O interfaces on a 2 gang sized flush or surface
mount wall plate (surface mount back box included).
These panels are a two piece design with the decora-style outer
plastic cover snapping onto and off of the installed main body panel. From the front of the panel - place a small slotted
screwdriver in the cutout located in the middle of the bottom edge of the plastic outer cover to assist removing the outer
cover from the main body panel (see page 4).
They are available in back, white, or black/white combination colours. An
external power supply is included but we recommend powering them with a PoE switch or router. The only major
difference between these two models is the analog I/O connectors provided on the front panel of each model.
-
The R22-WP-X wall plate model provides XLR analog I/O connections only.
-
The R22-WP-M wall plate model provides a mix of XLR, dual RCA (L+R summed), and stereo 3.5mm (L+R summed)
analog I/O connections.
