The TAV-D2XEN is a professional-grade audio adapter designed to convert two channels of balanced or unbalanced analog XLR audio into a Dante® 2-channel digital audio stream. It supports high-resolution audio (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz at 24-bit), and offers selectable latency settings (1 ms, 2 ms or 5 ms) to align with networked audio environments.
Each analog input has a five-level sensitivity adjustment, allowing it to adapt easily to line-level or mic-level signals. The unit supports dual power options—Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB-C—making installation flexible and efficient. Built with sustainability in mind, its enclosure is made from 90 % recycled plastic (including 5 % “ocean bound” material), while maintaining rugged performance suitable for pro AV setups.
Ideal for broadcast, live sound, studio installations or any environment where integrating analog XLR sources into a Dante audio network is required, this adapter combines audio fidelity, network reliability, and compact form-factor convenience.
