Our DA11AEN has been designed to encode unbalanced or balanced 2ch analogue
audio to Dante® digital signal. The DA11EN allows any non-Dante® audio source
such as mixing consoles, amplifiers, computers and Blustream Matrix products
or distribution products to be connected as a source within a Dante® network.
The DA11EN is a plug & play device that is powered using either PoE (Power Over
Ethernet) from any PoE network switch or via local 12v power supply input.The
DA11AEN also supports AES67 RTP audio transport.
Introduction
• Encodes unbalanced or balanced 2ch analogue audio to a Dante® digital signal
• Supports 44.1, 48 & 96 KHz sample rates @ 24 Bit
• Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 1, 2 or 5ms configurable using Dante® Controller)
• Supports AES67 RTP audio transport
• Features Class 1 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch
• Local 12v power supply input for when network switch does not support PoE*
* PS121PH power supply sold separately

Dante Controller soware is required in order to setup and configure the DA11AEN as well as control your Dante®
network. Audinate provide extensive training videos and documentation on their website. This can be found here:
http://www.audinate.com/products/soware/dante-controller
Upon connecting your DA11AEN to a compatible network, the Dante Controller soware should automatically
discover the device. The DA11AEN will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “BLS”. On the
“Routing” screen you can create audio routing between Dante® encoders and decoders in your system.
By default the DA11AEN is shipped with its network settings set to obtain an IP Address automatically. This means
that if a DHCP server is present on your network, it will provide the DA11AEN with an IP Address. If no DHCP server
is present then the DA11AEN will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. To change the IP Address
of the DA11AEN, you must enter the “Network Config” menu in the “Device Info” screen of the Dante Controller
soware.

Advanced Dante® Settings
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA11AEN under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante Controller
soware. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu.
Here we can adjust the sample rate of the DA11AEN. Please Note: that Dante® products can only transmit or receive
audio from other Dante® products that are set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate may stop
audio from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the DA11AEN from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
SWITCH POSITION OUTPUT SENSITIVITY
1 +18dBu
2 +4dBu
3 +0dBu
4 0dBV
5 -10dBV
Depending on the connected audio device, it may be necessary to adjust the gain or input sensitivity.
The DA11AEN features a 5 pin switch on the side of the device to adjust the output gain of each channel from
various settings between +18dBu to -10dBV.
