Our DA11D has been designed to convert a Dante® digital signal to unbalanced or
balanced 2ch analogue audio. The DA11D is a plug & play device that is powered
using PoE (Power over Ethernet) from any PoE network switch and supports AES67
RTP audio transport.
Introduction
• Analogue audio outputs support both balanced and unbalanced audio signals
• 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

Dante Controller soware is required in order to setup and configure the DA11D 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 DA11D to a compatible network, the Dante Controller soware should automatically discover
the device. The DA11D 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 DA11D 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 DA11D with an IP Address. If no DHCP server is
present then the DA11D will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. To change the IP Address of
the DA11D, 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 DA11D 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 DA11D. 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 DA11D from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
Depending on your audio input device, it may be necessary to adjust the Input Sensitivity of the input source.
Under the “Controls” screen of the Dante® input device we can adjust the input sensitivity of each channel from the
default of +18dBu to -10dBV.
