The DA11ABL-WP-US is a multi-input / output wall plate to convert Bluetooth and analog
audio within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The DA11ABL-WP-US converts 2
input channels of Bluetooth or unbalanced audio to Dante® digital audio, and 2 channels
of Dante® audio to 2 x output channels of unbalanced audio.
The DA11ABL-WP-US is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power over
Ethernet), or via 12V power supply, oers support for AES67 RTP audio transport and
magnetic faceplate design allows installation into most single-gang US junction boxes.
The DA11ABL-WP-US is the ideal BYOD interface to allow any Bluetooth device to stream
audio wirelessly to a Dante® audio system.

Dante Controller
Dante Controller soware is required in order to setup and configure the DA11ABL-WP-US 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 DA11ABL-WP-US to a compatible network, the Dante Controller soware should automatically
discover the device. The DA11ABL-WP-US will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA11ABL-WP”.
On the “Routing” screen you can create audio routing between Dante transmitters and receivers in your system.
Please ensure your PC is on the same network as your Dante devices. Dante is not able to transmit over WiFi and it is
recommended to hardwire into the Dante network. Having multiple network devices enabled can also confuse the
Dante Controller soware so it is recommended to disable WiFi during configuration.
Connections:
1Bluetooth LED - Illuminates when a Bluetooth connection is active
2Power LED - Illuminates when the DA11ABL-WP-US is powered on
3Audio In - Analog audio 3.5mm L/R stereo input jack. Connect to analog audio souce device for audio input
4Audio Out - Analog audio RCA L/R output. Connect to analog audio amplifier for audio output
5ID LED - Flashes to assist in identification of the device, controlled via control soware or Dante Controller
6Bluetooth Pair Button - Press to activate Bluetooth Pairing mode. Press and hold for 3 seconds to disconnect Bluetooth
devices. Press 2 times in quick succession to select audio input. Note settings can be adjusted via control soware
7Program Port - Micro USB port to allow PC connectivity for configuration via control soware and firmware updates
8Dante® (PoE) Port - RJ45 connector supporting PoE, connects to Dante® audio network
9DC Input - Connect to +12VDC power supply (not supplied) if device is not powered via a PoE switch

Advanced Dante Settings
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA11ABL-WP-US 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 DA11ABL-WP-US. 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 DA11ABL-WP-US from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
By default the DA11ABL-WP-US 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 DA11ABL-WP-US with an IP Address. If
no DHCP server is present then the DA11ABL-WP-US will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.
To change the IP Address of the DA11ABL-WP-US, you must enter the “Network Config” menu in the “Device Info”
screen of the Dante Controller soware.
