FP-NML2P

RDL FP-NML2P - Dante interface with 2 microphone/line outputs and PoE power, FLAT-PAK series

RDL FP-NML2P is a Dante audio interface from Radio Design Labs with PoE power, allowing connection of devices with microphone or line inputs to the Dante network, such as standard power amplifiers and mixing amplifiers. The device is designed for installation in rack cabinets, technical rooms, conference tables, shelves, and mounting panels. The interface converts 2 Dante channels to professional balanced outputs +4dBu (at -18dBFS), so connected devices do not require additional gain. Noise remains over 80dB below the working level, headroom exceeds 18dB, and crosstalk is maintained below the noise level. The recessed MIC/LINE switch at each output introduces 50dB attenuation, allowing the microphone input of the mixing amplifier to be powered. The module can be powered via PoE (class 0, IEEE 802.3af) or from an external 24V DC power supply (available separately). When both power sources are connected, it operates from the external power supply, maintaining PoE power reservation, and in case of loss of external power, it seamlessly switches to PoE. A/D conversion at 24-bit resolution and RDL analog filtering ensure very low noise and distortion. The completely metal housing, designed and manufactured in the USA for continuous operation, allows for free-standing, surface, or rack mounting. The product is covered by a 7-year manufacturer's warranty.
