Description
RDL RU-MLB2P - bidirectional Dante 2x2 network interface for microphone and line signals with PoE power
The RDL RU-MLB2P is a bidirectional Dante audio interface from Radio Design Labs with PoE power, designed to connect microphones and line devices to an audio network. The module is suitable for rack cabinets, technical rooms, conference tables, shelves, and mounting panels. The device has 2 inputs and 2 Dante outputs. The input section converts 2 microphone or line sources into Dante channels, and the type of signal for each input is selected using the MIC/LINE switch on the rear panel. The line inputs have separate terminals for balanced +4dBu and unbalanced -10dBV signals. Automatic microphone gain of -40dB for condenser microphones and -60dB for dynamic microphones eliminates the need for adjustment by the installer, and each microphone input has phantom power P48. The output section converts 2 Dante channels into balanced line outputs +4dBu (at -18dBFS), and crosstalk between outputs is maintained below the noise level. 24-bit conversion, RDL analog filtering, and signal and network synchronization LEDs ensure high sound quality and clear operational control. The RU-MLB2P 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 smoothly switches to PoE upon loss of external power. The completely metal housing allows for free-standing, surface, or rack mounting. The device is designed and manufactured in the USA. The product is covered by a 7-year manufacturer's warranty.
