BLOCK 4+

Relacart Block4+ - 4-channel Dante audio interface with analogue outputs and PoE power

The simplest way to bring audio from a Dante network to analogue audio equipment. The Relacart Block4+ is a compact interface that receives audio transmitted over Ethernet and delivers it to four analogue outputs. Dante technology provides low latency, high-precision clock synchronisation and flexible signal routing over 100Mbps and 1000Mbps networks. It replaces complex traditional analogue cabling, simplifying installation and reducing costs. The unit works within existing network infrastructure without special configuration. It is designed for AV integrators distributing audio to amplifiers, active speakers and sound reinforcement systems in conference rooms, educational facilities, hotels and commercial venues.

The Block4+ can be powered directly from a network switch via PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or from a 12V DC power supply, with power consumption of just 4W. The outputs are provided on pluggable 3.81mm terminal blocks, making installation and servicing quick and convenient. LED indicators show power, network and network audio status, as well as signal presence on each output. The metal housing with mounting ears allows easy installation under a desk, in a rack cabinet or on a wall.
