2ch Dante to XLR Audio Decoder - Lindy - 70619

Dante is a digital audio networking technology that uses standard IP networks to transmit multiple channels of high-quality, uncompressed audio with very low latency. It simplifies audio system design and reduces cabling requirements compared to traditional analog audio setups.

Yes, you will need Audinate's free Dante Controller software installed on a computer connected to the same network as the decoder to manage audio routing and device configuration.

While it uses a USB-C port for power, it requires a stable power source capable of delivering 5V at 2A. Some computer USB ports may not provide sufficient power, so a dedicated USB power adapter or a PoE-enabled network switch is recommended for reliable operation.

Balanced XLR outputs use three conductors to transmit the audio signal and reject common-mode noise, making them ideal for longer cable runs and reducing interference. Unbalanced XLR outputs use two conductors and are more susceptible to noise, typically used for shorter connections or with equipment that only supports unbalanced inputs.

This Lindy product comes with a 3-Year Warranty.

The decoder is designed to receive and decode one two-channel Dante audio stream at a time for its analog output. The number of Dante streams a network can handle depends on the network infrastructure and the capabilities of other Dante-enabled devices.

Verify that the device is powered on and connected to the Dante network. Ensure the device is discoverable and configured correctly in Audinate Dante Controller software. Check that audio is routed to the decoder's output channels within Dante Controller. Confirm that the connected analog equipment is powered on and set to the correct input.

Check the integrity of the Ethernet cable and network connection. Ensure sufficient bandwidth on your network. Verify that the Dante network is stable and not experiencing excessive traffic or latency. Try powering the device via the alternative method (USB-C or PoE).

Confirm the device is powered on and connected via Ethernet to the same network as the computer running Dante Controller. Ensure your network switch supports the necessary multicast traffic for Dante. Restart the device and the computer running Dante Controller.

Ensure you are using balanced XLR cables for optimal noise rejection if your equipment supports it. Verify that the connected analog equipment is functioning correctly and not introducing noise. Check that the Dante audio source is clean and free of artifacts.
