SECTION 1 - HERO HEADLINE Bring Analogue XLR Audio into Dante Networks The Lindy 2ch XLR Audio to Dante Encoder provides a simple and reliable way to integrate analogue XLR audio sources into Dante networked audio systems, making it ideal for professional AV, live sound, broadcast and installed audio environments. SECTION 2 - FEATURE CALLOUT Seamless Two Channel XLR Conversion for Dante Workflows Designed to bridge traditional analogue audio equipment with modern digital audio networks, this compact encoder converts two XLR input channels into low latency, uncompressed Dante audio. With support for PoE, USB-C power and Dante Controller software, it offers a flexible and scalable solution for integrating mixers, DSPs, DI boxes, compressors and wireless receivers into professional networked audio systems. SECTION 3 - AT A GLANCE At a Glance 2 channel XLR audio input Captures high quality analogue audio for Dante network distribution. Dante and AES67 support Enables integration into scalable professional audio networks. USB-C or PoE powered Flexible power options simplify installation and deployment. Compact metal housing Suitable for field use, rack setups and fixed AV installations. SECTION 4 - KEY BENEFITS Key Benefits Integrates analogue equipment into Dante systems Converts two channels of analogue XLR audio into Dante digital audio, allowing existing mixers, DSPs, DI boxes and wireless receivers to be used within modern networked environments. Reduces cabling complexity By carrying audio over standard network infrastructure, the encoder can replace longer analogue or multicore cable runs with a single network cable. Supports professional audio quality With 24-bit audio and sample rates up to 96kHz, the encoder supports clean, accurate signal conversion for demanding AV and audio workflows. Flexible power for easier installation Power can be supplied via USB-C or 802.3af PoE, helping installers deploy the unit in racks, behind equipment or in temporary production setups. Scalable routing and system control Support for Dante Controller software allows users to configure routing and manage audio channels across Dante networks as systems expand. Built for professional environments The compact metal enclosure and included mounting ears make the encoder suitable for live events, corporate venues, broadcast systems and fixed AV installations. SECTION 5 - TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Typical Applications The 2ch XLR Audio to Dante Encoder is ideal for connecting analogue audio sources such as mixers, DSPs, DI boxes, compressors and wireless microphone receivers to Dante enabled networks. It is well suited to live sound systems, broadcast environments, corporate AV installations, education spaces, houses of worship and venues where reliable long-distance audio distribution is required. SECTION 6 - TECHNICAL SUMMARY Technical Summary The encoder supports Dante and AES67 protocols with 24-bit audio and sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz. It provides two XLR female inputs, one RJ45 network output and supports transmission distances up to 100m (328.08ft) over standard network infrastructure. Power can be supplied via USB-C or 802.3af PoE, with maximum power consumption of 2.35W. The compact metal housing measures 127 x 53 x 26mm and is designed for practical use in portable, rack-mounted and fixed installation environments. The encoder is supplied with mounting ears and screws, a user manual and is backed by a 3-year warranty. Dante and Dante software are licensed trademarks of Audinate Pty Ltd.
