DA22XLR-WP-US
Quick Reference Guide
Introduction
The DA22XLR-WP-US is a multi-input / output wall plate to convert analog audio
within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The DA22XLR-WP-US converts 2
input channels of balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio with switchable 48V
Phantom power to Dante® digital audio, and 2 channels of Dante® audio to 2
output channels of balanced / unbalanced audio.
The DA22XLR-WP-US is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power
over Ethernet), or via 12V power supply, offers support for AES67 RTP audio
transport and magnetic faceplate design allows installation into most double-
gang US junction boxes. The DA22XLR-WP-US is the ideal BYOD interface to a
Dante® audio system.
FEATURES:
- Dante® network wall plate interface for 2 x audio inputs and 2 x audio outputs
- Converts 2 x balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio sources to Dante® audio channels
- Converts 2 x Dante® audio channels to balanced / unbalanced audio outputs
- Switchable 48V Phantom power for each MIC XLR input
- Adjustable MIC / line sensitivity from +24dBu to -28dBV for each XLR input
- Adjustable line gain from +18 dBu to -10 dBV for each XLR output
- Supports: 44.1, 48 & 96kHz sample rates @ 24 Bit
- Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 1, 2 or 5ms configurable using Dante® Controller)
- Supports AES67 RTP audio transport
- Features Class 0 IEEE 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch
- Supports power via 12V DC adapter (supplied) for when network switch does not support PoE
- Magnetic faceplate surround and US Decora style backbox compatibility

Input Senstivity / Output Gain
The DA22XLR-WP-US features rotary dials that allow for the adjustment of both
the input sensitivity and output gain of each of the analog channels.
Simply rotate the dial and align the arrow to one of the 5 switch positions.
The input sensitivity or output gain level will correspond to the position as
per the table adjacent (also printed under the faceplate of the device
itself).
DIP| INPUT
SENSITIVITY| LINE INPUT
VRMS| OUTPUT
GAIN| OUTPUT
VRMS
---|---|---|---|---
1| +24dBu| 12.28| +18dBu| 6.153
2| +4dBu| 1.228| +4dBu| 1.228
3| 0dBu| 0.775| 0dBu| 0.775
4| -10dBV| 0.316| 0dBV| 1
5| -28dBV| 0.04| -10dBV| 0.316
Please note: Due to the low input signal from microphones, when using a microphone we recommend only using switch positions 3-5 to avoid clipping of the input signal.
Dante® Controller
Dante® Controller software is required in order to set up and configure the
DA22XLR-WP-US as well as control the Dante® network. Audinate provide
extensive training videos and documentation on their website. This can be
found here: http://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
Upon connecting the DA22XLR-WP-US to a compatible network, the Dante®
Controller software will automatically discover the device. The DA22XLR-WP-US
will appear in the Dante® Controller with a name prefixed as “DA22XLR-WP-US”.
On the “Routing” screen audio can be routed between Dante® transmitters and
receivers in the system.
Please ensure that the PC is on the same network as the Dante® devices. Dante®
is not able to transmit over WiFi, and it is recommended to hardwire into the
Dante® network. Having multiple network devices enabled can also confuse the
Dante® Controller software so it is recommended to disable WiFi during
configuration.
Advanced Dante® Settings
By default the DA22XLR-WP-US is shipped with its network settings set to
obtain an IP address automatically. This means that if a DHCP server is
present on the network, it will provide the DA22XLR-WPUS with an IP address.
If no DHCP server is present then the DA22XLR-WP-US will receive a default IP
address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.
To change the IP address of the DA22XLR-WP, enter the “Network Config” menu in
the “Device Info” screen of the Dante® Controller software.
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA22XLRWP-US within the
“Device Info” screen in the Dante® Controller software. To do so, select the
“Device Config” menu.
The sample rate of the DA22XLR-WP-US can be adjusted here. Please note: Dante®
products can only transmit or receive audio from other Dante® products that
are set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate may stop audio
from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen, the latency can be adjusted of the DA22XLR-
WP-US from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
