BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-EU Pro Audio Technik User Guide
Introduction
The DA11ABL-WP-EU is a multi-input / output wall plate to convert Bluetooth
and analogue audio within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The
DA11ABL-WP-EU converts 2 x input channels of Bluetooth, or unbalanced audio to
Dante® digital audio, and 2 x channels of Dante® audio to 2 x output channels
of unbalanced audio.
The DA11ABL-WP-EU 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 for both UK & EU backbox
compatibility. The DA11ABL-WP-EU is the ideal BYOD interface to allow any
Bluetooth device to stream audio wirelessly to a Dante® audio system.
FEATURES:
- Dante® network wall plate interface for Bluetooth and analogue L/R audio inputs, and L/R audio outputs
- Converts 2ch Bluetooth, or un-balanced audio sources to Dante® audio
- Converts 2x Dante® audio channels to un-balanced audio outputs
- Adjustable input sensitivity from +24dBu to -28dBV via control software
- Adjustable output gain from +20dBu to -28 dBV via control software
- Supports: 44.1, 48 & 96kHz sample rates @ 16, 24 or 32 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 allowing for both UK & EU backbox compatibility

Bluetooth
Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows for 2x simultaneous connections from source audio devices, where the selected devices audio is received and sent into the Dante network.
To connect a Bluetooth enabled device to the DA11ABL-WP-EU, tap the Pair
button on the unit and the Bluetooth
LED will flash, go to the Bluetooth settings of the source audio device, and
enable Bluetooth connectivity. The DA11ABL-WP-EU will appear in the list of
available devices. The Bluetooth LED will turn solid when a device is
paired.
To remove any paired devices from the unit, press and hold the Pair button for 5 seconds. The LED will turn off when devices are un-paired.
Dante® Controller
Dante® Controller software is required in order to set up
and configure the DA11ABL-WP-EU 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 your DA11ABL-WP-EU to a compatible network, the Dante®
Controller software should
automatically discover the device. The DA11ABL-WP-EU will appear in the Dante®
Controller with a name
prefixed with “DA11ABL-WP-EU”. On the “Routing” screen you can create audio
routing between Dante® transmitters and receivers in the system.
Please ensure your PC is on the same network as your
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 DA11ABL-WP-EU is shipped with its network settings set to obtain an IP address automatically. This means that if a DHCP server is present on your network, it will provide the DA11ABL- WP-EU with an IP address. If no DHCP server is present then the DA11ABL-WP-EU will receive a default IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.
To change the IP address of the DA11ABL-WP-EU, you must 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 DA11ABL-WP-EU under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante® Controller software. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu.
The sample rate of the DA11ABL-WP-EU 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 we can also adjust the latency of the DA11ABL-WP-EU from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
