User Guide
Introduction
Our DA11ADE has been designed to decode a Dante® digital signal to unbalanced or balanced 2ch analogue audio. The DA11ADE is a plug & play device that is powered using either PoE (Power Over Ethernet) from any PoE network switch or via local 12v power supply input. The DA11ADE also supports AES67 RTP audio transport.
FEATURES:
- Decodes a Dante® digital signal to unbalanced or balanced 2ch analogue audio
- Supports 44.1, 48 & 96 kHz sample rates @ 24 Bit
- Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 1, 2 or 5ms configurable using Dante® Controller)
- Supports AES67 RTP audio transport
- Features Class 1 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch
- Local 12v power supply input for when the network switch does not support PoE*
- PS121PH power supply sold separately

Connections:
- Dante® Audio Input – RJ45 socket connects the Dante® network.
- DC Input – Connect to +12VDC power supply (not supplied) if device is not powered via a PoE switch
- Audio Output – Phoenix Connector accepts balanced or unbalanced 2-channel audio output.
Dante Controller
Dante Controller software is required in order to set up and configure the
DA11ADE as well as control your Dante network. Audinate provides extensive
training videos and documentation on its website. This can be found here:
http://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
Upon connecting your DA11ADE to a compatible network, the Dante Controller
software should automatically discover the device. The DA11ADE will appear in
the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “BLS”. On the “Routing” screen
you can create audio routing between Dante transmitters and receivers in your
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.
By default, the DA11ADE 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 DA11ADE with an IP Address. If no DHCP server is present then the DA11ADE will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. To change the IP Address of the DA11ADE, you must enter the “Network Config” menu in the “Device Info” screen of the Dante Controller software.
Advanced Dante Settings
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA11ADE under the “Device
Info” screen in the Dante Controller software. To do so, select the “Device
Config” menu.
Here we can adjust the sample rate of the DA11ADE. Please note that Dante
products can only transmit or receive audio from other Dante products that are
set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in the sample rate may stop audio
from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the DA11ADE
from 1, 2, or 5 milliseconds.
Gain Adjustment
Depending on the connected audio device, it may be necessary to adjust the
gain or output sensitivity.
The DA11ADE features a 5-pin switch on the side of the device to adjust the
output gain of each channel from various settings between +24dBu to -10dBV.
| SWITCH POSITION | OUTPUT SENSITIVITY |
|---|---|
| 1 | +18dBu |
| 2 | +4dBu |
| 3 | +0dBu |
| 4 | 0dBV |
| 5 | -10dBV |
