DA 11 A B L- WP- EU – V 2
Quick Reference Guide
Introduction
The DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 is a multi-input / output wall plate to convert Bluetooth and analogue audio within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 converts 2 input channels of Bluetooth or unbalanced audio to Dante® digital audio, and 2 channels of Dante® audio to 2 x output channels of unbalanced audio. The DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 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 DA11ABLWP-EU-V2 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 and output gain from +20dBu to -28 dBV via web GUI or API
- Dante® Audio Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 & 96 KHz sample rates @ 16, 24 & 32 Bit
- Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10ms 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 (not included) for when network switch does not support PoE
- White magnetic faceplate surround allowing for both UK & EU backbox compatibility
- In-built web-GUI for configuration and control
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows for up to 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-V2, press the Pair
button on the unit, go to the Bluetooth settings of the source audio device,
and enable Bluetooth connectivity. The DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 will appear in the
list of available devices.
Dante Controller
Dante Controller software is required in order to setup and configure the
DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 as well as control your 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-V2 to a compatible network, the Dante
Controller software should automatically discover the device. The DA11ABL-WP-
EU-V2 will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA11ABL-
WP-EU-V2”. 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.
It is also
possible to change the settings of the DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 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 and the encoding bit rate of the DA11ABL-
WP-EU-V2. 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 sample rate may stop audio from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the
DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 from 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 milliseconds.
Web Interface Module
The DA11ABL-WP-EU-V2 features an in-built Web GUI which can be used for
control and configuration of the device.
By default the device is set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network
router) is not installed the device will receive a link local address in the
169.254.xxx.xxx range. The device info screen of Dante Controller will provide
you with the IP address information of each unit.
By accessing the IP address of the DA11ABL-
WP-EU-V2 in your web browser, you will gain access the units web GUI.
The following details will allow you to log in to the admin section:
Default Username is: blustream
Default Password is: 1234
This will give access to change the network settings as required, as well as
configure the device.
