BLUSTREAM DA22DIG Digital & Analogue Dante Converter
Introduction
- Our DA22DIG has been designed to both encode 2ch analog or digital audio to a Dante® digital signal and decode a Dante® digital signal to 2ch analog and digital audio.
- The DA22DIG features both analog audio and digital audio connections, is selectable via dip-switch, and is a plug-and-play device that is powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet), or via a 12V power supply.
- The DA22DIG also features support for microphones including 48V phantom power, as well as support for AES67 RTP audio transport.
FEATURES:
- Encodes 2ch analog audio or digital audio to Dante® digital signal
- Decodes a Dante® digital signal to 2ch analog audio and digital audio
- Selectable digital audio between optical toslink and coaxial RCA inputs
- Configurable MIC audio input with 48V phantom power
- Independent sensitivity control for input channels, and gain control for output channels
- 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 3 IEEE 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch
- Supports power via 12V DC adapter (supplied) for when the network switch does not support PoE

- Dante® Network Connection (PoE) – RJ45 connection to connect to a network switch
- Power Port – Use included 12V/1A DC adaptor when PoE is not available to power device
Input Sensitivity / Output Gain
- The DA22DIG features rotary dials that allow you to adjust 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 16 hexadecimal switch positions.
- The input sensitivity or output gain level will correspond to the position as per the table adjacent (also printed on the underside of the device itself).
- Please note: Due to the low input signal from microphones, when input selection is set to MIC, switch positions 0-8 are fixed to 0dB and it is recommended to use Input Sensitivity DIP switches from 8 to F to avoid clipping of the input signal.

Dante® Controller
- Dante® Controller software is required to set up and configure the DA22DIG as well as control the 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 DA22DIG to a compatible network, the Dante® Controller software should automatically discover the device.
- The DA22DIG will appear in the Dante® Controller with a name prefixed with “DA22DIG”. 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 DA22DIG 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 DA22DIG with an IP address.
- If no DHCP server is present then the DA22DIG will receive a default IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.
- To change the IP address of the DA22DIG, 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 DA22DIG under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante® Controller software. To do so, select the Device Config” menu.
- The sample rate of the DA22DIG 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 the sample rate may stop audio from transmitting.
- Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the DA22DIG from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
