Introduction

6301DT is a compact monitor with built-in amplifier equipped with Dante function and performs various types of monitoring.

Features

The cone–shaped, full-range speaker produces stable sound.
As the speaker is compact and consists of a single unit, it can be placed anywhere.
The speaker uses a tough, aluminum die cast enclosure.
Switches and knobs do not protrude from the panel to prevent damage caused if the speaker falls over.
Equipped with a switching power circuit compatible with 100 V to 240 V AC power supplies.
6301DT is designed to output either or both of any two-channel digital signals out of Dante network signals. Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz.
By attaching wall mounting bracket EB-6301 (sold separately) to the unit, you can both adjust the angle of the unit and fix it to walls.

Dante Network and System
