Quick Reference Guide
Introduction
The DA11XLR is a multi-input XLR to Dante® networked audio system. The DA11XLR
converts 2 input channels of balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio with switchable
48V Phantom power to Dante® digital audio.
The DA11XLR 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.

- Converts 2 x balanced / unbalanced / MIC audio sources to Dante® audio channels
- Switchable 48V Phantom power for each MIC XLR input
- Adjustable MIC / line sensitivity from +24dBu to -28dBV for each XLR input
- 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 0 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch
- Local 12V power supply input for when network switch does not support PoE*

Dante Controller
Dante Controller software is required in order to setup and configure the
DA11XLR 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 DA11XLR to a compatible network, the Dante Controller
software should automatically discover the device. The DA11XLR will appear in
the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA11XLR”. 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 DA11XLR 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 DA11XLR.
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 DA11XLR
from 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 milliseconds.
Web Interface Module
The DA11XLR 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 DA11XLR in your web browser, you will
gain access the 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 provide access to change the network settings to meet your systems
requirements.
