Professional Dante Wall Plate Audio Converters
VigilLink's Dante® wall plate converters integrate seamlessly into standard US electrical boxes, providing professional Dante network audio connectivity in a clean, architecturally-appropriate format. Available in 1-gang and 2-gang configurations, these wall plates accept Bluetooth, XLR, RCA, and 3.5mm audio sources, converting them to Dante network audio for distribution throughout your facility. Perfect for conference rooms, huddle spaces, classrooms, and hospitality environments where visible equipment would detract from interior design, our wall plate converters deliver full Dante functionality while maintaining the polished appearance clients expect.
Wall plate converters solve the critical challenge of providing flexible audio input options in finished spaces without exposing rack equipment or requiring users to access technical systems. Whether you need to accommodate BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios with Bluetooth connectivity, integrate legacy audio equipment via analog connections, or provide microphone inputs for presentations, VigilLink wall plate converters transform any standard wall box into a Dante network audio access point.
Why Choose VigilLink Dante Wall Plate Converters
Standard US Form Factors: 1-gang and 2-gang configurations fit standard electrical boxes, simplifying installation in new construction and retrofit applications without custom mounting solutions
Flexible Input Options: Models support Bluetooth wireless audio, XLR balanced microphone/line inputs, RCA stereo connections, and 3.5mm auxiliary inputs to accommodate diverse source equipment
PoE+ Powered: All models support Power over Ethernet, eliminating dedicated power circuits and enabling installation anywhere network cabling exists
Bidirectional Audio: Select models provide both Dante inputs and outputs, allowing wall plates to serve as both sources (sending to network) and destinations (receiving from network)
Bluetooth 5.0 Integration: Wireless models support modern Bluetooth codecs for high-quality audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, and laptops without cables
Professional Build Quality: Metal faceplates and secure connectors ensure reliability in commercial installations where equipment faces daily use by non-technical users
Choosing the Right Wall Plate Configuration:
Bluetooth + Analog Combo (VLDT-WP22B2AUS): 2-gang wall plate providing maximum flexibility with Bluetooth wireless input plus stereo RCA or 3.5mm analog connections. Ideal for conference rooms and meeting spaces where users need both wireless convenience and wired connection options. Bidirectional design supports both sending local sources to network and receiving network audio for local playback.
XLR Converter (VLDT-XL22WPUS): 2-gang wall plate with professional XLR inputs and outputs for balanced audio connections. Perfect for applications requiring microphone inputs, professional audio equipment integration, or installations where balanced connections are required for noise immunity. Supports phantom power on inputs for condenser microphones.
Bluetooth-Only (VLDT-BT2WPUS): Compact 1-gang wall plate dedicated to Bluetooth audio streaming. Ideal for small huddle rooms, hotel guest rooms, residential installations, or any application where wireless audio input is the primary requirement and minimal wall space is available. Simple user interface requires no technical knowledge.
Installation Considerations: 2-gang models require standard 2-gang electrical boxes (typically 4" square with 2-gang mud ring). 1-gang models fit any standard single-gang box. All models require single Cat6 cable for PoE+ power and Dante network connectivity. Plan wire pathways during construction or use surface-mount boxes for retrofit installations.
Ideal Applications
Corporate Conference Rooms & Meeting Spaces
Enable wireless presentation audio and wired connectivity in boardrooms and conference areas without visible equipment racks or complex user interfaces. Presenters stream audio from laptops or mobile devices via Bluetooth, while the room's AV system receives audio through the Dante network for distribution to amplifiers, recording systems, and remote participants. The combination Bluetooth/analog models provide fallback wired connections when wireless interference or device compatibility issues arise, ensuring meetings proceed without technical delays.
Educational Classrooms & Lecture Halls
Provide instructors with simple, reliable audio input options for classroom sound reinforcement and lecture capture. Wall-mounted XLR converters accept podium microphones or presentation audio, sending signals to the campus Dante network for recording, streaming, and distribution to assistive listening systems. Bluetooth models in smaller classrooms allow teachers to play educational content from personal devices without connecting cables, reducing setup time and technical support calls.
Hospitality & Hotel Guest Rooms
Transform standard hotel rooms into connected audio spaces where guests can stream music to in-room speakers through the property's Dante audio infrastructure. Single-gang Bluetooth wall plates provide simple connectivity that guests understand immediately, while the hotel maintains centralized control over audio distribution and volume limits. Installation in standard electrical boxes keeps clean aesthetics that upscale properties demand.
Huddle Spaces & Collaboration Areas
Equip small meeting rooms and informal collaboration spaces with instant audio connectivity for impromptu meetings and quick discussions. Compact 1-gang Bluetooth converters occupy minimal wall space while providing full Dante network integration, allowing ad-hoc audio sharing without dedicated AV equipment. PoE+ power means these spaces need only network infrastructure, no dedicated audio wiring or power circuits.
Houses of Worship & Performance Venues
Integrate congregation audio participation, performer inputs, and guest speaker connections into sanctuary and performance Dante networks through architecturally-appropriate wall plates. XLR models positioned at key locations accept microphones and instruments, while Bluetooth-enabled plates allow visiting clergy or performers to share audio content from personal devices. Clean wall-mounted installations maintain the aesthetic integrity of worship and performance spaces while providing technical flexibility.
