2x2 Bluetooth/Analog RCA or 3.5mm to Dante® Converter Wall Plate
(US 2-Gang)

What input sources does the VLDT-WP22B2AUS support?

The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports three selectable input sources: Bluetooth 5.1 wireless audio, analog audio via RCA stereo port, and analog audio via 3.5mm stereo audio jack. At any time, one input source is active and routed to the Dante® network — source selection is handled via the front-panel button, the built-in web GUI, or TCP/IP API commands. This makes the VLDT-WP22B2AUS the most versatile Dante® wall plate in the VigilLink line, capable of serving wireless BYOD users and permanently wired analog sources from the same installation point.

Can the RCA and 3.5mm outputs operate at the same time?

Yes. Both the RCA analog output and the 3.5mm analog output operate simultaneously, both carrying the same Dante® return signal converted to unbalanced analog. This allows a single wall plate to feed two separate local destinations at once — for example, a room amplifier via RCA and a personal monitor or recording interface via 3.5mm — without additional signal splitting hardware. Both outputs share the same software-selectable output gain setting (+20dBu, +4dBu, 0dBu, 0dBV, or -10dBV).

How do I adjust the analog input and output levels?

Analog input sensitivity is software-selectable across six levels: +18dBu, +4dBu, 0dBu, 0dBV, -10dBV, and -18dBV. Analog output gain is software-selectable across five levels: +20dBu, +4dBu, 0dBu, 0dBV, and -10dBV. Both are configured through the built-in web GUI or Dante® Controller, accessible from any browser on the network. This wide range covers everything from professional broadcast equipment (+18dBu) to consumer devices and mobile phones (-10dBV / -18dBV) — eliminating the need for external pads, transformers, or gain stages to match signal levels.

How many Bluetooth devices can connect simultaneously?

The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports simultaneous connection of up to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time. Both devices remain connected and ready, with source switching available from the front-panel PAIR button or web GUI — enabling two wireless presenters to stay connected without disconnecting and re-pairing between turns. Volume control (0–100), previous/next track, and pause functions are available from each connected Bluetooth device independently.

What Bluetooth codecs are supported?

The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX-LL (Low Latency), and aptX-HD Bluetooth codecs. The device and connected source automatically negotiate the highest-quality mutual codec. For applications requiring lowest wireless delay — such as synchronized video playback or live switching — aptX-LL minimizes Bluetooth latency to approximately 40ms from compatible source devices. For the highest audio quality from high-resolution source material, aptX-HD supports up to 192kHz/24-bit wireless audio into the Dante® network.

Does this work with AES67 systems?

Yes. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports AES67 RTP audio transport, enabling interoperability with networked audio systems from other manufacturers including Ravenna, Livewire, Q-LAN, and other AES67-compatible platforms — in addition to native Dante® devices. This makes it compatible with mixed-protocol networked audio environments common in broadcast facilities, performing arts venues, and higher education campuses where multiple manufacturers' systems coexist on the same network infrastructure.

What is the difference between the VLDT-WP22B2AUS and the VLDT-BT2WPUS?

The VLDT-BT2WPUS is a 1-Gang wall plate that converts Bluetooth audio only into Dante® — it has no analog wired inputs or outputs. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS is a 2-Gang wall plate that adds RCA and 3.5mm analog inputs alongside Bluetooth, and also includes RCA and 3.5mm analog outputs for bidirectional Dante® audio conversion in a single unit. Choose the VLDT-BT2WPUS for clean, discreet Bluetooth-only BYOD integration where physical footprint matters. Choose the VLDT-WP22B2AUS where you need both wireless and wired source flexibility at a single wall position, plus the ability to return Dante® audio to local analog outputs at the same location.

Can the VLDT-WP22B2AUS be integrated with a control system?

Yes. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports TCP/IP API control for integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other IP-controllable AV control systems. This enables control system programmers to manage input source selection, Bluetooth pairing, and volume control from a centralized touch panel or automation system. The built-in web GUI provides the same full management capability from any network browser, and Dante® Controller handles all audio routing and latency configuration for the Dante® network side.

Why Choose Dante® Networking for Professional AV?

Dante® has become the de facto standard for professional networked audio because it runs on standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure that most facilities already have in place. Where traditional analog or AES3 digital audio requires dedicated point-to-point wiring for every connection, a single Cat6 cable running to a network switch can carry hundreds of Dante® audio channels simultaneously, dramatically reducing installation complexity and cost.

For AV integrators and system designers, Dante® delivers key practical advantages: any Dante® device on the network can send audio to any other Dante® device without physical rewiring; routing changes are made entirely in software using the free Dante® Controller application; and the open ecosystem of over 600 manufacturers means console, DSP, amplifier, recorder, and bridge products from different brands interoperate seamlessly. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS extends this ecosystem to the wall plate level — bridging Bluetooth wireless devices, consumer analog equipment, and professional sources into Dante® at the point of use, while simultaneously returning Dante® program audio back to analog at the same location.
