Product Description

Professional Analog-to-Dante® Audio Interface with Adjustable Sensitivity

The VigilLink Dante® 2CH XLR Input Adapter is a compact, high-performance audio transmitter that converts balanced or unbalanced analog XLR audio into 2-channel Dante® digital audio, enabling seamless integration of traditional audio sources into modern IP-based networks.

Built on the reliable Dante® Ultimo 2x2 platform, this adapter ensures high-quality digital transmission across standard network infrastructure. It features five levels of input sensitivity adjustment, allowing for precise gain control based on source signal levels—ideal for microphones, mixers, or other professional audio equipment.

Designed for installation flexibility, the adapter supports both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and local USB-C power, making it suitable for fixed or portable AV setups. Its compact form factor is perfect for applications such as corporate AV, live sound, education, and worship environments where analog-to-network audio conversion is needed with minimal hassle.
