Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel Analog Line Input Adapter

The Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel Analog Line Input Adapter converts two-channel balanced or unbalanced analog audio into Dante digital audio, enabling seamless integration of legacy analog sources into modern Dante network audio systems. With support for up to 24-bit / 96 kHz sampling, this adapter delivers pristine audio quality for installations requiring reliable analog-to-digital conversion. Whether you are connecting a mixer, audio console, or analog playback device, this adapter provides a professional solution for network audio integration.

Built on the Dante Ultimo chipset, the adapter supports 2-channel Dante output (and AES67 where applicable) and offers flexible latency settings (1, 2, or 5 ms) via Dante Controller, giving you precise control over synchronization in complex networked audio setups. Input gain is adjustable across five sensitivity levels to accommodate a wide range of analog signal levels — from line-level devices to consumer outputs — ensuring optimal audio performance without distortion or noise.

Compact, rugged, and power-efficient, the adapter supports PoE over RJ45 or USB-C power input, making installation simple even in rackmount setups or wall-box installations. Its small form factor and balanced input capability make it ideal for live sound, broadcast, corporate AV, or any project where analog equipment needs to interface with Dante digital audio infrastructure.
