Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel XLR Output Adapter

The Turtle AV Dante Dual Channel XLR Output Adapter converts two-channel Dante digital audio into balanced or unbalanced analog audio via XLR outputs, making it a powerful tool for integrating networked Dante audio into traditional analog systems. Built on the Dante Ultimo 2x2 platform, it ensures high fidelity, low-latency audio conversion for professional installations, live sound, broadcast, corporate AV, and media systems.

This adapter supports Dante digital audio at 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz (16 or 24 bit), and outputs analog audio via dual XLR channels with selectable sensitivity and gain control. Output levels reach up to +18 dBu (balanced), matching standard pro audio line-level expectations and ensuring clean, noise-resistant analog signals for amplifiers, mixers, or powered speakers. It also offers flexible power options, accepting PoE through its RJ45 Dante input or external USB-C power, simplifying installation in racks, media closets, or mobile rigs.

Compact and durable, the adapter features a robust chassis, configurable Dante latency (1 ms, 2 ms, or 5 ms), and full compatibility with Dante Controller and AES67 — making it ideal for bridging the gap between modern Dante networks and conventional analog audio infrastructure.
