RDL RU-LB2

The RDL RU-LB2 is a two-way bridge between analog line-level audio and a Dante network. It converts two balanced line-level sources into two Dante network channels, and at the same time returns two Dante network channels to balanced line-level outputs, so one compact module both feeds a Dante system and pulls audio back out of it. Built into a durable all-metal enclosure, it is designed for continuous duty free-standing, surface-mounted or rack-mounted, and is engineered and made in the U.S.A.

The network connects on an RJ45 running Dante at 100 Mbps, with 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rate (48 kHz default) at 24-bit depth. Analog inputs and outputs are balanced on detachable terminal blocks at +4 dBu nominal, corresponding to a -18 dBFS network level, and each input has a front-panel gain trimmer with a Dual-LED VU meter for setting level. Frequency response runs 20 Hz to 20 kHz, THD+N stays below 0.05 percent, and the analog stages provide over 18 dB of headroom with low crosstalk.
