RDL RU-LB2P

The RDL RU-LB2P is the Power-over-Ethernet version of the RU-LB2, 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 while returning two Dante channels to balanced line-level outputs, so one module both feeds a Dante system and pulls audio back out of it. Drawing its power over the same Ethernet cable that carries Dante means no local supply and one less cable to run, which makes it a clean fit for remote wall plates and ceiling locations. It ships in a durable all-metal enclosure for free-standing, surface or rack mounting, 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. 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.
