The Kopul DAN-AIXF2 XLR Dante Network Adapterenables you to incorporate analog audio gear you already own into your Dante network. With plug-and-play operation, the DAN-AIXF2 is automatically discovered by the network and ready to use once connected, making it easy to send highly detailed and clock-accurate audio to an analog mixing board, power amplifier, or powered speakers over Dante.

The DAN-AIXF2 connects to the network via its RJ45 Ethernet port. You can input two balanced, line-level analog audio signals from a keyboard, DI box, or mixing board via its two 3-pin, XLR-F connectors. The adapter delivers two channels of high-quality audio with configurable gain and attenuation, up to 24-bit / 96 kHz A/D conversion, high SNR, low THD, and a wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

The DAN-AIXF2 is PoE powered. It supports Dante Audio over IP and AES67 RTP transport formats and is compatible with Dante Domain Manager (DDM).

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this provide phantom power to mics that require it?

A: 'No' ... it is strictly a passive unit!

Q: 2. What's the dynamic range?

A: The GH5, B&H # PADCGH5, which is the camera this item works with offers 10 stops of Dynamic Range. You can expand that to 12 stops with the V-Log Activation, B&H # PADMWSFU1VLO.

Q: 3. Does this record 2 channels of audio into the gh5? 1, being line One. 2, being line Two. Rather than baking both mics into a single track, so that way I can have better mixing control in editing.

A: Yes it records two separate channels . I used it yesterday for the first time, recording a wireless mic on channel 1 and a shotgun mic on channel two. I had flawless perfect audio.

Q: 4. Will this card work on MAC pro 5.1?

A: I would not recommend using this card with a Mac, as driver issues may render the card inoperable.

Q: 5. Will this work with the newer GH5 II?

A: The Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter is compatible with the Panasonic Lumix GH5 II Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 6. Does it work with Asus Maximus VI Formula motherboard?

A: Yes, the ASUS XG-C100C 10GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter BH #ASXGC100C is compatible with the Asus Maximus VI Formula so as long as you have an open space for it.

Q: 7. Will the DMW-XLR1 work with the new Panasonic S1?

A: The DMW-XLR1 does work on the Panasonic S1.

Q: 8. Will this work with a Sony A6400?

A: Yes, the Kopul CMX-2-V2 Two-Channel Passive DSLR XLR Adapter is compatible for use with the 3.5 mm TRS stereo microphone input on the Sony a6400 Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 9. I want to use my coax to hard wire my Apple tv via ethernet. Is this plug n play or will i have to call my internet provider to activate a new port? I have a coaxial modem in one room but not where I need it to be. Will this network adapter be in conflict with my modem?

A: That's exactly what I did and things worked fine - no conflict with modem at all, it was essentially plug and play. I also put a third one in so I have three rooms connected by the coax adapters: my office (with computers, printers, cable modem to Internet etc.); home theater room with internet-connected TV, appleTV and Blue ray player; and a third room with another TV. All are happy as clams.

Q: 10. What is the impedance on the input and output? Is it transformer isolated?

A: The input and output impedances are not listed. These would typically be high impedance on the input and high impedance on the output. ( probably 10 kohm in and 1kohm on out ). There is no transformers in this device.

[24-Bit] We installed this piece on our Dante network to add an audio connection to an auxiliary building about 300 to 350 ft away from the main building (head end). It worked perfectly and has had zero problems since it's installation. We would have purchased the two channel model, had it been available at the time of purchase. 5

[24-Bit] I had to set up music for an office X-mas party that spanned 3 floors and wanted to use the same audio signal simultaneously. I had not used Dante before. I set the transmitter and receivers up at home before the gig, using the free controller software. Everything connected and worked perfectly at home, then the next day at the job. Great solution! 5

[5.6 oz / 159 g] Used this for a balanced headphone amp off of the Dante network. Works great! Allows for two separate channels as stated. No issues. 5

[0.46 lb] The AVIO works just like you would imagine. Plug into the network, assign what you want in Dante Controller, and presto. Really terrific tool to have whether you need to add a last minute speaker or just working on a quick project and only need two outputs. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. 5

Alexander	17/08/2024
[ABS] I am using a these (along with Dante Via) to convert a relatively inexpensive set of active speakers into Dante enabled speakers. Only con so far is that the AVIO adapter is larger than I expected, but definitely not a deal breaker. Pros include near infinite (not really, some limit) speaker runs using Ethernet cable (also must have POE); no ground loop him (digital signal); and the AVIO device can serve as a Dante clock device. 5

[>100 dB] This thing works perfect. Hook it up to your network with POE, and it shows up in Dante Controller just like its supposed to, then works without another thought! Indicator lights by the RJ-45 are handy to be sure everything is working. Were using this with a POE injector, and there are no problems. Welcome to the future! 5

Gannon	08/06/2024
[>100 dB] We recently used this in our large church building to send audio from our Dante-enabled mixer in our main auditorium to the nursery. They are about 300' apart, so pulling audio cable would have been difficult and time-consuming, but since we had network throughout the building already, this device made it simple. Plus, since it's digital audio, there's no chance for extraneous noise to be added over long cable runs. We also utilize video-over-ip, so our switches are already set up for POE and multicast with IGMP snooping, and this device works flawlessly with that configuration. Dante controller makes it easy to route audio and multicast streams, so we're able to distribute to multiple overflow locations easily and without hogging a lot of bandwidth. We plan to use these devices often in our upcoming building expansion, and it will save lots of time and money not having to pull audio cable and buy distribution amps. 5

[3.15 W (Max)] I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to configure this with my New M1 MacBook Air. Audiante said they would have support towards the end of 2021, not sure why the long delay as complicated apps like Adobe already have started their transition. This adaptor is great for transmitting audio with zero perceptible latency over the network. You'll need a POE+ switch or power source, and your laptop must also be connected via ethernet since Dante doesn't work over WiFi. 5
