DAN-TX

S TE RE O d a n T E a u d i O T R a n S m i T T E R

The Radial DAN-TX™ is a stereo direct box designed to connect instruments, laptops,

tablets, or any line level source to a Dante™ network. Interfacing with a Dante network

is easy – simply connect its Ethernet jack to any networked audio system using standard

Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Multiple analog inputs are provided, including dual ¼”, RCA and 3.5mm

inputs. When connecting a single-channel instrument such as a bass or acoustic guitar, an

instrument switch converts one of the ¼” jacks to a “Thru”. This allows the player to connect

to their amp for local monitoring like a typical DI box. With stereo sources, the selection

of inputs provide an easy way to connect any device, whether it be a stereo keyboard or

a tablet. The ¼” inputs will accept both balanced (TRS) for professional equipment, and

unbalanced (TS) connectors for instruments or consumer gear. Levels can be controlled

locally via an input trim pot that offers +/-10dB of control, with an additional -18dB pad that

can be utilized when required. The DAN-TX can accept input levels up to +24dBu, and uses

24bit/96kHz processing to convert these analog signals to the Dante protocol.

RCA INPUTS - Provided

for connection to CD/

DVD players and

other consumer level

playback devices. Wired

in parallel with the ¼”

and 3.5mm inputs.

1/4” INPUTS - When

set to INST the ¼”

stereo inputs are

reconfigured as a mono

instrument input with a

Thru output.

TRIM - Adjustable

Trim control to set

input levels, with uni-

ty gain at 12 o’clock.

Provides -10dB

of cut or +10dB of

gain at the min/max

settings.

3.5mm INPUT -

Stereo TRS input

for use with laptops,

tablets and phones.

Wired in parallel

with the ¼” and RCA

inputs.

POWER - 15VDC

connection for use with

included Radial power

adapter when PoE is

not available.

+15V LED - Will

illuminate when the

DAN-TX is connected to

the included DC power

adapter.

PoE - Will illuminate when

the DAN-TX is receiving

Power over Ethernet (PoE).

SIG/CLIP LEDs - Will illuminate when

input signal is detected. LED color will

change to red when clipping is detected.

SYS & SYNC LED –

Status LEDs to

indicate connections

and slave or master

mode.

ETHERNET - Used

DAN-TX with balanced professional audio

The ¼” inputs on the DAN-TX are balanced

TRS jacks that allow for signal levels up to

+24dBu. Any balanced analog mixer, recorder

or playback source can be quickly connected to

a Dante network.

Using the DAN-TX for mono instruments

Switching to instrument mode changes the right

¼” connector to a Thru-put for connection to

a local amplier. Now your instrument can be

routed anywhere on a Dante network while still

allowing for local monitoring through the stage

amplier.

Using the DAN-TX for stereo instruments

Plug in your stereo keyboards, synths, laptops,

tablets or any other unbalanced consumer

device and route through the Dante network

without installing special software. Simply

connect to the ¼”, RCA or 3.5mm inputs.

LINE/INST - Select

between line level or

instrument level inputs.

PAD & HPF - PAD enables a -18dB input

pad for high output line level sources.

HPF enables a high-pass filter to roll off

frequencies below 80Hz.
