Datasheet

One note of interest: the dedicated charging port derives
its power from the Ethernet with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
connection. While the Model 5204’s audio and data circuitry
takes very little energy, the dedicated charging port can
source up to approximately 5 watts. As such, the Model 5204’s
Ethernet interface will identify itself to upstream power-
sourcing-equipment (PSE), typically an Ethernet switch with
integrated PoE, as a PoE class 3 powered device (PD).
Dante Audio-over-Ethernet
Audio data is sent from the Model 5204 using the Dante
Audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology. As a

Dante-compliant device, the Model 5204’s two audio channels
can be assigned to other devices using the Dante Controller
software application. Bit depths of up to 24 and sample rates
of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz are supported. Two bi-color LEDs
provide an indication of the Dante connection status. The
Model 5204 uses Audinate’s Ultimo™ integrated circuit for
implementing Dante. The integrated circuit’s firmware can be
updated via the Ethernet connection, helping to ensure that
its capabilities remain up to date.
