01
Built for microphones
48V phantom power on each channel, five-step sensitivity (+24 / +4 / 0 dBu, 0 dBV, −10 dBV), and +24 dBu maximum input. Many converters in this class are line-level only.

DNT-XLR20
Two analog channels, onto the Dante network
The SONELINK DNT-XLR20 is a two-channel analog XLR-to-Dante encoder built on the Audinate Dante Ultimo 2x2 solution. It takes balanced or unbalanced analog audio — including microphones — and makes it available on a Dante network. Compact, with PoE or USB-C power and on-unit gain controls.
02
TAA compliant, 3-year advance replacement
Specified for procurement that requires TAA compliance. Advance replacement for three years, rather than a one-year return-to-factory repair.
03
Power and format flexibility
Powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 0) or USB-C 5V / 500 mA, 2 W maximum. 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz, 16/24/32-bit. Dante and AES67.
Where it goes to work
The same compact encoder covers fixed rooms, live events, schools, studios, and retrofit projects.
Conference rooms and lecture halls
Connect analog console outputs or microphones into a Dante system over a single network cable.
Theaters, stadiums, and touring
Bring a temporary source onto the main Dante network quickly. The unit weighs 180 g and can take power over PoE.
Schools and lecture capture
USB-C power works when a PoE switch is not available. Local audio goes onto the school Dante network.
Broadcast and studios
Encode at 96 kHz / 32-bit without replacing the existing analog chain.
Integration and retrofit
Add legacy analog equipment to a distributed Dante network. Transmission up to 100 m on CAT6 / CAT6A / CAT7.
