Dante® 2-Channel Line Output Adapter
KanexPro AUD-DTE-LINEOUT converts Dante 2CH digital audio to balanced/unbalanced analog output. 5-level gain, PoE/USB-C powered, Ultimo 2x2, 96kHz/24bit…
Convert Dante digital audio to balanced or unbalanced analog line output with studio-grade fidelity. The KanexPro AUD-DTE-LINEOUT is a compact 2-channel Dante line output adapter built on the Dante Ultimo 2x2 platform. It receives Dante digital audio over a standard IP network and converts it to two channels of balanced or unbalanced analog audio through a 6-pin phoenix connector — ideal for permanent installations feeding amplifiers, powered speakers, and legacy audio equipment. Five discrete gain levels (+18dBu, +4dBu, 0dBu, 0dBV, -10dBV) cover every professional and consumer reference standard. Dual power options — PoE (802.3af Class 0) and USB-C (5V/500mA) — eliminate the need for external power supplies.

Questions
- How does this differ from the AUD-DTE-XLROUT?
- LINEOUT uses phoenix connectors for permanent install; XLROUT uses XLR tails for live/portable use.
- Does it support AES67?
- Built on Dante Ultimo 2x2. AES67 depends on shipping firmware — confirm with KanexPro.
- Pair with LINEIN?
- Yes. LINEIN encodes analog to Dante, LINEOUT decodes. Bidirectional system.
- Works with other Dante devices?
- Yes. Fully interoperable with all Dante-certified devices.
- Can it run without PoE?
- Yes, USB-C 5V/500mA from any standard adapter.
- Max cable run?
- 328ft (100m) over CAT6/6A/7.
- No audio from amplifier?
- Check Dante Controller routing, phoenix wiring, and gain knob setting.
- Not in Dante Controller?
- Verify PoE port, same subnet, try RESET button.
- Multi-zone deployments?
- Yes. One per zone, all PoE powered, centrally managed via Dante Controller.
- What sampling rates?
- 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96kHz at 24-bit.
