The Turtle AV Mineola MICro — Dante Dual XLR Mic Preamp with DSP provides two channels of professional microphone preamplification with Dante network audio output in an ultra-compact 120 × 85 × 40mm metal enclosure designed for flexible mounting in installed AV environments. Two XLR/TRS combo inputs with 48V phantom power accept condenser and dynamic microphones and line-level sources, and six line-up level settings from -35dBV to +24dBu provide full input range coverage. The built-in DSP covers 8-band parametric EQ, compressor, expander, and delay for on-device processing before Dante transmission. Primary and secondary EtherCON RJ45 Dante ports support redundant network topologies, PoE Class 4 powers the device from the switch, and configurable 2–10ms Dante latency and AES67 support ensure compatibility across any Dante network. WebUI and Dante Controller provide remote configuration.
Key Features
- 2× XLR/TRS Combo Inputs: Two balanced/unbalanced XLR/TRS combo inputs accept microphone, instrument, and line-level signals in any combination
- 48V Phantom Power: 48V phantom power for condenser microphones at both XLR inputs
- 6 Line-Up Levels (-35dBV to +24dBu): Six selectable input level settings: -35dBV, -18dBV, 0dBV, +4dBu, +14dBu, +24dBu — covers the full range of professional audio sources
- 8-Band Parametric EQ: Full 8-band parametric EQ for input frequency correction and shaping before Dante transmission
- Compressor DSP: Built-in compressor for dynamic control at the input stage — reduces peak levels and improves intelligibility
- Expander DSP: Built-in expander reduces ambient noise and bleed between audio sources
- Configurable Delay (18ms): Adjustable delay for time-alignment with video and other audio sources across the Dante network
- Primary + Secondary Dante Ports: Two EtherCON RJ45 Dante ports for primary and secondary redundant Dante network connection
- PoE Class 4 IEEE 802.3af: Powered from the network switch via PoE — no local power supply required at the mount location
- 2–10ms Dante Latency, AES67: Configurable latency via Dante Controller and full AES67 RTP support for mixed-vendor Dante networks

Application Examples
| Lectern and Podium Mic Preamps | Mount inside lectern and podium furniture for a hidden Dante mic preamp at the source — connects condenser or dynamic mics directly to the Dante network |
| Ceiling-Mounted Mic Inputs | Deploy above suspended ceilings or behind wall panels as an invisible Dante mic input point for ceiling-mounted microphone arrays |
| Boardroom AV Infrastructure | Integrate as the mic preamp stage in a boardroom Dante audio infrastructure — processes and conditions the signal before it reaches the DSP or mixer on the network |
| Broadcast Remote Positions | Mount at talent positions in broadcast environments for a compact, redundant-network-capable Dante mic preamp at each presenter location |
