Turtle Dante 2CH Analog XLR Output Adapter with Gain Controls

Turtle AV

Dante Dual XLR Output

The Turtle Dante 2CH Analogue XLR Output Adapter (TAV‑D2XDE) converts Dante® digital audio into two channels of high-quality analogue output via balanced XLR connectors. Built on the Dante Ultimo 2×2 platform, it supports 24-bit audio at sample rates up to 96 kHz and features jumper-selectable output levels for integration with a wide range of professional equipment. Powered via PoE or USB‑C, it is the ideal solution for AV installations, live events, and broadcast workflows where pristine output quality and reliability are essential.

Highlighted Features

  • 2-Channel XLR Output: Delivers balanced analogue audio over dual XLR connectors for professional interfacing with amplifiers, mixers, and recording systems.
  • Selectable Output Gain: Jumper-configurable output levels: +18 dBu, +4 dBu, 0 dBu, 0 dBV, –10 dBV, allowing tailored signal strength per channel.
  • Dante Controller Compatible: Set gain, channel routing, and latency preferences through Audinate’s Dante Controller software.
  • Dual Powering Options: Supports IEEE 802.3af PoE and USB‑C power input for flexible deployment across AV environments.
  • Low Latency Processing: Adjustable latency settings down to 1 ms ensure tight synchronisation in time-critical applications.
  • Eco-Conscious Build: Compact, hardwearing chassis constructed from 90% recycled plastic, including ocean-bound materials.
  • Network Interoperability: Fully compliant with both Dante and AES67 protocols for seamless audio distribution across hybrid networks.


The TAV‑D2XDE is purpose-built to provide pristine audio performance in any Dante-based system requiring professional analogue output. Its compact footprint, robust construction, and power efficiency make it an excellent fit for fixed installs, road cases, or OB rigs where every watt and inch count.
