Turtle AV Dante 2CH Analog XLR Input Adapter with Gain Controls

Turtle AV

Dante Dual XLR Input

The Turtle Dante 2CH Analogue XLR Input Adapter (TAV‑D2XEN) offers high-fidelity two-channel conversion of analogue audio via XLR inputs into Dante® digital streams. Built on the proven Dante Ultimo 2×2 platform, it supports 16/24-bit resolution at sample rates up to 96 kHz, with configurable input sensitivity and low-latency operation. Designed for professional AV, broadcast, and commercial integration environments, it runs efficiently via PoE or USB‑C and is fully compatible with AES67 networks.

Highlighted Features

  • 2-Channel XLR Input: Balanced/unbalanced analogue audio via dual XLR connectors—ideal for microphones, mixers, or stage interfaces.
  • Selectable Input Gain: Jumper-selectable input sensitivity levels including +24 dBu, +4 dBu, 0 dBu, 0 dBV, and –10 dBV for maximum versatility.
  • Dante Controller Compatible: Configure gain, latency, and channel mapping using the intuitive Dante Controller interface.
  • Flexible Powering: Operates via PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or USB‑C, drawing less than 2 W for ultra-efficient installation.
  • Low Latency Operation: User-configurable latency settings ensure audio synchronisation across demanding real-time applications.
  • Sustainable Housing: Compact, durable casing made from 90% recycled materials including 5% ocean-bound plastics.
  • Standards-Based Compatibility: Supports both Dante and AES67 network audio protocols for seamless system integration.


The TAV‑D2XEN is the ideal solution for bridging professional analogue XLR audio sources into IP-based Dante or AES67 audio networks. Whether for permanent installs, mobile AV setups, or live production, it delivers uncompromising audio quality and reliability in an eco-conscious, space-saving format.
