AUD-DTE-2CHAMP

150W Class D Dante Amplifier with DSP — Lo-Z / Hi-Z / 70V/100V

Deliver Dante network audio directly to speakers with a compact, DSP-equipped Class D amplifier. The AUD-DTE-2CHAMP decodes Dante audio and drives Lo-Z (4Ω/8Ω) stereo speakers or Hi-Z (70V/100V) distributed ceiling speaker lines — with balanced analog I/O for legacy integration. Built-in DSP: 31-band GEQ, per-output delay, 5 presets. Control via RS-232, LAN, and Web GUI.

Output Mode Selection

⚠ Important

Select the correct mode before connecting speakers. Switching modes with speakers connected may cause damage.

ModeConfigurationBest For

Dante Setup

  1. Connect DANTE RJ45 port to managed switch on Dante VLAN with IGMP snooping + QoS DSCP EF (46)
  2. Open Dante Controller — AUD-DTE-2CHAMP appears as a discoverable device
  3. Subscribe the amplifier’s Dante input channels to the desired transmitter (encoder, matrix card, or other Dante source)
  4. The Dante output (LINE OUT) can also be subscribed to by other Dante receivers for zone loop-through

DSP & Control

Access via Web GUI (enter device IP) or RS-232/TCP-IP command set:

  • 31-band GEQ: −10 to +10dB per band. Save to any of 5 presets.
  • Per-output delay (0–50ms): Time-align speakers with different distances.
  • Input gain: Set independently per source (Dante vs analog).
  • Master volume: Adjustable via Web GUI, RS-232, or TCP/IP for control system integration.
  • Presets: 5 complete configurations — recall via RS-232 command or Web GUI.
