KanexPro offers five Dante input adapters, each designed to bring a different signal type onto the Dante network. All are PoE powered, 2-channel, and fully compatible with Dante Controller and AES67.

AUD-DTE-ECODE — Analog Line Input Encoder

AUD-DTE-ECODE  ·  $299.95  ·  PoE powered

Converts balanced or unbalanced stereo analog line-level audio to Dante. Accepts any line-level source: mixer outputs, DSP outputs, consumer/pro stereo sources. 5-level input sensitivity adjustment. Use when the source has standard line-level outputs (RCA, 3.5mm, or balanced terminals).

AUD-DTE-LINEIN — Analog Line Input Adapter

AUD-DTE-LINEIN  ·  $249.95  ·  PoE or USB-C powered

Compact balanced/unbalanced 2-channel analog line input. Similar function to AUD-DTE-ECODE with a more compact form factor and USB-C power option. Ideal where rack space is limited or PoE is unavailable.

AUD-DTE-XLRIN — XLR Input Adapter

AUD-DTE-XLRIN  ·  $249.95  ·  PoE powered

Converts professional 3-pin XLR balanced audio to Dante. Purpose-built for microphones, mixing consoles, stage boxes, and professional audio equipment. Choose when the source uses XLR connectors and professional balanced levels.

AUD-DTE-HDMI — HDMI to Dante Encoder

AUD-DTE-HDMI  ·  $249.95  ·  PoE powered

Extracts embedded audio from any HDMI source and presents it as a 2-channel Dante transmitter — no analog conversion, no signal loss. HDMI video passes through to the display. Eliminates the need for a separate audio de-embedder plus Dante adapter.

AUD-DTE-BT — Bluetooth Input Adapter

AUD-DTE-BT  ·  $249.95  ·  PoE powered

Streams Bluetooth 5.1 audio from any compatible device into the Dante network. APTX-LL (low latency) and APTX-HD (high resolution). For presenters, musicians, or guests who need to wirelessly contribute audio without a physical connection. Bluetooth input is wireless; Dante output is always wired.
