Our DA11USB has been designed to both encode 2ch USB audio to a Dante®
digital signal, and decode a Dante® digital signal to 2ch USB audio. The DA11USB
features both USB Type-B and USB-C connections selectable via local dip-switch
and is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power Over Ethernet) or via
5V from the USB device. The DA11USB also supports AES67 RTP audio transport.

Dante Controller
Dante Controller soware is required in order to setup and configure the DA11USB as well as control your Dante
network. Audinate provide extensive training videos and documentation on their website. This can be found here:
http://www.audinate.com/products/soware/dante-controller
Upon connecting your DA11USB to a compatible network, the Dante Controller soware should automatically
discover the device. The DA11USB will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA11USB”. On the
“Routing” screen you can create audio routing between Dante transmitters and receivers in your system.
Please ensure your PC is on the same network as your Dante devices. Dante is not able to transmit over WiFi and it
is recommended to hardwire into the Dante network. Having multiple network devices enabled can also confuse
the Dante Controller soware so it is recommended to disable WiFi during configuration.
By default the DA11USB is shipped with its network settings set to obtain an IP Address automatically. This means
that if a DHCP server is present on your network, it will provide the DA11USB with an IP Address. If no DHCP server
is present then the DA11USB will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. To change the IP Address
of the DA11USB, you must enter the “Network Config” menu in the “Device Info” screen of the Dante Controller
soware.

Advanced Dante Settings
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA11USB under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante Controller
soware. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu.
Here we can adjust the sample rate of the DA11USB. Please note that Dante products can only transmit or receive
audio from other Dante products that are set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate may stop
audio from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the DA11USB from 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds.
