BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 is a multi-input/output wall plate to convert Bluetooth and analog audio within a digital Dante® networked audio system. The BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 converts 2 input channels of Bluetooth or unbalanced audio to Dante® digital audio, and 2 channels of Dante® audio to 2 x output channels of unbalanced audio.

The BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet), or via 12V power supply, offers support for AES67 RTP audio transport and magnetic faceplate design allows installation into most single-gang US junction boxes. The DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 is the ideal BYOD interface to allow any Bluetooth device to stream audio wirelessly to a Dante® audio system.

• Dante® network wall plate interface for Bluetooth and analog L/R audio inputs, and L/R audio outputs

• Converts 2ch Bluetooth, or un-balanced audio sources to Dante® audio

• Converts 2x Dante® audio channels to un-balanced audio outputs

• Adjustable input sensitivity from +24dBu to -28dBV (analog input only), and output gain from +20dBu to -28 dBV via web GUI or API

• Dante® Audio Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 & 96KHz sample rates @ 16, 24 & 32-bit

• Configurable Dante® device latency (supports 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10ms configurable using Dante® Controller)

• Supports AES67 RTP audio transport

• Features Class 0 IEEE 802.3af PoE for powering of product from any PoE switch

• Supports power via 12V DC adapter (not included) for when network switch does not support PoE

• White magnetic faceplate surround and US Decora style backbox compatibility

• In-built web-GUI for configuration and control

Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows for up to 2x simultaneous connections from source audio devices, where the selected devices audio is received and sent into the Dante network.

To connect a Bluetooth enabled device to the BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2, press the Pair button on the unit, go to the Bluetooth settings of the source audio device, and enable Bluetooth connectivity. The DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 will appear in the list of available devices.

Dante Controller software is required in order to setup and configure the BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2. Upon connecting your DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 to a compatible network, the Dante Controller software should automatically discover the device. The DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA11ABL-WP-US-V2”. On the “Routing” screen you can create audio routing between Dante transmitters and receivers in your system.

Please ensure the PC is on the same network as the 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 software so it is recommended to disable WiFi during configuration.

It is possible to change the settings of the BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante Controller software. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu.

Here you can adjust the sample rate and the encoding bit rate of the DA11ABL-WP-US-V2. 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 you can also adjust the latency of the DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 from 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 milliseconds.

The BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 features an in-built web-GUI which can be used for control and configuration of the device. By default the device is set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the device will receive a link local address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. The device info screen of Dante Controller will provide you with the IP address information of each unit. By accessing the IP address of the DA11ABL-WP-US-V2 in your web browser, you will gain access the units web-GUI.

The Dante Controller Network View displays a list of devices on the network. For the BLUSTREAM DA11ABL-WP-US-V2, it will show information such as its Device Name, Model Name, Product Version, Dante Version, Primary Address, and Primary Link Speed. An example is provided in the table below:

Device Name	Model Name	Product Version	Dante Version	Primary Address	Primary Link Speed	Secondary Address	Secondary Link Speed
DA11ABL-WP-US-V2-271c4f	DA11ABL-WP-US-V2	1.0.1	1.3.1.1	169.254.64.197	100Mbps	N/A	N/A
LAPTOP-VM9H9BGN	Dante Virtual Soundcard	4.4.1.3	4.4.1.3	169.254.0.222	1Gbps	N/A	N/A
