Product Description
The RDL SF - DN4 is a top - notch digital audio interface. It can convert two stereo digital audio sources into four Dante network audio channels effortlessly. It has the amazing ability to automatically detect a valid input from any of its three input jacks: S/PDIF optical, S/PDIF coaxial, or AES/EBU XLR. Once the input is received, it gets decoded, re - clocked, and then sent to the Dante network. A yellow front - panel LOCK LED will light up when a valid source is received without lock errors. You don't need any special software to configure this module, which is very user - friendly. It's a professional - grade product that delivers studio - quality performance. The SF - DN4 is powered by PoE. A green LED on the front indicates valid PoE power and synchronization to the Dante network. It's housed in a durable, all - metal enclosure. You can use it in free - standing, surface - mounted, or rack - mounted operations. This full - featured SYSFLEX product is made in the U.S.A and is built for continuous duty in tough installations. It offers great flexibility in the design and installation of professional A/V systems.

Using the RDL SF - DN4 is a breeze. First, connect your digital audio sources to one of the three available input jacks - S/PDIF optical, S/PDIF coaxial, or AES/EBU XLR. Once connected, the device will automatically detect the input. You don't need to install any special software to set it up. Just plug it in and it's ready to convert your digital audio sources to Dante network audio channels. The yellow LOCK LED on the front panel will let you know if a valid source is received without any lock errors. And the green LED indicates that it's getting valid PoE power and is synced to the Dante network. When it comes to placement, you can either use it as a free - standing device, mount it on a surface, or install it in a rack. As for maintenance, keep it in an environment where the temperature is between 0° C and 50° C. Make sure it gets the right PoE power as specified (PoE Class 0, IEEE 802.3af). Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions or physical damage. And if you notice any issues with the LEDs or the audio output, double - check your connections and the power supply.
