LINDY 2ch Dante to XLR Audio Decoder, PoE/USB-C Powered, 24-bit/96kHz, AES67 70619

With a dynamic range exceeding 100dB and THD+N below 0.005%, the LINDY 70619 delivers pristine analog audio from any Dante network. This compact decoder converts two Dante/AES67 channels into balanced XLR line-level outputs, ideal for integrating networked audio into existing analog systems.

Overview

The LINDY 2ch Dante to XLR Audio Decoder bridges modern AoIP infrastructure and traditional analog equipment. It receives audio over standard Ethernet via Dante, supports sample rates up to 96kHz at 24-bit depth, and outputs two balanced analog channels on XLR connectors. Power is flexible: PoE from a network switch or 5V DC via USB-C. Configuration and routing are handled through the free Dante Controller software, with latency as low as 1ms.

What stands out

• Exceptional audio quality: >100dB SNR, <0.005% THD+N, +24dBu max output
• Dual power options: PoE or USB-C 5V DC, consuming less than 2W
• Rugged metal housing for professional installations
• Full AES67 compatibility for interoperability
• Simple setup with Dante Controller — no special drivers needed
