The unDUSB is a small, cost-effective interface that bridges host USB devices, like computers, directly to a Dante network - while keeping the audio signals in the digital domain. The unDUSB enumerates on USB as a standard stereo sound card, and provides 2 channels from Dante to USB, and 2 channels from USB to Dante. Since the unDUSB uses USB audio drivers that are built-in to Windows and OSX, no additional drivers need to be installed. Using an unDUSB, any computer program that can make use of a stereo sound card can instantly have input and output access to audio signals on a Dante network. Music, presentation audio, and even audio from collaboration applications like Skype can be used in a Dante system. The unDUSB can be powered by compliant 802.3af PoE devices, from +9VDC to +24VDC external supplies, or from the Power Link Output connector of other Attero Tech devices that support Power Link.

The Dante to USB bridge shall provide 2 channels bidirectional bridging of USB and Dante. The unit shall provide a Power LED, a Sys LED, a Sync LED, and an Error LED on the front panel to indicate system status. The unit shall provide a Type-B USB connector on the rear panel for connection to a PC or Mac. A rear panel Dante interface shall receive power over the Ethernet cable from a compliant 802.3af PoE network device, an external +9VDC to +24VDC power supply, or another Power Link capable device. The unit shall support 44.1kHz and 48kHz USB sample rates, and 48kHz Dante sample rates, with 16 bit audio samples. The unit shall provide fully asynchronous and bidirectional sample rate conversion between USB audio and Dante audio. The Dante interface shall be compliant with the RoHS directive. The Dante interface unit shall be compliant with the EMI/EMC requirements for FCC and CE. The Dante interface shall be the Attero Tech unDUSB.

Features:

  • USB B-Type connector for easy connection to laptop, desktop, and other USB host equipment 
  • PoE powered to work with any compliant 802.3af PoE network switch or mid-span injector, external +9VDC to +24VDC supply, or from the Power Link Output connector of other Attero Tech devices that support Power Link for maximum flexibility
  • Since the unDUSB uses standard USB Audio device drivers, which are native to Windows and OSX, device installation is easy. The unDUSB is a USB 1.1 audio device, so any application that can use a sound card can use the unDUSB
