Architect's & Engineer's Specifications

The audio network interface panel shall be an in-wall surface mount panel designed for fixed installation engineered audio and communication systems. The device shall provide for upt to two (2) input analog audio channels supporting both microphone and line level balanced audio sources with input attenuation being automatically selected upon connecting either an XLR for microphone level or a 1/4" TRS jack for line level sources. Rotary micro-pots located on the front panel for each input shall allow input gain adjustment of up to +20dB. The device shall allow for balanced analog audio inputs providing for optional 48V DC phantom power on microphone level inputs selectable from a micro switch. The device shall also provide up to two (2) independent balanced audio line level output channels via XLR(M) 3pin connectors. The audio network interface shall support 10/100 Mbps - Powered-over-Ethernet (PoE) according to the IEEE 802.03af/at standards. The device shall support connectivity of 3pin XLR and TRS 1/4" jacks for both inputs utilizing universal combo connectors. Dante or AES67 audio-over-IP network protocols and standards shall support up to two (2) separate network streaming audio sub-channel transmissions plus two (2) independent sub-channels being received, decoded and made available via the XLR output connectors. The network interface rear panel Ethernet port shall be side mounted to ensure the connected network cable has sufficient bend radius for installation within a North American NEMA 2-gang back box. Remote set up of the streams shall be possible using Dante Controller. The audio network interface panel shall be the MediaMatrix sWALL 2x2 or approved equivalent.
