Introduction

The Model 5330 Flex-Use Dante Audio Interface pro-

vides a simple yet high-performance means of interfac

ing analog signals with applications that utilize Dante®

audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology. Four

line-level analog sources can be connected to the unit

and then, after conversion to digital, output by way of

four output (transmitter) channels associated with the

Dante interface. Four signals that arrive by way of Dante

can be converted to analog and then output as balanced

line-level signals. A monitor section allows the input and

output signals to be selectively observed using meters,

a headphone output, and a line-level output.

The Model 5330 is a fully professional product that of

fers the audio quality, features, and reliability required

by 24-hour commercial applications. Four inputs, two

on the front panel and two on the back, allow simple

interfacing with a variety of unbalanced and balanced

line-level analog sources. The 2-channel (stereo)

input on the front panel is optimized for use with por

table electronics that provide “–10” unbalanced audio

sources. Using a rotary control, users can adjust the

sensitivity of the input circuitry to match the level of

the source. Two additional inputs are provided on the

back panel and meet the requirements of professional

audio equipment. They are differential (balanced) with

a nominal level of +4 dBu and plenty of signal-handling

“headroom.” The four input signals are converted to

24-bit digital audio and then transported out of the unit

via the Dante interface.

Four digital audio channels enter the Model 5330 via

its Dante interface. These general-purpose audio chan-

nels are then converted from the digital domain to the

analog domain. Four 3-pin male XLR connectors, located

on the unit’s back panel, provide balanced +4 dBu-

nominal line-level analog outputs. An auxiliary output,

also located on the back panel, provides a fifth “profes

sional-quality” output. Pushbutton switches, located on

the front panel, allow the user to select the source for

the auxiliary output from among the four Dante input

(receiver) channels.

The monitor section allows the user to select any audio

input or output signal for visual and aural observation.

Two 8-segment LEDs meters, calibrated in dBFS, allow

precise monitoring of signal levels as they exist in the

digital domain. A 2-channel (stereo) headphone output

allows connection of headphones or ear buds that use

either 3.5 mm or ¼-inch jacks. A separate line-level

analog monitor output allows connection to inputs on

amplified speakers or power amplifiers. Two rotary

controls allow individual adjustment of the headphone

and monitor outputs.
