Blustream DA11USB-V3 USB Dante® Audio Encoder / Decoder

 

The Blustream DA11USB-V3 is a compact USB Dante® audio encoder and decoder that connects a computer, laptop or other USB audio host directly to a Dante audio network. Working in both directions at once, the DA11USB-V3 takes two channels of USB audio and places them onto the network as a Dante stream, while returning two channels from the network to the USB host at the same time. That makes it a straightforward way to bring playback software, conferencing applications, background music or a recording workstation into a networked audio installation, whether in a meeting room, a venue, a studio or a larger residential system. This third-generation model is built on an upgraded board design, which Blustream says delivers improved digital conversion and signal clarity.

At the heart of the DA11USB-V3 is Audinate's DEP (Dante Embedded Platform), which also allows direct API control of the unit through its Dante network interface. Dante audio runs at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz at 24-bit, and device latency can be set to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10ms in Dante Controller to balance timing against network size and complexity. Support for AES67 RTP audio transport lets the DA11USB-V3 exchange audio with AES67-compatible equipment as well as Dante devices, widening its place in mixed audio networks. Blustream describes the unit as plug-and-play: it presents itself to the connected computer as a standard USB audio device compliant with the USB Audio Device Class specification.

Two USB connections are fitted, a USB Type-B and a USB-C port, and both a USB-A to USB-B cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable (1m each) are supplied, so almost any computer can be connected without an adaptor. The active USB port is chosen with the SELECT button on the side panel, through the built-in web interface or by API command, and the web interface offers manual, port lock and input sensing modes for fixed installations. A single RJ45 socket carries the 100Mbps Dante connection and also powers the DA11USB-V3 by IEEE 802.3af PoE from a PoE network switch; where the switch does not provide PoE, the unit can draw 5V power from the USB host instead. The black casing measures 120mm wide, 26mm high and 47mm deep without feet, small enough to sit behind a desk, on a rack shelf or beside a PC.

 

What Blustream say about the DA11USB-V3

Our DA11USB-V3 delivers enhanced audio performance through an upgraded board design, offering improved digital conversion and exceptional signal clarity. It simultaneously encodes two channels of USB audio into a Dante® digital signal and decodes Dante® back to two channels of USB audio using advanced DEP (Dante Embedded Platform) technology. The result is superior audio reproduction and reliable distribution for a wide range of professional applications.

Designed for flexibility, the DA11USB-V3 includes both USB Type-B and USB-C connections, selectable via a side-panel button or API command. This plug-and-play device can be powered via PoE or 5V USB and also supports AES67 RTP audio transport, ensuring broad interoperability across modern audio networks.

HDMI matrices and switches route your sources

Blustream's HDMI matrices and switches let you send several sources to several displays. The range includes 4x4 matrices such as the MX44AB-V2 and smaller switches such as the SW21AB-V2 and SW41AB-V2. A presentation switch, the MFP112, suits meeting rooms. Check the specification for the inputs and outputs.

HDBaseT extenders carry signals over distance

HDBaseT sends video, audio and control over a single network cable, which lets you place a display well away from its source. Blustream lists receivers such as the RX70AMP, which includes an amplifier, and extender sets such as the HEX100HDVGA-KIT.

Converters and cables fill the gaps

Audio extractors and converters, including the CAT100AU, DAC12AU, HD11AU, ADC11AU and DIG11AU, let you pull audio out of an HDMI signal or convert its format. Micro HDMI cables are also available, which helps when a source has only a micro connector.
