Frequently Asked Questions - DAN-AIXF2 Kopul

What is the Kopul DAN-AIXF2 used for?

The DAN-AIXF2 is a Dante audio adapter that allows you to connect analog audio output devices, such as mixers, DI boxes, and keyboard instruments, to a Dante network. It converts analog signals to digital Dante/AES67 streams.

How do I power the DAN-AIXF2?

The adapter is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant with 802.3af. Simply connect it to a PoE-enabled network switch or injector using an Ethernet cable.

What sample rates and bit depth does it support?

It supports sample rates of 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz with a 24-bit bit depth. The default is typically 48 kHz.

Can I use the DAN-AIXF2 with AES67?

Yes, the adapter supports both Dante Audio over IP and AES67 RTP transport formats, making it compatible with AES67 networks.

How do I configure the latency?

Latency (1, 2, or 5 ms) can be configured using Dante Controller software, available from Audinate. The adapter must be connected to the network.

What do the LEDs on the Ethernet port indicate?

Yellow LED: steady = power on, flashing = data traffic. Green LED: steady = system ready, flashing = identify mode (triggered via Dante Controller) or bootloader mode.

Can I connect a microphone directly to the DAN-AIXF2?

No, the DAN-AIXF2 has female XLR inputs designed for line-level signals (up to +24 dBu). Microphones require preamplification before connecting.

Is the DAN-AIXF2 compatible with Dante Domain Manager?

Yes, the adapter is compatible with Dante Domain Manager for advanced network management and security.

What is the maximum cable length from the adapter to the XLR device?

The integrated pigtail cable is 9 inches (22.9 cm) long. For longer runs, use standard XLR cables.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates can be performed via Dante Controller or Dante Updater. During the update process, the green LED will flash rapidly. Refer to the user manual for detailed steps.
