Work - DD2

The WORK DD2 is one of those unassuming components that quickly become indispensable when working with networked audio. It acts as a bridge between a traditional analogue environment and a Dante infrastructure, providing stable and transparent bidirectional conversion across 2 inputs and 2 outputs.

In a fixed installation, for example, it allows a local source (mixing desk, player, pre-amplified microphone) to be fed into a Dante network, or conversely, a network signal to be routed to a public address system or an analogue amplifier. This flexibility makes it particularly useful in multi-zone venues, public buildings, corporate installations or hybrid stage systems.

The DD2’s compact design has been engineered for seamless integration: it can be mounted close to equipment, concealed within technical furniture or installed behind a rack. PoE power supply further simplifies integration by eliminating the need for a dedicated power supply in many cases, whilst ensuring a clean and quick installation.

In terms of audio, the DD2 supports high resolutions of up to 32-bit and sampling rates of up to 96 kHz, enabling it to be integrated into professional networks without compromising the overall quality of the system. The extremely low latency (typically 1 ms) ensures the temporal coherence essential for live or multi-zone broadcast applications.

Analogue inputs and outputs are available via Euroblock terminal blocks, a choice well-suited to fixed installations where mechanical reliability and connection stability are paramount. Operating levels of up to +22 dBu ensure compatibility with the majority of professional equipment on the market.
