unDIO2x2 User Manual 1 – Overview The unDIO2x2 is a 2-in/2-out audio interface utilizing Audinate’s Dante protocol. It's ideal for adding 2 channels of Dante audio I/O in a small, unobtrusive form factor. The two inputs use 3-pin depluggable connectors for balanced or unbalanced I/O connectivity and support either mic or line level signals. Each input also features a 24V phantom power option. The two outputs also use 3-pin depluggable connectors and each provides a balanced line level output.
