Allen & Heath DT-02-X 2-Output Dante Interface, XLR, PoE/DC, PSU Included

Allen & Heath DT-02-X: Portable Two-Output Dante Interface

The Allen & Heath DT-02-X is a compact 2-output Dante interface that adds two analog XLR line outputs to any point on an audio network. The X designation means it ships ready to use out of the box, with an included 12V DC power supply and rubber feet for tabletop operation. It targets portable and AV-hire scenarios where a rack and PoE switch may not be present. For an engineer who needs a pair of networked outputs at a temporary position, it is a self-contained solution. Everything required to power and place the unit comes in the box.

Allen & Heath DT-02-X: Dante and AES67 Connectivity

On the network the DT-02-X behaves as a standard Dante device, integrating with Dante-equipped Allen & Heath mixers and AHM processors as well as third-party Dante systems, and it supports the open AES67 standard. Its two XLR outputs can be patched from a console anywhere on the network using Dante software, carrying audio and clock over ordinary Ethernet. That flexibility lets a temporary output point be dropped into a show without running long analog snakes. For event and hire work, being able to reroute outputs in software rather than by repatching cable is a real time-saver.

Allen & Heath DT-02-X: 48/96 kHz Switchable Conversion

The interface switches between 48 kHz and 96 kHz to match the host system's clock, offering high-resolution 96 kHz conversion or broadcast-standard 48 kHz as needed. Its digital-to-analog stage produces clean, low-noise line output for powered speakers, amplifiers, or recording devices. Keeping every device on a shared sample rate is fundamental to a stable Dante network, and the DT-02-X's surface switch makes that a quick configuration step. The result is dependable, professional-grade output wherever the unit is placed.

Allen & Heath DT-02-X: Ready to Run With Included Power

Unlike the surface-mount M version, the DT-02-X arrives with its own 12V DC power supply and rubber feet, so it can sit on a desk, a stage riser, or a broadcast cart and run immediately. It still accepts Power over Ethernet where a suitable switch is available, giving the operator a choice on site. The rubber feet keep it stable and prevent it from sliding on smooth surfaces. For rental inventories and mobile engineers, that self-powered, plug-and-play design is exactly what makes setup fast and predictable.

Allen & Heath DT-02-X: Ideal Applications

The DT-02-X fits portable PA rigs, AV-hire kits, and any situation that needs remote outputs where PoE is not guaranteed. Use it to feed a monitor position, a recording rig, or a broadcast truck from a Dante network without cabling back to the main rack. Because it is self-powered and tabletop-ready, it deploys in seconds and packs away just as quickly. For engineers who move between venues, the DT-02-X is the go-anywhere way to add two networked line outputs on demand.
