The ARX NetSplit is a unique ‘Dante / Analog Splitter that is switchable into either of two modes:
In Dante mode it will extract 2 channels of digital audio from the network via aRJ45 Ethernet input, and split them to 2 channels of 1:4 splitter
In Analog mode it can take 2 channels of Analog audio, and split them to 2 channels of 1:4 splitter
NetSplit Modes of operation are switchable between:
Dante input to Analog output 2 channel 1:4 Splitter,
or Analog input to Analog output 2 channel 1:4 Splitter
The NetSplit can receive audio channels from a Dante network and provide studio quality, low latency audio via balanced XLR output connectors to analog audio equipment.
Thus any audio available on the network can be routed via the NetSplit to an amplifier, powered speaker(s), mixing console, digital signal processor and many other analog audio devices.

CAUTION – When using a PoE (power over ethernet) injector, it must be Class 1 802.3af POE PD compliant.
Use of a non-compliant PoE injector can terminally damage the device and will void the warranty.
AC Power
AC power is a zone specific 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V, and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built in fuse.
