DU11

What the DU11 does on a Dante network

The AISPEECH DU11 is a USB-to-Dante audio adapter. One end connects to a laptop or conference host by USB, and the other connects to the Dante network through an RJ45 port. That gives a meeting room computer a direct route onto a Dante audio system, so presentation audio and conference speech can travel over the same network the room already uses for its other audio.

To the computer, the DU11 appears as a standard audio device, so it works with common recording, conferencing and playback applications without any dedicated software. That makes it practical for visiting laptops and shared room PCs, where IT policies often limit what can be installed.

Key specifications that matter for room audio

• Channels: 2 inputs and 2 outputs, enough for stereo playback and two-channel recording at the same time.
• Audio format: 48 kHz sampling with 24-bit depth.
• Device latency: selectable at 1, 2 or 5 ms.
• Power: 5 V DC supplied over USB.
• Dimensions: 130 × 33 × 28 mm.

Dante carries audio digitally, which reduces the signal loss and interference that long analog cable runs can introduce. In practice, this helps keep conference speech and presentation sound clear and stable across the room and beyond. Confirm the latency setting with your audio designer during commissioning so it matches the design of your system.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit the DU11 well:

• A university seminar room in Education City, where visiting lecturers bring their own laptops and the room's Dante audio needs to carry their sound without rewiring the lectern.
• A government ministry boardroom in Msheireb, where the conference host sits on the Dante network and a presenter's laptop must feed the same speakers.
• A hotel meeting room in Lusail used for hybrid briefings, where the event laptop needs a quick, reliable route into the room's audio network, and the unit can be moved between rooms.

Planning the connection before installation

Plan the RJ45 connection to the Dante network first, then place the USB end where the presenter or host computer sits. At 130 × 33 × 28 mm the unit is compact enough for a crowded desk, but its final position should be confirmed on site. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, so we can check network port locations and cable routes before the quotation is finalised.

Agree the Dante network design, including switch and VLAN settings, with your network team in advance. Installation can be included in the quotation, and deliveries cover all 8 municipalities of Qatar.
