The VigilLink VLDT-WP22B2AUS is a professional multi-input Dante wall plate that bridges Bluetooth 5.1 wireless audio, RCA analog audio, and 3.5mm analog audio into a Dante IP network - while simultaneously converting Dante audio back to analog RCA and 3.5mm outputs for local monitoring or zone distribution. Designed as a standard US 2-Gang wall plate, this unit installs directly into any standard 2-gang electrical box, providing a complete bidirectional audio interface for conference rooms, classrooms, hospitality venues, and collaborative spaces that require both wireless BYOD connectivity and permanent wired analog source integration. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports Bluetooth 5.1 with multi-codec compatibility, including SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX-LL, and aptX-HD, connects to up to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, and offers software-selectable input sensitivity and output gain for precise signal-level management across all sources.
The wall plate features an integrated web server and GUI for Bluetooth pairing configuration, input source selection, and gain control - accessible from any browser on the network. Input source switching is handled via front-panel button, web GUI, or TCP/IP API, and the Bluetooth device name is fully configurable for multi-room deployments where multiple units need to be individually identifiable. Analog input sensitivity is adjustable across six levels and analog output gain across five levels via control software - enabling the VLDT-WP22B2AUS to interface correctly with consumer, prosumer, and professional-level source equipment.
A single RJ45 connection running standard IEEE 802.3af PoE (Class 0) powers the device and carries the Dante audio network simultaneously - a single Cat6 cable delivers power, audio input, and audio output in both directions. The VLDT-WP22B2AUS supports Dante audio at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz sampling rates at 16, 24, or 32-bit depth, with configurable Dante device latency from 2ms to 10ms via Dante Controller. AES67 RTP audio transport is supported for interoperability with non-Dante networked audio systems. For installations where PoE is unavailable, a local 12V DC power supply can be connected as an alternative power source.
Dante is a media networking technology developed by Audinate that transports high-quality, low-latency audio over standard IP networks using off-the-shelf Ethernet switches and Cat5e/6 cabling. Unlike traditional point-to-point analog or digital audio connections, Dante allows hundreds of audio channels to be routed across a single network, with any device on the network able to send or receive audio from any other device - configured entirely in software.
