Five Dante converter models — dongle-format analog input and output adapters — that connect microphones, mixers and amplifiers to a Dante network, and sit naturally beside the video fiber plant.
Dante moved professional audio onto networks, but the edges of every real installation are still analog: a microphone at a lectern, a mixer output, an amplifier input, a legacy powered speaker. The five models in this family are those edges — compact Dante converters, in dongle format, that turn two channels of analog audio into a Dante stream (input models) or a Dante stream back into analog (output models). The documented representatives are the Dante 2Ch Analog Input Dongle Converter and its output counterpart.
They earn their place on a video-transmission site for a practical reason: the same venues that pull fiber for video — stadiums, houses of worship, conference centres, performance spaces — run Dante for audio, and the projects are usually designed by the same integrator at the same time. A converter catalogue that can answer both the video-over-fiber and the audio-endpoint questions in one quotation saves a vendor, a shipment and a support thread.

The complete Dante audio converter family (5 models) as listed in the manufacturer's catalogue.
Input dongles (analog → Dante) and output dongles (Dante → analog) are different products. A channel plan that lists, per position, 'two channels in' or 'two channels out' converts directly into a model count.
The documented format is two channels per dongle. Positions needing more channels stack dongles or hand the design to the Dante network's other endpoints — state the full channel map in the inquiry.
Dante endpoints live on a managed network design (switch configuration, clocking). The converters are the endpoints, not the network design; the quotation confirms the endpoint models against your stated Dante network plan.
The Dante dongles are network endpoints — they join the Dante network over Ethernet. They sit in this catalogue because audio endpoints are specified alongside the fiber video plant in the same projects; where audio itself must traverse fiber, it does so as network traffic over the site's fiber backbone.
Two channels per dongle in the documented models — input or output depending on the model. The channel plan in your inquiry becomes the unit count.
Yes — a Dante network treats endpoints independently. Mix input and output models per position as the channel plan requires.
