TDN1 Desktop Microphone Base with Dante Output
Model TDN1
Overview
The TDN1 is a Dante microphone base that lets you connect any gooseneck condenser microphone with an XLRM output directly to a Dante audio network, eliminating long analog cable runs.
It is powered via PoE and offers local or remote control of gain, high-pass filter, 48 V phantom power, and status LED, integrating with Relacart management software and digital matrices.
It is designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, conferences, and distance learning in modern network-based AV installations.

Key features
- 3-pin XLRM input for connecting phantom-powered gooseneck condenser microphones directly, turning them into Dante network nodes.
- PoE IEEE 802.3af power with an approximate consumption of 1.5–2.3 W, reducing cabling to a single Ethernet cable.
- Remote control of gain (six levels), 150 Hz low-cut filter, 48 V phantom power, and red/green LED via Relacart RDM1.0 software or other Dante tools.
- Front button configurable in Local or Remote mode for talk/mute functions or triggering events on other Dante devices.
- Robust chassis with a heavy base and non-slip silicone pads that minimize the transfer of surface vibrations to the microphone.
