The SF-BNC2 Bidirectional Unbalanced Stereo Audio Network Interface is a bidirectional Dante audio network interface. It features two unbalanced audio inputs (left and right) on RCA or stereo 3.5 mm Mini-jack connectors, as well as two unbalanced audio outputs (left and right) on RCA and stereo 3.5 mm Mini-jack connectors. Special software is not required to configure the SF-BNC2. Each input provides a network digital audio level of -20 dBFS for an unbalanced -10 dBV input. Each output provides -10 dBV unbalanced for a network digital audio level of -20 dBFS. The SF-BNC2 is a professional grade product for studio quality fidelity and low noise performance.

The SF-BNC2 is PoE powered. Valid PoE power and synchronization to the Dante network is indicated by a green LED visible from the front of the unit.

The SF-BNC2 is constructed in a durable, professional all-metal enclosure suitable for free-standing, surface-mounted or rack-mounted operation. This full-featured SYSFLEX® product is engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A for continuous duty in demanding installations. The versatility of SYSFLEX® products adds enormous flexibility in the design and installation of professional A/V systems.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Since this is passive, it's bidirectional, right? So I can take the signal from XLR line level to an 1/8" video capture input.

A: The Sescom AUD-TRS-BAL 3.5mm Stereo Unbalanced Audio to Dual XLR Balanced Converter Cable has male connectors on the XLR ends (which are used for connection to XLR inputs) and converts an unbalanced 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo output signal to a balanced XLR input signal, so it would not work. As an option for connecting dual XLR line output to an 1/8" (3.5mm) line input, you can use a standard Y-cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to Two 3-Pin XLR Female Y-Cable - 1' (B&H # HOYCSMMR2XF1). If the 1/8" (3.5mm) input is a mic-level input, you can use a level-matching cable like the Sescom Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - TRS Male to Female XLR, 18" (B&H # SES43DBMZ2XJ), which will convert the line-level signal to mic level.

Q: 2. Can you use an additional inline barrel pad on top of this in case you need to knock a signal down to mic level?

A: The output is already at mic level. The transformer gives you a 20 dB loss from -10 consumer line input to -30dB. If you need more, there is a built in 20 dB pad switch which takes your signal down to -50dB total. There is no reason or need to use an additional pad.

Q: 3. Does it have warranty? If yes, how long?

A: 3 year warranty. You can see it listed in the "In The Box" section on your right-hand side of the Overview Tab.

Q: 4. Can the Dante port be connected directly to the ethernet port of a PC, giving the PC access to the I/O?

A: No. The Dante port would be connected to a network switch that is also connected to the rest of your Dante devices and the USB port of the Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX would be connected to your computer.

Q: 5. Can I use this with to provide phantom power to two sets of Sennheiser MZA 900 P and Sennheiser ME 3 EW from the powered 3.5mm mic port on a Zoom H4n?

A: These cables will not pass phantom power reliably. They are designed for audio signal only.

Q: 6. Will this cable work between a lavalier comes with TA5 connector and 3.5 mm Mic input Transmitter (like G3)? I need to use a lavalier mic on both Lectro Lma and G3 so need kinda cable like this.

A: This cable will not work. Generally, your mics have to be wired appropriately for each wireless manufacturer's system.

Q: 7. do you have to have a mixer to use this?

A: No. I use it to go from stereo 1/8 sources (like laptops and cell phones) to one or two XLR's that I then put into a mixer, personally. But you could plug your XLR's into a combo amp or whatever else you want.

Q: 8. Are the outputs isolated from inputs and are all the outputs isolated from each other?

A: Yes

Q: 9. Does this cable keep the stereo output separated at the 1/8 end or does it sum to mono?

A: The Remote Audio CALEC1/8T5FS's stereo output is summed to mono.

Q: 10. Can I use this device with a Shure MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphone?

A: Yes. According to the following page from Shure; "You can use a web application to control the MXA910 and Dante Controller to route audio. Download the Shure Web Device Discovery application to access your device’s web application." https://pubs.shure.com/guide/MXA910/en-US
