The ESI planet 22x is a 2-channel Dante audio interface offering operability as a networked Dante audio device or host-connected audio interface for musicians, producers, and engineers in homes, studios, and live stage applications. The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs, which can accept mic, line, or Hi-Z sources, feed low-noise, high-gain preamplifiers with globally selectable phantom power. The 24-bit / 96 kHz converters ensure pristine analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion.

Separate level controls are provided for the dual XLR line outputs and the 1/4" headphone jack, making it easy to route signal to multiple analog components such as speakers and headphones. The RJ45 port allows connectivity with a Dante network or a host computer. The PLANet 22x is compatible with Mac and Windows systems, and may be powered by the included 12 VDC power supply, or via a compliant PoE source. Bundled software and licenses from Bitwig, Stanton, Audified, and Audinate open creative opportunities for musicians, DJs, and podcast producers.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hello ESI folks, Do I correctly understand that I can use this device to take the digital audio output from my synthesizer (a Roland X7) coming out via SPDIF coaxial cable, and send it into my computer (a 2015 iMac, which has no digital audio input) via USB? And that in this case the U24 XL will do no digital/analog conversion, but just change the digital format, so there will be no loss of fidelity? Thanks much, Robert

A: This audio interface would allow you to convert the SPDIF digital from your work station out to USB, and keep the bit rate the same, so quality would not be degraded. .

Q: 2. Can you use this as the main switch to connect 4 more devices to the "network"? I only have 5 machines that need Dante.

A: Yes the RME Digiface Dante can connect to 4 devices.

Q: 3. So, I could use the two stereo inputs to record 4-channels from an analog source?

A: Yes, the ESI Maya44 eX 4-In/4-Out PCIe Audio Interface can be used to record four channels of audio from an analog source.

Q: 4. is this unit compatible with windows 10 ?

A: Yes

Q: 5. I'm looking to connect the headphone jack on my Behringer X-Air XR-18 to Dante for remote monitoring. What would I need in addition to or in place of this? Headphone port is a 1/4" TRS Stereo jack.

A: What's needed is cables and a headphone amp: 1/4" trs male to (2) XLR male(B&H # KOSMYCM2XM03 with HOGHP105 for stereo audio. , connect to the Dante XLR's, then a headphone amp at the other end, such as : B&H # PRHP2 or similar.

Q: 6. Does this digitize analog? How if not digital output? Analog I/O 2 x RCA Line Input 2 x 1/4" (6.3 mm) TRS Balanced Line Output Digital I/O None

A: If I understand your question correctly, the answer is res it does indeed digitize analog. It takes your analog in and converts it to digital and utilizes the USB to interface the 24bit / 96kHz digital signal with your Mac or PC Computer. Other than the USB for digital, It does not sport another digital input/output such as optical, hence why Digital I/O is None.

Q: 7. What is the latency? How do we get clock if using both madi in/ out. How do I get a demo of this product?

A: This is a high quality audio interface with extremely low latency. The MADI input would be the master clock in your set up, and you would have almost zero percent latency. RME does not provide an exact number for latency.

Q: 8. Is the line output compatible with the line input on a stereo receiver?

A: Yes. It is.

Q: 9. Will the AVIO 1 Input adapter except a 25 volt or 70 volt audio signal or does it need to be adapted to a line level first?

A: The Audinate Dante AVIO 1-Channel Analog Input Adapter for Dante Audio Network is intended for a balanced, line-level input signal.

Q: 10. Does this work with an iPad?

A: The ESI MAYA22 USB Flexible High-Performance, 24-Bit USB Audio Interface is intended for use only with Mac or Windows computers.
