New From Dillinger Labs, DANI is the Result of a Customer-Driven Desire for the Ideal DJ/Pro Audio Wireless Solution
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, March 29, 2021 – Eleven Engineering, Inc. (www.elevenengineering.com), a market leader in semiconductor products for wireless audio for professional, home theater, multi-room, portable, 12 Volt (car, truck, motorcycle, power sports, marine) and gaming applications, is proud to announce the launch of the new Dillinger Labs DANI SKAA Pro® Transmitter. Now shipping with an MSRP of $199.99 USD, DANI is the perfect wireless option for DJs and others in the pro audio community.
“When the first Crossfader SKAA Pro transmitter review came out just a few months ago, the positive feedback stemming from more than 80,000 views and hundreds of comments was incredible and the people behind SKAA listened,” explained Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. “In just three short months since that review, DANI was born. DANI is the first SKAA transmitter to have both SKAA and SKAA Pro transmitting capabilities engineered specifically for the DJ community as well as other similarly demanding pro audio applications.”
One of the principal disadvantages of using traditional wireless audio solutions in a pro audio setting is inherent latency issues and navigating through an abundance of wireless traffic. SKAA’s low latency ability is something that Bluetooth® and WiFi audio-based solutions cannot accomplish for many reasons. However, there are even more demanding applications, such as live performance (DJ) that require even lower latency. This is where SKAA Pro takes over.
“DANI’s SKAA Pro technology is fully compatible within the SKAA standard,” Whitehead continued. “With a low latency of 19ms with 1:2 relation, DANI is ideal for DJ duos, portable DJ set-ups and other pro applications. In addition, there is no paring required and SKAA Pro transmitters, and DANI in particular, are fully compatible/interchangeable with both existing as well as future SKAA speakers in the marketplace, making the transition seamless to the end user.”
DANI can feed four SKAA speakers or headphones in SKAA mode (at 36 ms latency), or feed two SKAA speakers or headphones in SKAA Pro mode (at 19 ms latency), which is great for lightning fast scratching and finger drumming. DANI’s thrus are also great for a hybrid system in which there are wired speakers in the front of the room and wireless speakers in the back of the room. The deck’s output connects to inputs 1/2, and then thrus 1/2 feed the amplifiers.
“DANI can handle a wide range of line level signals from the wimpy to the extreme,” Whitehead explained. “The thrus also enable you to run two DANI transmitters at the same time in order to double your wireless speakers at a gig. Connect your mixer out to DANI’s A’s inputs, then connect DANI A’s thrus to DANI B’s inputs using two TRS balanced patch cables. With up to 50 meter reliable indoor range with the included 2 dBi antenna, it’s really that easy to create the ideal wireless DJ rig in even the most demanding applications and situations, whether indoor or outdoor.”
Additional DANI features and specifications include:
- (2) ¼-inch TRS balanced/unbalanced line level inputs with input impedance > 10k ohms
- Inputs 1 and 2 can be used for Left / Right audio or to carry separate signals
- Legendary Burr Brown input buffers
- Legendary Burr Brown analog to digital converter
- Global volume control and mute/unmute control for all downstream devices for all downstream devices
- Thru jacks wired in parallel with the inputs
- Feed DANI from a 3.5 mm phone or computer source or with +22 dBu of XLR balanced signal
- 14 hour run time from a full charge using internal Li-Ion battery power cell
- Charges from any USB power source; use a cable with a Type C plug for the DANI end
- Fast charging is supported when a 2A-rated USB power adapter is used
- Fuel gauge tells you how much battery life is remaining
- Auto power off when battery reaches empty
SKAA is the new wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering, Inc. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack. SKAA is also available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products, which are featured at SKAA.com. In environments laden with heavy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic, SKAA navigates through these hostile environments with best-in-class reliability. SKAA also allows for uninterrupted audio signals which are delivered with the highest sound quality to all speakers without the latency that is inherent in other wireless solutions.
