xIO XLR - Hardware¶
xIO XLR units offer world-class audio quality and precision control of audio and Dante settings. Available in both US and EU form factors, the xIO XLRs has a clean, sleek design and is compatible with standard gang US wall boxes with Decora faceplates and EU/UK standard wall boxes.
IP control and PoE power simplify installation by allowing a single cable connection from the xIO XLR units to a PoE-enabled network switch. All aspects of xIO XLR control can be controlled using Symetrix remotes, SymVue panels, or third-party control systems.
There are four models in the xIO XLR family.
| **xIO XLR 1x1 ** | **xIn XLR 2 ** | **xIO XLR 2x2 ** | **xIn XLR 4 ** | |
| Size | 1 Gang | 1 Gang | 2 Gang | 2 Gang |
| XLR Mic/Line Inputs | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| XLR Line Outputs | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Dante Send | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Dante Receive | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
The xIO XLR units are fully integrated members of the Symetrix xIO family of Dante endpoints. This provides full control and configuration of the devices, including Dante routing, from within Symetrix Composer software. All aspects of the xIO XLRs are fully configurable including levels, device name, Dante channel names, and connect/reconnect functionality.

LED Operation¶
During boot, LEDs will flash using the following colors::
- Yellow: waiting to start boot
- Green: waiting for the Ultimo to wake up at a low level
- Blue: waiting for the Ultimo to respond to higher level commands
- Teal: loading configuration (routing and other settings from the site file)
- Purple: Waiting for Ethernet connection
When complete, they will return to the user configured LED operation.

A&E Specifications¶
The xIO XLR shall be available in a single gang black or white Decora® wall plate, and compatible with US or EU/UK wall boxes.
Dante™ shall be utilized to transmit two channels of stereo audio from the device onto a Dante™ network to be received by any Dante-compatible endpoint. Conversely, one channel of Dante™ audio shall also be received by the xIO XLR when configured as a phone bridge. Audio sampling rate shall be at 48 kHz, with 24-bit resolution. The connector shall be 100 Base-T RJ45 utilizing CAT6 cable.
Dante subscriptions may then be made via Dante Controller software. For more detailed configuration and control of the device, a designer software application shall be provided that operates on a Windows computer, with network interface installed, running Windows® 7 or higher operating system. Computer connection for configuration shall be via a hosting DSP unit’s rear panel Ethernet connector that communicates with the devices via Dante™.
The device shall be powered over Ethernet (PoE) by an Ethernet cable from an IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant network switch, or injector. The device shall meet UL/CSA and CE safety requirements and comply with CE and FCC Part 15 emissions limits. The device shall be RoHS compliant.
The device shall be aSymetrix xIO XLR.
