The RDL DB-TPR2A is a professional two-pair Format-A twisted pair audio receiver designed to provide two unbalanced audio outputs from an RDL Format-A audio distribution system. The module receives audio from Format-A Pair B and Pair C and provides separate -10 dBV RCA outputs for connection to amplifiers, mixers, powered speakers, and other line-level audio equipment.

Designed for installed commercial and professional audio systems, the DB-TPR2A uses active balanced circuitry to receive audio over twisted-pair cable while providing wide frequency response, low distortion, and strong crosstalk rejection.

Dual RJ45 connections allow signal and power pass-through, making it possible to daisy-chain additional compatible Format-A receivers throughout an installation.

Two Format-A Audio Pairs to RCA Outputs

The RDL DB-TPR2A receives two channels from an RDL Format-A twisted-pair cable:

• Pair B feeds the left RCA output
• Pair C feeds the right RCA output

Each output provides a standard -10 dBV unbalanced audio signal, allowing the receiver to interface with equipment using conventional RCA line-level inputs.

This makes the DB-TPR2A useful when audio distributed over Format-A twisted pair needs to be converted back to local analog audio at the destination.

Dual RJ45 Connections with Signal Pass-Through

The DB-TPR2A includes dual RJ45 connections for Format-A signal and power pass-through.

The second RJ45 connection allows the twisted-pair cable to continue to another compatible RDL Format-A module rather than terminating at the first receiver.

Multiple receivers can therefore be distributed along the same cable, with up to 10 receiver outputs per cable pair.

Additional single-pair Format-A receivers can also be used when access to the remaining audio pair is required.

Local or Remote 24VDC Power

The RDL DB-TPR2A can be powered locally or remotely, providing flexibility for different installation requirements.

Local power can be connected through the module's detachable terminal block. In systems using remote power, operating power can be delivered through the twisted-pair cable along with the audio signals.

A blue LED power indicator provides a quick visual indication that the receiver is powered.

Wide Frequency Response and Low Distortion

The DB-TPR2A uses active balanced receiver circuitry designed for professional audio distribution.

With a frequency response of 10 Hz to 50 kHz (±0.1 dB) and THD+N below 0.005%, the receiver is designed to maintain signal quality when transporting audio through an RDL Format-A system.

Its balanced twisted-pair architecture also provides strong rejection of unwanted interference and crosstalk before converting the received signals to the module's unbalanced RCA outputs.

This is useful information to have on the page because someone searching for the white or stainless version can understand that they're related versions of the same Format-A receiver.

Why Choose the RDL DB-TPR2A?

The RDL DB-TPR2A provides a convenient way to retrieve two audio channels from an RDL Format-A twisted-pair system and convert them to standard unbalanced RCA outputs at the destination.

Its combination of Pair B and Pair C reception, dual RJ45 pass-through connections, local or remote power, and daisy-chain capability makes it especially useful for distributed audio installations requiring multiple output locations.

For systems requiring access to other Format-A audio pairs or different output configurations, the DB-TPR2A can be combined with other compatible RDL Format-A receiver modules.
