What is the DN-200WS used for?

DN-200WS is a Wi-Fi audio receiver with professional-grade audio outputs. It lets you add wireless stereo audio reception to any professional audio system and supports high-resolution audio files using DLNA and AirPlay streaming. Once your wireless device is connected to DN-200WS’s Wi-Fi network, you can send your device’s audio signal out of the balanced XLR or unbalanced 1/4” (6.35 mm) outputs to your mixer, loudspeakers, or amplification system.

How far is the WIFI range of the DN-200WS?

Wireless Antenna: This antenna transmits and receives the wireless signal. DN-200WS has a transmission range up to 65.6 feet (20 meters) in AP Mode and up to 164 feet (50 meters) in STA Mode, depending on the strength of the original wireless signal.

What do the different pairing modes mean?

There are multiple pairing options for this unit "AP Mode", "STA Mode", and "WPS Mode".

• AP Mode - Stands for access point. This is the most basic way to set up the DN-200WS, which will act as a wireless access point (like a standard wireless router) for your wireless device. See the following AP Mode to learn how to set this up.
   
• STA Mode - STA stands for station. This lets you use DN-200WS in an existing wireless network, extending the signal of the original wireless access point. Connecting your wireless device to DN-200WS connects it to the existing wireless network. See the following STA Mode to learn how to set this up.
   
• WPS Mode - WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. This lets you connect DN-200WS to your wireless router, allowing you to send audio to DN- 200WS over your Wi-Fi network. (Your router must support WPS. Please see your router’s documentation for more information.) See the following WPS Mode to learn how to set this up.
