Dante Benefits

Dante delivers something every audio professional needs: a no hassle, self configuring, true plug‐and‐play digital audio network that uses standard Internet Protocols over both 100Mbps and 1 Gigabit Ethernet. Patent pending Dante technology distributes digital audio plus integrated control data with imperceptible latency, sample accurate playback synchronization, extreme reliability and high channel counts.

Easy to Setup and Use

Our innovative configuration protocol makes networking a true plug and play process with automatic device discovery and system configuration. Dante enabled devices will automatically configure their network interfaces and find one another.

Sample Accurate Timing with Inaudibly Low Latency

Dante uses audio independent, high accuracy network synchronization standards to ensure all Dante devices are synchronized at all times. Sample‐accurate playback with extremely low latency and jitter is achieved without limiting your audio sample rates and network layout options.

True Ethernet and IP Network Compatibility

Dante runs on inexpensive off the shelf computer networking hardware, and does not require dedicated network infrastructure. Ethernet switches transmit Dante digital media streams along-side ordinary data traffic, so you can integrate professional media operations into properly designed pre-existing networks.

Dante is a high performance digital audio networking solution that offers many benefits to users and manufactures of equipment for Live Sound, Install, Recording or other Pro Audio markets.
