Key Benefits of Dante in Live Sound
1. Simple Setup and Deployment
- Easy Integration: Dante devices are fully interoperable, ensuring compatibility across brands.
- Standard Networking: Compatible with standard switches, requiring no specialized networking expertise.
- Cost and Efficiency: Eliminates bulky analog snakes and multichannel cables, saving setup time, space, and costs.
- Effortless Routing: Automatic device discovery and one-click audio routing with Dante Controller.
2. High Channel Counts with Ultra-Low Latency
- Massive Capacity: Delivers up to 512×512 channels (@ 48kHz/24-bit) on a single 1 GbE connection.
- Premium Audio Quality: Handles up to 192kHz sample rate with 32-bit resolution.
- Ultra-Low Latency: Achieves as little as 0.25ms latency, perfect for in-ear monitoring (IEM).
- Scalability: Supports networks of any size without compromising packet delivery.
3. Exceptional Timing and Clock Alignment
- Precision Clocking: Devices include a high-precision and low jitter oscillator.
- No Word Clock Needed: Precision Time Protocol (PTP) regulates phase-aligned clocks on all devices.
- High Accuracy: Guarantees sample-accurate and phase-aligned audio reproduction measured in nanoseconds.
- Audio Clarity: Pristine sound in any environment, from complex speaker arrays to immersive live PA systems.
4. Built-In Network Redundancy
- Failover Protection: Supports primary and secondary network connections for automatic failover.
- Easy Configuration: Redundancy can be set up quickly in Dante Controller, ensuring uninterrupted performances.
- Glitch-free: Failovers to the secondary network without audio dropouts.
