The Roland XI-DANTE expansion interface card enables the Roland ORCHA series of products such as the M-5000 live mixing console, full-duplex two-way communication on a maximum of 64 channels at 48kHz (32 channels at 96kHz). The card contains primary and secondary ports to allow for redundancy or daisy-chained Dante-enabled devices, and a control port.
Installing a Wohler unit with the Dante hardware option into an existing and functioning Dante network is virtually plug and play. The rear panel AoIP jack supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Dante Audio over IP network configurations. Channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘AoIP’ in the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is installed. The iAM-series unit is set up at the Wohler factory to be used as a slave rather than a master within the Dante network. Other devices or software, such as a Dante Controller, are expected to be responsible for most device configurations and all audio routing.
