The new PCIe ALP-DANTE sound card offers many unique features that have been designed to empower professional audio users who operate Dante networks, paving the way to a large panel of critical audio applications. This ALP-DANTE card was developed using Digigram’s sturdy platform, which powers all cards within the ALP-X range, with the difference - unique on the market - that this card is a 4 Ethernet port fanless design that supports up to 64 channels of playback and 64 recording channels to/from a Dante network, in a low-profile form factor. This full-height PCIe card provides a solution to address audio applications where space and reliability are at stake. In addition to the two Ethernet ports which secure a seamless Dante network redundancy for use cases where reliability is paramount, the ALP-DANTE has 2 Ethernet switch ports for easier connectivity to other Dante/AES67 devices. In switching mode one port is used as a primary Ethernet connection with 3 switching ports, and in redundancy mode there is a Primary and a Secondary port, both associated with a respective switching port. The card supports up to 32 input and 32 output stereo streams (64 x 64 channels) at 44.1kHz and 48kHz, 32 x 32 channels at 88.2kHz and 96kHz, or 16 x 16 channels at 176.4kHz and 192kHz. All channels are PCM at 16, 24, or 32-bits with up to 2000 samples per channel (41.7ms at 48 kHz). Several cards can be installed in the same workstation to increase the channel count and deploy large structures. The ALP-DANTE card supports Windows and Linux environments to address multiple applications regardless of the operating systems. Lastly, the card seamlessly integrates Dante networks thanks to the usual Dante Controller interface, capitalizing on Digigram’s decades of expertise in audio-over-IP.

The D-RN2ML is a complete wall-mounted Dante or AES67 audio network interface. It features one XLR mic or line input on the front panel, one stereo Mini-jack line-level input summed to mono on the front panel and two balanced line outputs on a rear-panel detachable wiring block. The module is configured and adjusted using RDL CONSOLE or other network control software. The D-RN2ML fits a standard US single-gang electrical box or can be used with the RDL EP-1 adaptor for mounting in EU/UK square back boxes with 60 mm distance screw hole mounting centers. The D-RN2ML is PoE powered and is available in multiple finishes with optional customized graphics.

RDL has released a line of five single-gang Dante interfaces. The D Series-RN22 and D Series-RN2ML are 2x2 wall-mounted, bidirectional mic/line Dante interfaces, the D Series-RN12 is a 1x2 wall-mounted, bidirectional mic/line Dante interface and the D Series-RN02 is a 0x2 wall-mounted Dante interface. The fifth model – the D Series-BTN21 wall-mounted Bluetooth Dante interface – will be released soon. The models come with a variety of features that are said to help with installation and configuration, including network control of gain, attenuation, phantom power and channel summing, and additional rear-panel inputs and outputs on detachable wiring blocks. The units are available in multiple finishes including black, white and stainless steel. Custom labels can be created and ordered online, and the interfaces fit a standard US single-gang electrical box or can be used with the RDL EP-1 adapter for mounting in EU/UK back boxes. To support the Dante interfaces, the manufacturer has also added two network remote controls: the D-NMC1R and D-NLC1R. These single-gang wall-mounted controllers allow end users to control a wide range of parameters using a simple rotary knob, including volume, presets, muting and Bluetooth settings. Visual feedback is provided through LEDs on the D-NLC1R or an integrated full-colour LCD display on the D-NMC1R.

The HDSPe AoX PCIe x4 audio interface cards combine dual network ports with headphone output, AES3, MIDI, and internal expansion headers for up to four MADI ports. Whether used in a Thunderbolt™ expansion chassis or built into DAWs or audio processors, these cards send and receive up to 512 channels of audio and provide numerous mixing and routing capabilities.

The vast number of channels can be managed by the user in two steps. Using a driver dialog or web interface, the user first adjusts the network vs. optional MADI channel count, and then pre-selects which inputs reach the 256 channel TotalMix engine. The remaining 256 channels are passed straight through. All 512 channels are visible to the DAW for recording. TotalMix offers its basic functionality without effects, but with all the great benefits such as presets, layouts, loopback, sub-mixes, and many more.

When it comes to sending and receiving extremely large numbers of audio signals over a network, the solution is called: Dante with the Clara E.

Up to 512 bi-directional channels, connection over long distances through low-cost network cables and infrastructure, samplerates of up to 192 kHz, auto-configuration – all these advantages of the Dante protocol are now available with the Clara E at an amazingly low price. In contrast to virtual solutions, the Clara E offers the security of redundancy with 2 separate network ports and latencies down to 1 ms in connection with the reliable PCIe interface.

Fast and Reliable Multi-Client Treiber Suite

The continuously enhanced driver includes multi-client support for ASIO 2.2 as well as multi-channel WDM audio / WASAPI with the lowest latencies in all software environments. This ensures that multiple audio applications can access the sound system simultaneously via the same or different driver interfaces.

Realtime Routing, Mixing and EQ

Each input signal of the sound system can be adjusted in volume and routed latency-free to any output. The BEAST DSP mixer also sums up to 64 signals to 8 different busses and plays them back on any number of outputs without delay. Furthermore, the BEAST Mixer adds playback signals from any DAW. In each channel of the BEAST mixer there are 4 parametric EQ available for sonic processing.

Expansion options

An optional plug-on module serves as a bridge to the classic audio formats and expands the Clara E with AES/EBU, ADAT or analog interfaces. In the routing and in the Beast Mixer the signals of these interfaces are available as well and can thus be integrated into the Dante network.

If several Clara E are installed in one computer, they are synchronized via the TDM SyncBus and appear as a combined sound system to an ASIO application. In the Beast Mixer, up to 32 audio signals can be exchanged with other Clara sound systems (e.g. Clara Dmaj) and thus also be integrated for use with ASIO.

Powerful and Future-Proof

Every MARIAN sound system is a quality product developed 100% in Germany and manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 9001. This is guaranteed by its warranty period of 5 years.

The 4-channel loudspeaker controller module with digital signal processing for amplifiers of the KS AUDIO series

CA 4D and TA 4D. A unique convincing solution for perfect sound and easiest handling. The KS D MOD controller module complements the F MOD modules for applications where no quick change of the loudspeaker systems is required - i.e. especially in the installation area.

The one-time configuration of the loudspeaker system is done on the module by a USB stick transmitting the data while the system is switched on. During that process, both the signal inputs and the power outputs automatically receive the correct function:

from four individual channels

via two channels in Bi-Amp

or high-power bridge mode

to a single-channel 3-way active loudspeaker system with woofer-bridge mode output, and optionally “BI-Amp” control.

a SAT mode is also available in which the L+R signal is summed up to mono sub-low.

In addition to digital signal processing with FIR filter tech- nology, the special feature of the D MOD is its complete operability and controllability via standard networks. An integrated gigabit switch allows daisy-chaining to the next device. The KS REMOTE PC software enables easy ma- nagement and graphically, easy to understand, operation of an unlimited number of controller amplifiers arranged in groups.

All inputs can be controlled either digitally or analogously. Simultaneous digital and analog operation is also possible. A network-audio transmission using DANTETM protocol is available as an option.

Despite the many new possibilities and state-of-the-art technology, the D MOD can replace an existing analog or digital controller by simple front-panel installation. This puts your public address system back on the cutting edge of technology.

The MAX-AI-DA is a Dante™ Audio with HDMI 2.0 ports input card for Media Axis™ supporting 4K/60 4:4:4 resolutions and Dante™/AES67 IP audio. Each MAX-AI-DA has primary and secondary RJ-45 ports for IP audio, four HDMI ports, and four stereo unbalanced analog ports. Media Axis is the world's only 4K60 cross platform, multi frame size matrix system with Dante and AV over IP connectivity.

MX2M-AUX-DANTE-32CH is a Dante and AES67 compatible input and output board for the MX2M modular matrix family. The hot-swappable IO board is seen as two distinct Dante devices from the Dante network.

Each Dante card can simultaneously send and receive 16 mono audio channels from the Dante network it is connected to via its 1GbE connectors. This makes the board capable of sending and receiving 2 x 16 mono audio channels from the same or different Dante domains with the same or different sampling frequencies.

The received audio is made available to all video and audio outputs over the audio layer of the matrix as LPCM audio streams. Similarly, the audio sent to the Dante network can originate from any of the video or audio inputs of the matrix carrying LPCM audio.

The board supports redundant operation mode where the same stream is received or transmitted over a Primary and a Secondary Ethernet connector.

AX32 already support 64 channels of Dante IP Audio via an optional module, but in an effort to meet demand for an even higher channel count, our an optional expansion card adds another 128 channels to your digital audio-routing matrix.

Further, with eight slots available for expansion cards, you could ultimately have up to 1,088 Dante/AES67 channels, including the 64 channels that comes as standard, at 48 kHz.

The Dante expansion card also offers sample rate conversion on all channels as well as dual redundancy network ports in order to maximize reliability, reducing the risk of losing valuable production time.

Independent Sample Rate Conversion

The Dante expansion card features per-card sample rate conversion, which by using more cards allows several independent audio networks that run on individual clocks and sample rates to be connected to and unified in a single AX32 unit.

This naturally unleashes a wealth of possibilities for distributing audio across sources and destinations on highly complex setups that e.g. involve sending a feed to an OB truck, while recording at a different sample rate and sending yet another feed to a FOH console or an in-ear monitoring system.

Simply adding more Dante channels may sound trivial, but once you start to think about the actual problems that this amount of channels in combination with independent sample rate conversion is capable of solving, it’s a quite significant improvement of the overall system.

For instance, the new Dante card will immediately be able to solve real-world challenges in regard to high channel counts when working with Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite, as well as in recording studios where Dante based monitoring systems are used, but there is a need to record at a different sample rate or in Live applications where there Dante networks have to be kept physically separated when operating on different clocks.

The internal sample rate converters on the new Dante cards have been developed in-house and we have never compromised on the quality of our AD/DA converters – or internal sample rate conversion within the digital domain. ‘Digital’ is simply part of our brand name and we take that very seriously!

Details

The Dante card can operate either as a single 128x128 channel interface with a switch for the two Ethernet connectors or redundantly, where the two Ethernet connecters are connected to different networks each carrying 128x128 channels. If more cards are installed, each card can be connected to a different network or more cards can be connected to the same network via an external Ethernet switch or by bridging the network between the cards when operating in non-redundant mode.

The Dante card can operate in Dante mode or AES67 mode with support for discovery via SAP. In Dante mode, Dante Domain Manager (DDM) is supported for enhanced network management functionality. Configuration of the card is managed via DADman.
