Overview

XMP 240 C AT devices use Dante technology by Audinate to provide high performance
digital audio networking over standard TCP/IP networks. The Dante Controller software
application is used to route audio on the network. Dante allows audio channels to be
transported across a switched Ethernet data network while meeting the quality requirements
of professional audio.
Up to 48 channels can be transmitted from the XMP 240 C AT to the Dante network and up
to 48 channels can be received by the XMP 240 C AT from the Dante network.
Audio signals are converted by XMP 240 C AT devices, processed and routed to the AT
bus, and transmitted onto the Dante network. Audinate recommends the Dante audio
network be kept separate from other networks. However, the audio network can be shared
with control traffic or unrelated data traffic. Audio channels can be unicast or multicast to
make the best use of available bandwidth.
