• AES67 must be disabled in Dante Controller to turn encryption on or off. AES67 encryption is currently not supported.

AES67

AES67 is a networked audio standard that enables communication between hardware components which use different IP au­
dio technologies. This Shure device supports AES67 for increased compatibility within networked systems for live sound, inte­
grated installations, and broadcast applications.
The following information is critical when transmitting or receiving AES67 signals:
• Update Dante Controller software to the newest available version to ensure the AES67 configuration tab appears.
• Before turning encryption on or off, you must disable AES67 in Dante Controller.
• AES67 cannot operate when the transmit and receive devices both support Dante.
Shure Device Supports:
Dante and AES67
Dante and AES67
Separate Dante and AES67 flows can operate simultaneously. The total number of flows is determined by the maximum flow
limit of the device.

Sending Audio from a Shure Device

All AES67 configuration is managed in Dante Controller software. For more information, refer to the Dante Controller user
guide.
1. Open the Shure transmitting device in Dante Controller.
2. Enable AES67.
3. Reboot the Shure device.
4. Create AES67 flows according to the instructions in the

Receiving Audio from a Device Using a Different Audio Network Protocol

Third-party devices: When the hardware supports SAP, flows are identified in the routing software that the device uses. Oth­
erwise, to receive an AES67 flow, the AES67 session ID and IP address are required.
Shure devices: The transmitting device must support SAP. In Dante Controller, a transmit device (appears as an IP address)
can be routed like any other Dante device.

Switch and Cable Recommendations for Dante Networking

Switches and cables determine how well your audio network performs. Use high­quality switches and cables to make your au­
dio network more reliable.
Network switches should have:
• Gigabit ports. 10/100 switches may work on small networks, but gigabit switches perform better.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) or PoE+ ports for any devices that require power
• Management features to provide information about port speed, error counters, and bandwidth used
