Physical Dante Network Setup

A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled
devices like the AXI 02 AT. Other devices capable of sending and receiving audio over a
Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate via Dante
(see figure 26 for an example of a physical Dante network).

Dante Controller Operation

Dante Controller is used for all network signal routing of Transmitters and Receivers for
Dante-enabled devices. The analog output and mirrored S/PDIF channels of the AXI 02 AT
are shown in Dante Controller as receivers, and are available in Dante Controller for routing
with other Dante devices.

Dante Transmitters and Receivers

A Dante network is comprised of transmitters that output digital audio onto the Dante
network and receivers that receive digital audio input from the Dante network.
AXI Transmitters and Receivers
The AXI 02 AT does not have any Dante Transmit channels.
The AXI 02 AT analog outputs are listed as Dante receivers because they receive digital
audio from the Dante network and output that signal as analog audio via the analog outputs.
Signal received by the analog outputs from the network is also mirrored to the S/PDIF
output.
