Dante Flows for Shure Devices
Dante flows get created any time you route audio from one Dante device to another. One Dante flow can contain up to 4 audio
channels. For example: sending all 5 available channels from an MXA310 to another device uses 2 Dante flows, because 1
flow can contain up to 4 channels.
Every Dante device has a specific number of transmit flows and receive flows. The number of flows is determined by Dante
platform capabilities.
Unicast and multicast transmission settings also affect the number of Dante flows a device can send or receive. Using multi
cast transmission can help overcome unicast flow limitations.
Shure devices use different Dante platforms:
Dante Platform
Brooklyn II
Brooklyn II (without SRAM)
Ultimo/UltimoX
DAL

QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable audio delivery on larger networks with
heavy traffic. This feature is available on most managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is
recommended.
Note: Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign Dante -associated queue values.
•
Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP events
•
Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.

Medium (3)

Note: Switch management may vary by manufacturer and switch type. Consult the manufacturer's product guide for specific configuration details.
