Page 5: About Dante
About DANTE Based on industry standards, Audinate created Dante, an uncompressed, multi-channel digital media network- ing technology, with near-zero latency and synchronization. Dante is the preferred audio networking solution that has been adopted by more pro-audio AV manufacturers than any other networking technology. Interoperability is not a dream of the future, but a reality today. - Page 6 About DANTE device latencies. There is no longer any need to remember device IDs or channel numbers. Instead, a single audio channel is referred to just like an email address: “leadVocal @ StageBoxSL or ”chairmans_mic @ conferenceroomA”. Set it and forget it. Once the network is configured, the computer running Dante Controller can be removed from the network, and reconnected only if changes are required or system monitoring is desired.

Page 7: Network Setup
Network Setup Dante Controller Software Dante Controller software is used to set up Simple-IP on yur network. You can set up the audio paths and network configuration with the software and then turn it off. The setup is saved to the Dante devices. Dante Controller is a free software application that enables you to route audio and configure devices on a Dante network. -
Page 8: Ethernet Cabling
Ethernet Hardware Ethernet Cabling While Simple-IP and Dante will operate on 100Mbit networks, a Gigabit network is recommended. Cable types should be either: (1) CAT5e, or (2) CAT6. Both shielded and unshielded cables are suitable but shielded cables may be more appropriate depending on your RF environment. - Page 9 The Network A Multi-use or a Dedicated Network ? Simple-IP and DANTE devices can be placed on an ethernet network that includes other PCs and network traffic, such as your business network. For casual audio transport this is perfectly acceptable. For mission critical audio transport a separate, audio only, network is recommended.
