Page 8: Removing The Driver
9 SELECTING THE ASIO PARAMETERS The size of the buffers used by the ASIO driver, and the size of the buffers used by the LX-DANTE card have an impact on the latency, but also on the audio quality. While the higher buffer size reduces load to the computer CPU but produces latency during recording/playback, the smaller buffer size may result in noise typically due to the sound cutting off. - Page 9 ● ASIO Buffer size = buffer size for the ASIO driver. Setting value: 32 to 2048 samples ● DMA Transaction Size = buffer size for the card. Setting value: 16, 32 samples Installation of the LX-DANTE driver is now complete.

Page 10: Configuration Of The Dante Parameters
Network Configuration Once you have installed the LX-DANTE card in your computer and connected it to a network, you are in a position to start using Dante networking to set up audio routing between other Dante-enabled devices you may have on the network. - Page 11 Configurations Straight-through connection to another Dante enabled device Because the LX-DANTEr is a dedicated audio interface, Dante Controller must connect to the network via the standard network adapter on the computer. Because of this, do not make a ‘straight-through’ connection from the LX-DANTE to another Dante-enabled device.
