Allen & Heath DANTE 128×128
Dante Audio Networking Card
Designed to help integrate dLive and Avantis into a wide range of live, install and broadcast scenarios, the Dante 128×128 audio networking card offers low latency, high channel count connectivity to Dante networks and devices using standard networking cabling and hardware.
With 128 channels of bidirectional audio at 96kHz, the Dante 128×128 card is suitable for high channel digital splits between systems, for instance FOH and MON, whilst offering simultaneous multitrack recording via Dante Virtual Soundcard (available separately), with no compromise in audio quality.
The front panel Primary and Secondary ports allow simultaneous connection to multiple Dante devices, or dual-cable redundancy with compatible hardware. A dedicated Control Network port is provided for configuration using Dante Controller software.
Support for the AES67 standard allows interoperability with other AoIP protocols found in broadcast, install and live sound scenarios and simplifies audio transport between different systems.
Compatibility with Dante Domain Manager (DDM) enables integration with large networks and transparent routing across subnets as well as robust security and authentication options.

The Audinate Dante card (M-DL-DANTE128) is a 128 channel audio networking option card for the dLive range. Audinate’s Dante is an industry standard L3 network protocol providing 512×512 channels of audio at 48kHz or 256×256 channels of audio on 96kHz. The Dante card will provide 128×128 channels at 48kHz or 96kHz on an L3 ethernet infrastructure. The Dante card is compatible with all 48 & 96kHz Dante enabled devices. A redundant secondary network connection is available for network redundancy. Dante Domain Manager (DDM) is fully supported. The Dante 128×128 card is compatible with the dLive series
