Dante Flashcards
What does DANTE stand for
Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet
Why is flexible cabling important for space design?
Flexible cabling allows for versatile setups and easy reconfiguration, providing adaptability and without complex installations
reducing future costs and effort in redesigning the space.
How does reducing bulky cables improve cost and space efficiency?
Using CAT5E cable instead of bulky, expensive 24-pair Audio Multicore cables results in lower installation and maintenance costs, freeing up space for other components and reducing overall complexity.
TLDR lowers costs and frees space
How does dante work
Dante sends audio as IP packets through an Ethernet network, allowing devices to share high-quality audio without interference or signal loss. It replaces analog cables with a single network cable, making setups simpler and more flexible.
What are the advantages of using Dante technology for audio transmission?
Long distances
Multiple locations simulatensoly
Eliminates electromagnetic interferances and voltage drops
How does Dante handle +48v Phantom Power?
+48v Phantom Power is managed at the stagebox, preamp, or interface source, ensuring no additional complications for devices receiving power.
What is the typical integration process for Dante in a local area network (LAN)?
Dante integration in a LAN or WAN is usually straightforward, but in large institutions like universities, it requires additional layers of support to ensure network safety and data security.
How does Dante ensure redundancy in network setups?
Dante offers redundant networking options (e.g., dual network cables) to ensure failover protection.
If a cable fails the system automatically switches to the backup connection, preventing audio dropouts during critical live events or performances.
What is the benefit of Dante’s network scalability
Allows you to easily expand the network by adding devices without major changes, supporting thousands of audio channels over a single network. This makes it perfect for large venues and studios.
What is flexible cabling in live sound
Lightweight, easy-to-move cables that make setup, adjustments, and routing quick and simple in live sound. - adaptable for venues
