Professional audio equipment for NAMM attendees

Dante: the networking standard for the professional AV industry

Dante is a digital network protocol widely used in the professional AV industry. It operates similarly to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), but for AV devices, think of it as the digital successor to traditional analog AV connections, or AV-over-IP (AVoIP). Dante leverages industry-standard network hardware and software common in computing to integrate and replace traditional analog AV connectivity options to deliver uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency digital AV signals.

In addition to being more cost-effective than traditional analog AV connectivity options, Dante is easier to deploy and offers greater flexibility than traditional alternatives. Dante replaces bulky analog cables with the same thin Ethernet cables used to connect computers and network devices. This ensures that your AV signals are transmitted with perfect digital fidelity. Currently, Dante functionality is built into more than 3,000 products from more than 500 manufacturers and developers, ensuring brand-independent compatibility.
