Allen & Heath DANTE 128x128 Audio Networking Card

Integrate your dLive and Avantis boards into a wide range of live, installed, and broadcast audio networks with the Dante 128x128 from Allen & Heath, a Dante audio networking card that provides dLive and Avantis mixing consoles with 128 channels of bidirectional audio at sample rates of either 48 or 96 kHz. Sporting both primary and secondary RJ45 ports for redundancy, as well as an extra control network port for device configuration, this card offers low-latency digital audio to both Dante networks and existing networks that use off-the-shelf cabling and hardware, thanks to the built-in AES67 AoIP support.

The Dante 128x128 is fully compatible with the Dante Domain Manager (DDM), which enables integration with large-scale networks and easy routing across sub-networks while maintaining powerful security and authentication protocols. The Internal Network Bridge lets you easily switch between the dLive or Avantis control network and the Dante control network on the fly. And with simple plug-and-play integration with compatible mixing boards, you can get to work with minimal hassle or set up time.
