Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dante audio networking and how does it benefit my facility?
Dante is a professional audio network standard that sends high-quality audio over standard Ethernet cables, reducing the number of individual audio cables needed. This simplifies installations, enables scalable system growth, and integrates with modern network infrastructure.
How many audio channels can the M-DL-ADAPT-AX handle?
The M-DL-ADAPT-AX provides 64x64 Dante audio networking, meaning it can simultaneously transmit 64 input channels and 64 output channels across your network. This supports large-scale productions and complex multi-stage setups.
What is Waves SoundGrid and why would I use it with dLive?
Waves SoundGrid is a professional networked audio platform for real-time processing and effects. Integration enables you to add industry-standard Waves plugins directly into your dLive mixing workflow.
What is FibreACE and how does it extend my system range?
FibreACE is a long-range audio networking protocol that extends digital audio connections over fiber-optic cables for distances much greater than standard Ethernet. This is ideal for large venues, stadiums, or distributed installations.
Can the M-DL-ADAPT-AX integrate with third-party professional audio networks?
Yes, the card provides Dante and specialized networking connectivity enabling scalable integration with professional digital audio systems beyond dLive. This makes it flexible for large multi-vendor installations.
