Why would I need the X-DANTE card for my X32 mixer?

The card expands your X32 with 32 bi-directional Dante audio channels, allowing you to send and receive audio over Ethernet to other Dante-compatible devices in professional live sound and recording environments.

Can the X-DANTE card handle redundant network connections for mission-critical events?

Yes, the secondary Ethernet port enables redundant audio networking, providing backup connectivity so your audio stream continues uninterrupted during critical live performances or broadcasts.

What audio resolution does the X-DANTE card support?

The X-DANTE operates at 24-bit/48 kHz resolution, delivering professional audio quality for recording, live mixing, and distribution across Dante networks.

Is the X-DANTE suitable for large multi-stage venue setups?

Yes, the 32 channels and Dante networking make it ideal for complex live sound scenarios where you need to route audio between remote stage boxes, monitors, and recording systems.

What network speeds does the X-DANTE support?

The card is compatible with both 100 Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet, with QoS support via DSCP-based prioritization to ensure audio streams are handled with appropriate network priority.

Do I need special cables or networking expertise to use the X-DANTE?

Standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables work with the card, though proper network configuration and understanding of Dante protocols is helpful. Contact Procure.ae for installation guidance if needed.

What is the typical lead time for Dante expansion cards in the UAE?

Availability and delivery timelines vary based on stock levels. Contact Procure.ae to confirm current lead times and arrange shipping to your venue or studio.

Can Procure.ae assist with network integration and Dante configuration?

Procure.ae can discuss technical support for integration on a request basis. Reach out to the team to explore what setup assistance may be available for your project.

Is the X-DANTE card compatible only with the X32 mixer?

The X-DANTE is an expansion card designed specifically for the X32 mixer. Confirm compatibility with your exact X32 model by contacting Procure.ae.

What warranty coverage does the X-DANTE card include?

Standard product warranty applies. For complete warranty details and any extended protection options, please contact Procure.ae.

What makes redundant Dante networking important for live events?

Redundancy ensures that if one network connection fails, audio continues flowing through the backup path, preventing silence or sound loss during critical moments in live performances.

Behringer X-DANTE 32-Channel Dante Expansion Card for X32

Name: Behringer X-DANTE 32-Channel Dante Expansion Card for X32
Brand: Behringer
SKU: XDANTE

The Behringer X-DANTE expansion card adds 32 bi-directional Dante audio channels at 24-bit/48 kHz to the X32 mixer, supporting 100 Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet with DSCP-based QoS. A secondary Ethernet port enables redundant audio networking for mission-critical live sound use.

Overview

The Behringer X-DANTE is a 32-channel Audinate Dante expansion card designed to extend the recording and audio routing capabilities of the X32 digital mixing console. It plugs directly into the expansion slot on the rear of the X32 and delivers 32 simultaneous bi-directional audio channels at 24-bit/48 kHz resolution over standard 100 Mbit/s or Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure with DSCP-based QoS prioritisation. The on-board integrated Ethernet switch and secondary port allow users to set up redundant audio networking for added reliability in live event and broadcast environments. Audio signals with mixed bit depths and sample rates can coexist on the same network simultaneously, making the X-DANTE a highly flexible solution for complex AV installations.
