Engineers Handbook : The Ultimate Dante Audio Primer

What is Dante? Dante is an audio-over-Ethernet protocol that lets you move multichannel digital audio between devices using standard network equipment and cables. In this three-part Puremix series, award-winning engineer Fab Dupont takes Dante out of the IT world and explains it in musicians' terms, so you can use it in a real studio.

Drawing from his own setup at Flux Studios NYC, in the heart of Manhattan, Fab shows how he connects multiple rooms, shares equipment and routes audio throughout the building. He covers the fundamentals of how audio over Ethernet works, the hardware and software you need (managed switches, Ethernet cables, Dante Virtual Soundcard and Dante Controller), and how transmitters, receivers, subscriptions and clocking work together. He also compares Dante with other audio networking protocols (AVB, Milan, AES67 and Ravenna).

In this series, you will learn how to:
• Understand how Dante and audio over Ethernet work
• Choose the right network hardware and cables
• Route audio and manage subscriptions in Dante Controller
• Set up clocking, latency, sample rates and presets
• Troubleshoot missing devices, dropouts and clocking conflicts

Whether you are just getting started or want more from your existing setup, no IT degree is required. Watch the trailer, then dive into the full series.
