Overview
The M-DL-DANT128-AX adds 128 bidirectional channels of Dante to a dLive or Avantis system, at 48 or 96 kHz. Use it for multitrack recording and virtual soundcheck, distributing audio round a venue, or running Allen & Heath DT stage boxes.
Primary and secondary ports on locking etherCON support redundant or switched networks, and a separate control network port lets you reach the console over the Dante network.

Forefront Tip
Dante Virtual Soundcard tops out at 64 channels at 48 kHz, so for 128 track recording at 96 kHz use a hardware Dante recorder or interface. Run primary and secondary on separate switches for real redundancy.
