Overview
M-SQ-DANT64 is the full 64x64 Dante card for the I/O Port on Allen & Heath SQ mixers and AHM processors, using the whole capacity of the SQ I/O Port. It switches between 96kHz and 48kHz to suit the Dante network, has two locking EtherCon ports for redundant or switched operation, and is Dante Domain Manager ready and AES67 compatible with an internal control network bridge. Use it for 64 track recording with Dante Virtual Soundcard (sold separately), feeding a broadcast or streaming rig, or running several DT168 and DT164-W expanders.
