INTRODUCTION
STEREO MIXES 1-16
The Livemix LM-DANTE-EXP2 is an add-on option card for the
MIX-16/MIX-32 that allows the Livemix personal monitor system
to connect to a Dante network. The system can receive up to 24
channels from the Dante network. Any published channel can be
assigned to any of the 24 available channels in the Livemix personal
monitor system.
Audinate’s Dante network protocol delivers a no hassle, self
conguring, true plug-and-play digital audio network that uses
standard Internet Protocols over 100Mb and/or Gigabit Ethernet.
Patent-pending Dante technology distributes digital audio plus
integrated control data with sub millisecond latency, sampleaccurate playback synchronization, extreme reliability and high
channel counts.
NOTE:
It is important to
understand how your
Dante devices publish
audio streams to the
network. Many digital
consoles have multiple
output options and many
of them can be published
to the Dante network.
Consult the manual for
your particular Dante
device to ensure you have
published channels to the
network.

1 PRIMARY PORT
Connect a CAT5e or CAT6 network cable to the Primary
port on another Dante equipped device to link the
devices directly. Connect a CAT5e or CAT6 network
cable to a Gigabit switch to connect multiple Dante
enabled devices. Use the Primary port for the main
Dante network or when using a single non-redundant
network.
2 SECONDARY PORT
When conguring a redundant network, use the
secondary port for the second “back-up” network when
using Redundant Mode. The Primary and Secondary
ports become a two port switch for connecting up to 2
devices when the card is in Switched Mode.
Two indicator lights on each port report device status
information.
• The green light indicates data is being transferred.
• The yellow light will illuminate to indicate a 1 Gbps
Ethernet connection. It will be off to indicate a 100
Mbps or lower connection.
