DL Dante Expansion Card

The Mackie DL Dante Expansion card connects the DL32R
32-Channel Digital Live Sound mixer to any Dante-enabled
audio network.

Dante is the de facto standard in digital audio
networking, delivering unmatched audio quality, extremely
flexible routing and offers significant cost savings compared
to traditional analog cable runs.

With 32x32 channels of Dante I/O, the user can
route Dante inputs like microphones and other sources
to any channel on the DL32R. It’s also perfect for sending
any DL32R signal to Dante enabled loudspeaker systems
and amplifiers.

The card features dual Dante ports for daisy chaining
or system redundancy and a dedicated Wi-Fi control
port that eliminates the need for an Ethernet switch
in many situations.

The DL Dante Expansion Card includes Dante Virtual
Sound Card, which enables multi-tracking recording /
playback between Dante and a Mac or PC.
