Dante is a high-performance digital media protocol designed to deliver audio over a standard Ethernet IP network. The X-DANTE card allows the X32 series of digital mixers to share up to 32 x 32 channels of audio with any network of Dante-enabled devices via single or redundant Ethernet connection. Using existing network infrastructure at 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s, the Dante protocol oers very stable, low-latency transmission for a variety of professional applications unifying multi-channel audio distribution across multiple locations or device families.

Before you install the X-DANTE card in the expansion slot of the X32 console, you must check behringer.com to verify whether the console rmware supports that card. Minimum required X32 rmware for X-DANTE is version 2.0. We recommend that you periodically check your console’s product page for console rmware updates. Caution – before installing the X-DANTE card into the console, you must make sure that the console’s power switch is turned o. Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.

1. Make sure that the mixer’s power is turned o.

2. Loosen the 2 screws left and right that fasten the slot,

then remove the slot cover or currently-installed card and keep it in a safe place.

3. Before removing the X-DANTE card from its protective bag,

we recommend touching the grounded metal chassis of the console to prevent electrostatic discharges aecting the sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea to hold the card either by the face plate or by the two small handles, but never touching the components on the circuit board directly.

4. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the

slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. It should slide in without any considerable resistance. Push the card all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the card are correctly inserted into the connector inside.

5. Fasten the card using the included screws. Be aware

that damage or malfunctions may occur if the card is not fastened.

• 2x RJ45 connectors with integrated LEDs

• ACT/LINK LED (green) lights green when valid IP network connection exists.

• 1 G LED (amber) lights when used in 1 GBit/s network.

• 2x small handles (St) for removing the expansion card from the slot

• 2x outer screws for xing the card in the slot (M3 x 6 size).

• 3x countersunk screws xing the PCBA to the bracket. Do not remove these!15Quick Start Guide

5.5 Two X32 consoles with X-DANTE

connection to DVS for recording 64 simultaneous tracks

• Both consoles need to have X-DANTE cards installed. Connectone of the X-DANTE Ethernet ports on console A with the card installed in console B.

• Connect the second port of console B, either directly with the DAW-PC/Mac or via a network router to which the DAW has access. This link will carry all 64 channels to and from both consoles.

• Tip: The console’s Ethernet remote control can be done over the same network. For remote controlling console A in this example, it is sucient to use a short patch cable connecting console A’s Remote connector with the free port on X-DANTE. Since both ports on X-DANTE of console B are occupied already, you would need to patch a separate cable to the network router.

• Open the Dante Virtual Soundcard driver control panel and switch it ON.

• Run the Dante Controller application to congure the virtual channel patch bay and route the channels between Dante Virtual Soundcard and the consoles.

The following four X32 screens have to do with conguring the X-DANTE and the signals to/from the card.

• The SETUP/card screen shows a graphic of the X-DANTE card when it has been installed correctly, and oers advice on setup.

• The SETUP/cong page selects the synchronization source and shows status indicators in the top ‘global’ area (which should normally be “C” for X-DANTE Card).

• The ROUTING/home page allows patching of signals from the X-DANTE card to the Input Channel processing. (e.g. channel 1-4 on Aux In)20 EXPANSION CARD X-DANTE

• The ROUTING/card out page selects channel blocks that will be provided to the Dante network controller. (e.g. 8 Local Outputs and 3 x 8 signals from AES50 Port A) Note that the Dante network routing must be congured exclusively using the Dante Controller Application for Mac/PC. The signals that have been routed from the Dante Controller App to the X-DANTE card are available for patching to the input channel routing on the console’s Routing/Home page. Please refer to audinate.com for a comprehensive set of documentation, FAQ and forum advices on conguring the Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard applications. Synchronization A master word clock source must be selected for the network. The X-DANTE Brooklyn II VCXO clock oers extremely low-jitter. In this case the Setup/Cong page should look like this: Note that the status bar shows “C: 44K1” and a green light for proper synchronization of 44.1 kHz to the card. The second green light “C: Dante” indicates proper installation of the X-DANTE card. The Dante Controller app congures the network for using the X-DANTE VCXO clock in this application.21Quick Start Guide See the X32 PRODUCER line, which is congured for Clock Status Master in the following example: Note that the check boxes for ‘Slave to External Word Clock’ are unchecked in this application. Alternative Synchronization: Use the internal X32 clock as master clock. In this case the Setup/Cong page should look like this: Note that the status bar shows “L 44K1” and a green light for Local (internal) clock of 44.1 kHz. The second green light “C: Dante” indicates proper installation of the X-DANTE card.22 EXPANSION CARD X-DANTE The Dante Controller must now be congured for “Slave to External Word Clock” in this application. See the X32 PRODUCER line, which is congured Master in this example: Renaming Dante Devices “Device View” By default, the X-DANTE card may show up as “BKLYN-II-06f732” in the controller app. The last six digits represent a part of the card’s Ethernet MAC address. However, the controller’s Device View allows assigning a more descriptive name to the network device, see example below.

7. Audinate Software Tools

Dante Controller The Dante Controller is a software application provided by Audinate which allows users to congure and route audio around Dante networks. It is available for PCs running Windows and Apple Macs running OSX 10.5. Dante Controller must be installed on one or more PC/Mac computers on the Dante network in order to change any signal routing or clocking in the network. Dante Controller is not required, when everything is pre-congured, for running audio between Dante devices over the network. Dante Virtual Soundcard The Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software application that turns your PC or Mac into a Dante-enabled device, allowing Dante audio trac to be transmitted and received using the standard Ethernet port. No additional hardware is required. On Windows, the Dante Virtual Soundcard uses Steinberg’s ASIO audio interface, and can be used with any audio application that supports ASIO or WDM. On Mac OSX, the Dante Virtual Soundcard uses the standard Core Audio interface, and can be used by almost any standard audio application. Visit audinate.com for further advice on downloading and licensing these applications.23Quick Start Guide
