About Dante

Dante is an innovative Ethernet-compatible audio networking technology developed by Audinate that meets the growing demands of the live audio industry and offers high-performance audio, routing flexibility, and affordable direct computer recording. It uses CAT5 cable and standard network components to distribute multiple audio streams and integrated control data with sub-millisecond latency.

Dante Virtual Soundcard is software from Audinate that allows you to connect up to 32 channels from your SQ at 96kHz or 64 channels at 48kHz, directly to your PC or Mac via the Ethernet port, ideal for multi-track recording and playback or for processing with popular plug-ins. Dante Virtual Soundcard licenses can be purchased from Audinate.
