Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) is a combination of software, hardware, and network protocols that deliver uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency digital audio over a standard Ethernet network using Layer 3 IP packets. Developed in 2006 by a Sydney-based company named Audinate, Dante builds and improves on previous audio over Ethernet technologies, such as CobraNet and EtherSound.
Like most other audio over Ethernet technologies, Dante is primarily for professional, commercial applications. Most often, it is used in applications where a large number of audio channels must be transmitted over relatively long distances or to multiple locations.
Digital audio provides several advantages over traditional analog audio distribution. Audio transmitted over analog cables can be adversely affected by signal degradation due to electromagnetic interference, high-frequency attenuation, and voltage drop over long cable runs. Thanks to digital multiplexing, the cabling requirements for digital audio distribution are almost always reduced when compared to analog audio. Dante also provides specific advantages over first-generation audio over Ethernet technologies, such as CobraNet and EtherSound. Technological advancements include native gigabit support, higher channel count, lower latency, and automatic configuration.
History
After Motorola closed an Australian research facility in 2003, current Audinate CTO Aidan Williams brought a team of researchers to the National Information and Communication Technology Australia (NICTA) research centre in Sydney, Australia. There, with the help of government funding, the team spent three years developing the foundations of Dante. In 2006, Williams founded Audinate and began the process of bringing Dante to the market.[7]
Audinate received funding from NICTA until negotiations concluded in 2006, at which point Audinate became NICTA’s first successful spin-out company. Since 2006, Audinate has also secured two rounds of $4 million investments led by venture capital firms Starfish Ventures and Innovation Capital. In 2009, Audinate established an office in Portland, Oregon and named Lee Ellison as CEO. Audinate also has offices in London and Hong Kong.
Since its founding, Audinate has licensed 350 companies, which have produced 1000 products that incorporate Dante technology.
Platforms
Audinate offers Dante technology on a number of hardware and software platforms.
• Virtual soundcard – software interface for PC and Mac
• Brooklyn II – medium channel count module, Gigabit Ethernet

Set up Yamaha & Soundcraft Consoles to connect NBB-1616

For an application with a digital audio console in the Dante network, you may want the console to be a clock master. I.e., the console internal clock clocks the Dante interface of the console, and then the Dante interface of the console distributes master clock throughout the Dante network. If this is the case, you can simply configure the Dante interface of the console to be clocked by the internal clock of the console by enabling the SyncToExternal option in Dante Controller software. The Dante interface of the console will then be elevated to a clock master automatically. Below is an example of configuring the Yamaha MY16-AUD Dante interface card to be clocked by the internal clock of the console itself via Dante Controller software.

Please be notified that only one Dante interface of a console can be set to SyncToExternal if there are more than one consoles in the network. All the other Dante interfaces of consoles should be instead synced to the clock from Dante network. And you should also go to the setup pages of these consoles and manually configure the word clocks of these consoles to be synced to the clocks from Dante interfaces respectively. Below is an examples of setting of source of word clock for Yamaha LS9 digital console. The left one shows the word clock of the console is synced to the internal clock of the console itself so that the console itself become a clock master; while the right one shows the word clock is synced to the MY16-AUD Dante interface card in the console so the console itself is no longer be a clock master.

Similarly, if you have the NBB-1616 to work with Soundcraft Dante-enabled console, you need to make sure the source of word clock of the console is set properly by accessing the Sync tab in the console’s main MENU screen on master bay. Here is the example of setting for Soundcraft Vi3000 console.

Please be informed that the Vi 3000 local MADI and Dante ports share an input and so are exclusive. You also have to choose the DANTE as active input from the DANTE/MADI global switch in the Settings tab of the main MENU screen.
