EXPANSION CARD X-DANTE
1. Introduction
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 offers
very stable, low-latency transmission for a variety of professional
applications unifying multi-channel audio distribution across
multiple locations or device families.
2. Installation
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 firmware supports that card. Minimum required
X32 firmware for X-DANTE is version 2.0. We recommend that
you periodically check your console's product page for console
firmware updates.
Caution – before installing the X-DANTE card into the console,
you must make sure that the console's power switch is turned off.
Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
1.
Make sure that the mixer's power is turned off.
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 affecting 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.
