Dante Audio Channel License 32x32 Channels
Key Features:
- Enables 32 inbound and 32 outbound channels of Dante™ networked audio
- Software-based deployment—no physical hardware installation or I/O frame slots required
- Compatible with Q-SYS Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, and NV-32-H (Core Mode)
- Supports Dante Controller for easy routing and device discovery
- Fully integrated into Q-SYS Designer Software for unified control and monitoring
- Facilitates high-quality, low-latency audio transport over standard IT networks
- Perpetual license tied to the specific hardware ID of the Q-SYS processor
- Simplifies integration with Dante-enabled microphones, amplifiers, and stage boxes
Seamless Software-Based Integration
The SL-DAN-32-P license represents the modern approach to AV system expansion. By moving away from proprietary hardware cards, this software-based license allows integrators to add Dante functionality to a Q-SYS system instantly. This reduces the physical footprint in the rack, lowers power consumption, and eliminates the logistical challenges of shipping and installing hardware components in the field.
Interoperability at Scale
With 32 channels of bidirectional audio, this license provides ample capacity for medium-to-large installations. It allows a Q-SYS Core to act as the central processing hub for a wide array of Dante-enabled peripherals, such as wireless microphone receivers, mixing consoles, and networked ceiling speakers. This interoperability ensures that designers can choose the "best-in-class" hardware for every application while maintaining a single point of control within the Q-SYS environment.
Simplified Management and Deployment
Once the license is activated, Dante channels appear as native components within the Q-SYS Designer Software. This allows for advanced signal processing, AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), and sophisticated routing to be applied to Dante streams just as easily as local analog inputs. Because it leverages standard Ethernet infrastructure, it simplifies the cabling requirements and allows for remote management and troubleshooting via the network, significantly reducing total cost of ownership.
