What's Dante

These pages explain basic information of Dante, focusing on the four keywords: “High quality,” “Simple,” “Scalable,” and “Secure.” The beginners also find it easy to understand Dante.

Dante is an audio networking technology developed by Audinate. Dante devices on the same network automatically detect each other. This can make setting up a system simpler and thus reduce complexity and potential errors. In this sense, Dante can be thought of as a plug-and-play network technology.

This guide focuses on network design rather than the basic specifications of individual products and Dante network.
