Maximize Dante’s potential in your audio setup. Andrew walks through network deployment and patching. Focus on isolating Dante traffic on dedicated switches for a more reliable setup. Take note of some of these best practices to patch audio channels in Dante Controller. This will simplify routing and enhance system flexibility and performance.
Key Points:
- Dante networks typically use a primary and secondary network switch. These switches separate Dante audio traffic from other network data. This makes the audio traffic more reliable and predictable.
- Separating Dante traffic helps prevent network issues. It also makes managing the system easier, especially if your church doesn’t have a dedicated IT network engineer on staff.
- To patch audio channels in Dante, you need to know the different between transmit and receive channels. Make sure to align them correctly when routing.
- Patching efficiently includes labeling input and output channels clearly in the Dante Controller. This makes it easier to navigate and configure the system with minimal confusion.
- Patching in Dante is as simple as “point-and-click” to connect or disconnect routes.
- To do more detailed patching operations, use the device view. This helps you manage receive channels directly and label them for specific inputs or outputs.
- Andrew discusses how managing screens in Dante Controller is important. He recommends using a smaller window which can make patching easier. This way, you can see everything more clearly and find channels faster.
