Placa de expansão Behringer X-DANTE para X32 — áudio de rede Dante 32 canais

Behringer X-DANTE for X32 is an expansion card that adds Dante network audio connectivity to the X32 digital mixer, enabling up to 32 channels of low-latency, multichannel audio transport over standard Ethernet. Designed for installation into the X32 expansion slot, the card facilitates direct integration with Dante-equipped consoles, stage boxes, computers and networked audio devices, simplifying signal routing and distributed audio system design for live sound, recording and installed audio applications.

Advantages

The Behringer X-DANTE provides high-channel-count audio streaming without the need for bulky analog snakes, reducing cabling and infrastructure complexity. It supports low-latency AES67/Dante-compatible routing for reliable timing and synchronization across devices. Installation into the X32 expansion slot is straightforward and preserves the mixer’s local I/O while enabling remote I/O and networked signal distribution. The card is suitable for mixed live and studio environments where flexible routing and compatibility with Dante ecosystems are required.

Suitable for

• Live sound systems requiring multichannel stage-to-mix connectivity
• Studio routing between DAWs, interfaces and networked I/O
• Installed audio and distributed sound systems in venues and houses of worship
• AV productions and event setups using Dante-enabled devices

Key specifications

• Network protocol: Dante-compatible audio networking
• Channel count: Support for up to 32 audio channels
• Latency: Low-latency network audio transport suitable for live use
• Connectivity: Standard Ethernet network interface for audio transport (requires compatible switch or direct connection)
• Form factor: Expansion card designed specifically for installation in the X32 expansion slot

How to use

Power down the X32 mixer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to access the expansion slot. Insert the X-DANTE card into the expansion bay and secure it per the X32 service manual. Connect the card to a network switch or directly to Dante-enabled devices using standard Ethernet cabling. Use Dante Controller (or compatible routing software) to route channels between the X32 and other Dante endpoints, and configure clocking and latency settings as required. After installation, power on the X32 and verify audio routing and network connectivity before live operation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in live and installed systems, use a quality network switch with Gigabit ports and enable features recommended for audio networks (such as QoS and IGMP snooping). Maintain separate network segments for control and audio where possible, and follow Dante best practices for clocking and redundancy when designing multidevice setups.
