The Dante-MY16-AUD card is based on Audinate's Dante IP audio networking solution. The card can be used to network low latency, sample accurate audio to Dante networked equipment including Yamaha mixing consoles, DME processors and TXn power amplifiers which have MY16 card slots. Each Dante-MY16-AUD card provides 16 bidirectional audio channels (16 channels at 48 kHz, or 8 channels at 96 kHz) over Gigabit Ethernet with real time network redundancy. Multiple cards may be used to support higher channel count.
Each Dante-MY16-AUD card also includes a licence for Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard - a software program that enhances a PC or Mac into a networked source or destination audio device. Using most digital workstation software programmes, including Nuendo and Cubase, the computer can then be used as a recording platform. No additional hardware sound cards are needed.
"We are very pleased to see Audinate's Dante-MY16-AUD cards now being shipped," said Kazunori Kobayashi, general manager, Yamaha Commercial Audio. "This allows us to provide an alternative networking solution and be responsive to many customers who have requested Dante support in Yamaha products."
"Yamaha has always maintained very high standards for testing and quality before they ship cards commercially. I am very pleased to see the Dante-MY16-AUD card has met those standards and is seeing growing usage across both live and install sound applications," said Lee Ellison, CEO, Audinate.
