The Klark Teknik DN32-DANTE_001 is a digital audio networking expansion module that provides Audinate Dante connectivity for compatible digital mixing consoles, supporting up to 32 bidirectional channels. This module integrates directly into the host device, enabling it to send and receive high-resolution, low-latency audio over a standard Ethernet network using the pervasive Dante protocol. By adding this module, the console becomes a fully functional node on a Dante audio network, allowing seamless audio sharing with a vast ecosystem of Dante-enabled equipment such as stage boxes, recorders, DSP processors, and other mixers. This dramatically expands the system's potential I/O and simplifies system design by leveraging IP networking for audio distribution.

The module supports professional sample rates and offers the ultra-low, deterministic latency that Dante is known for, ensuring perfect synchronization across all devices on the network—a critical requirement for live sound and multi-room installations. Configuration and routing are managed through the intuitive Dante Controller software, which provides a visual interface for patching audio channels across the network. The integration allows sound engineers to leverage the benefits of Audio-over-IP (AoIP), including reduced cable weight and cost, flexible system scaling, and the ability to place audio interfaces anywhere network cables can reach. It is an essential tool for modernizing audio infrastructure and creating future-proof, scalable systems.

For system integrators and engineers adopting network-based audio solutions, the Klark Teknik DN32-DANTE_001 is a key enabler. It bridges the gap between traditional digital mixers and contemporary IP audio networks, providing a reliable, high-performance gateway to the flexibility and efficiency of Dante-enabled system design.
