Audinate Announces 200th Dante Licensee, Over 20 Million Channels Shipped

Hit new just six months after announcing the 150th manufacturer to adopt Dante

Audinate has announced that 200 manufacturers have now adopted the Dante audio over IP networking protocol, hitting this milestone six months after announcing the 150th manufacturer to adopt Dante.

The 200th licensee is AD Systems, a German company specializing in amplifiers and loudspeakers. “We’re excited to be Dante’s 200th licensee and help celebrate this major milestone,” states Sven Haferkamp of AD Systems. “Including Dante in our products was an easy decision as Dante has become the de facto standard for audio networking and opens up new markets for us.”

Dante is also expanding to include manufacturers from diverse vertical markets including broadcast, conferencing, information technology and communications.

In addition, Audinate announced that it has shipped more than 20 million Dante network channels to date, with 50 percent of those shipping in the past 12 months.

The proliferation has been driven by an increasing number of earlier licensees now shipping Dante-enabled products, as well as increased demand from the market, and Audinate expects this number to continue to accelerate as products from recent licensees hit the market and existing manufacturers integrate Dante into more products.

“We are pleased that so many manufacturers have aligned around Dante as their preferred solution for audio networking,” says Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. “The rapid growth we’ve seen in the last 12 months is indicative that the ‘network effect’ is in full swing, which will only make Dante more valuable to OEMs and end users alike.”
