Avid announces a new Dante Option Card for Avid’s flagship VENUE | S6L live sound system. Available now, the VENUE | DNT-192 Dante Option Card enables engineers to integrate VENUE | S6L with Dante-enabled devices and existing Dante networks.
The 16-channel audio interface card delivers Dante connectivity and communication to VENUE | S6L systems, and preserves the full quality and integrity of original sound sources.
“We’re excited that the Dante card for the Avid VENUE | S6L is now shipping,” said John Rechsteiner, VP of Global Sales and Support at Audinate. “Avid and Audinate are both leaders in their respective markets, and this project is the result of several years of collaboration between the two companies. The availability of the Dante option card represents a great opportunity for Avid customers to connect to the over 800 Dante-enabled products available today.”
Based on the Dante Brooklyn II module, the DNT-192 Card enables users to integrate VENUE | S6L with a network of Gigabit Dante-enabled devices, including external audio mixers, amps, preamps, DSP, wireless mics, and more, while avoiding the pitfalls of analog connections, including signal degradation, crosstalk and electrical interference. Customers can install up to six Dante cards in a single Stage 64 for a maximum total of 64 inputs and 32 outputs per rack.
The free Dante Controller software enables users to quickly configure cards and devices, monitor signal health and status, and route audio throughout their entire Dante network. Set up is smoother and faster than ever before thanks to automatic device discovery, one-click signal routing, and user-editable device and channel labels.
VENUE | S6L is a fully modular, scalable live sound mixing system for a range of live sound mixing applications, including front of house, monitor, broadcast, theater, and more. Featuring modern, touchscreen workflows and an advanced live sound engine, VENUE | S6L offers power to easily handle large, complex tours and events. Thanks to tight integration with Pro Tools, VENUE | S6L can function as a front-end to the Avid MediaCentral Platform.
