Dante provides an easy way to deliver digital audio
The TASCAM ML-16D is a 16-channel analog-to-Dante converter. Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) transmits uncompressed, multichannel digital audio over standard Ethernet with incredibly low latency. At Sweetwater, we've found that using Dante is incredibly convenient. Instead of dealing with a bunch of cumbersome analog cables, you use a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable. Rather than running analog cable throughout a studio or concert venue, you can utilize the structure's existing Ethernet network. The physical location of your devices is irrelevant. As long as your devices are connected to the same Ethernet network, you're good to go. Patching and routing between Dante-enabled devices are handled by Dante Controller software. Dante was originally developed in 2006 and has been adopted by over 150 pro-audio companies.
