Dante is a digital audio networking technology developed by Audinate that transports uncompressed, multichannel, low-latency audio over standard IP Ethernet networks between compatible microphones, DSPs, amplifiers and other devices.
In commercial AV, Dante lets ceiling microphones, DSPs and amplifiers share one network cable instead of analog wiring, and allows routing to be changed in software. Network design follows the manufacturer's guidance on switches and quality of service.
