Ceiling Microphone Array Dante FAQs
What advantages does Dante audio networking provide?
Dante technology enables digital audio transmission over standard ethernet networks, reducing installation complexity and costs. It allows for flexible routing, easy scalability, and maintains pristine audio quality throughout the digital signal path.
What's the setup process for integrating with an existing Dante network?
Setup involves connecting the microphone array to your network via standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable, assigning it through Dante Controller software, and configuring routing preferences. The device is automatically discovered on the network for straightforward integration.
Can this be used alongside other Dante-enabled devices?
Yes, the Ceiling Microphone Array Dante seamlessly integrates with other Dante-enabled devices on the same network. This allows for flexible audio routing and easy integration with Dante-compatible DSPs, mixers, and speakers.
What network infrastructure is required for optimal performance?
For best performance, we recommend a Gigabit ethernet network with Quality of Service (QoS) enabled on network switches. The system requires Cat5e cabling minimum, though Cat6 or better is recommended for optimal performance.
