Dante-MY16-AUD2 Getting Started Guide- 10 -

Activating Dante Virtual Soundcard

Note: You should usually set only one Dante device on the network to operate in external word clock mode.

Under normal circumstances, a Dante device with ‘Slave to External Word Clock’ set will automatically become

the Dante network clock master.

Checking your clock configuration

Dante Controller can be used to view the Dante clock status of all devices on the network, and to display who is

the Dante clock master. To view, open Dante Controller and click the Clock Status tab.

Advanced clock configuration

There may also be some occasions where you want to force a Dante device to become the Dante network clock

master, or to configure clocking redundancy. Please refer to the Dante-MY16-AUD2 User Guide, Dante Controller

User Guide and Dante documentation available on the Audinate website for further information.

Configuring audio routes

Use the Dante Controller to configure channel routing between Dante devices. Using the grid view, click the

intersection of a transmit and receive channel to configure an audio flow. A green icon will appear when the audio

flow is established. Click again to remove the flow. Please refer to the Dante Controller online help for more

information.

Multicast and Unicast modes

Dante flows can be established as Unicast or Multicast. Unicast ensures that packets only traverse the network

links between the transmitter and receiver, whereas multicast typically floods throughout the network. Multicast is

usually recommended when a number of devices need to receive the same audio source. The Dante-MY16-AUD2

card also supports AES67 multicast flows. Please refer to the Dante Controller online help for more information.

Setting Latency

The device latency of your Dante-MY16-AUD2 card can be adjusted using Dante Controller. Latency adjustments

maybe required for daisy chain configurations. Please refer to the Dante Controller online help for more

information.
