Application Notes

Challenge: Eliminate the analog stage box snake from stage to front-of-house using existing Ethernet infrastructure.

Solution: AUD-DTE-XLRIN at stage — mic/DI XLR outputs → Dante over existing CAT6. Each unit handles 2 channels; deploy multiple for full stage count. FOH Dante-native console (Yamaha, A&H, Midas) receives all inputs directly. AUD-DTE-XLROUT at stage monitors — Dante mix output → monitor amplifiers via XLR.

Challenge: Distribute main mix to lobby speakers, green room, and recording interface simultaneously without analog splits.

Solution: FOH console Dante output (or AUD-DTE-ECODE from analog mix) → Dante. AUD-DTE-2CHAMP in lobby drives 70V ceiling speakers (lobby EQ preset). AUD-DTE-LINEOUT in green room feeds powered monitor. AUD-DTE-USB at recording station receives Dante into DAW. All routing changes in Dante Controller instantly.

Challenge: Capture lecturer mic for room PA and live stream while routing remote presenter conferencing audio through the same PA.

Solution: AUD-DTE-XLRIN — wireless mic receiver XLR → Dante. AUD-DTE-USBC — lectern PC USB-C → Dante (conferencing audio). AUD-DTE-2CHAMP — Dante audio → ceiling zones. AUD-DTE-ECODE — Dante mix → livestream encoder analog input. One Dante network handles all audio paths.

Challenge: Independent audio zones (dining, bar, patio) each needing different content and volume levels from a central source.

Solution: AUD-DTE-BT or AUD-DTE-ECODE at source. One AUD-DTE-2CHAMP per zone drives local 70V speaker lines — each with its own EQ preset for zone acoustics. Volume controlled independently via Web GUI or RS-232 from control system. No analog infrastructure between zones — only Ethernet and speaker wire.
