The Dante option provides the m108 with two gigabit ethernet ports for streaming 8 channels of audio at sample rates up to 192kHz to other Dante enabled devices. The heart of the Dante interface is the Brooklyn II module. This is where the digital audio data is sent to and received from the Dante network “flows”. While most of the ADC configuration and setup is the same as the ADAT and AES3 interfaces, there are some clock architecture concepts that are unique to the Dante enabled m108.
On the rear panel of the m108, the Dante interface module features two gigabit Ethernet ports. One labeled PRIMARY and one labeled SECONDARY. This allows the m108 to operate in full redundant mode if required. When operating on a single non-redundant network then the PRIMARY port should be used.
