KLARK TEKNIK DN32-DANTE
1. Introduction
Dante is a high-performance digital media protocol designed
to deliver audio over a standard Ethernet IP network.
The DN32-DANTE card allows applicable MIDAS digital mixers
to share up to 32 x 32 channels of audio with any network
of Dante-enabled devices via single or redundant Ethernet
connection. Using existing network infrastructure at 100 Mbit/s
or 1 Gbit/s, the Dante protocol off ers very stable, low-latency
transmission for a variety of professional applications unifying
multi-channel audio distribution across multiple locations or
device families.
2. Installation
Before you install the DN32-DANTE card in the expansion slot of
your console, you must check klarkteknik.com to verify whether
the console fi rmware supports that card. We recommend that
you periodically check your console's product page for console
fi rmware updates.
Caution – before installing the DN32-DANTE card into the
console, you must make sure that the console's power switch is
turned off . Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
1.
Make sure that the mixer's power is turned off .
2.
Loosen the 2 screws left and right that fasten the slot,
then remove the slot cover or currently-installed card and
keep it in a safe place.
3.
Before removing the DN32-DANTE card from its protective
bag, we recommend touching the grounded metal chassis of
the console to prevent electrostatic discharges aff ecting the
sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea
to hold the card either by the face plate or by the two small
handles, but never touching the components on the circuit
board directly.
4.
Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the
slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. It should slide
in without any considerable resistance. Push the card all the
way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the card are
correctly inserted into the connector inside.

Fasten the card using the included screws. Be aware
that damage or malfunctions may occur if the card is
not fastened.
