Thank you
Thank you for choosing the Dante Bridge for your professional audio application. Please study
the contents of this guide to obtain the best possible performance from this unit.

After unpacking the unit, please check carefully for damage. If damage is found, please notify
the shipping carrier concerned at once. As the consignee, you must initiate any claims. Please

Introduction / Key features
Dante is a low-latency multi-channel digital audio networking technology developed, patented
and licensed by Audinate (audinate.com).
The Dante Bridge enables connection of a computer or IT system to a range of products which
do not natively support Dante.
The three primary uses for the Dante Bridge are:
• • Dante audio to AES3 conversion with VNETTM control (for use with VNET2 equipped
products eg. TANNOY QFlex)
• • Conversion of Dante audio to analogue audio (for connection to any product with
analogue inputs)
• • Conversion of Dante audio to analogue audio with VNET control (for use with 1st generation
VNET equipped products)
When the Dante Bridge is connected to a network of VNET-equipped devices, all devices can be
controlled and monitored via a direct Ethernet connection from your PC.
Housed in a rugged steel case, the Dante Bridge can be used free-standing or rack mounted
(along with up to two additional accessory products) in a 1U rack space.
Key features include:
• • Rugged steel enclosure
• • Free-standing or rack-mount options
• • Self-powered using Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
• • Capable of driving 1 km of VNET network cable
• • No special cables needed

Computer System Requirements

Minimum requirements:
• • PC with >1 GHz processor
• • > 512 kb RAM
• • 32-bit Windows™ operating system (NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7)
• • CD-ROM drive or Internet access
• • Ethernet connection
Installation
Because the Dante Bridge uses Ethernet, no drivers need to be installed. However, you will need
to install Audinate's Dante Controller PC software to control the audio routing and the PodWare
application to control and monitor VNET devices.

External Power Supply

This product may be powered from a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet switch.
However, if such a switch is not available, provision is made to power the unit from an external
accessory power supply via a cable with a 3.5 mm jack. One or two compatible accessories
may be powered from a single power supply; either the A or the B output may be used as they
are identical.
