# Dante & AES67 channel mapping

> The single most common integration question, answered once — which models carry the Dante option, how its channels map to the three inputs, clocking, redundancy and AES67 mode.
>
> Status: draft-spec. Canonical: https://www.edcacoustics.com/developers/dante-aes67/

> **Status: partially documented.** The rows marked `<TBD>` are being confirmed by EDC.

## What the datasheets say

- Every S-Series model has **1 × XLR3 analogue line in** and **1 × XLR3 line out** as standard.
- Optional digital input: **1 × XLR3 AES3 (stereo)** or **1 × RJ45 Dante**.
- The Speakers page states **up to 2 channels of AES**, **up to 2 channels of Dante**, and **three independent inputs** per cabinet.
- Sydney Central Station used the Dante input with network daisy-chaining for installation and expansion.
