Draft specification for review

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.

Markdown version: /developers/dante-aes67.md

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.
