Brief Description
Dante Audio Processors are digital signal processors (DSPs) that utilize the Dante Audio-over-IP protocol to route, process, and manage multiple audio channels over a network. These processors handle tasks such as mixing, equalization, dynamic processing, routing, and signal conversion, all within a Dante-enabled ecosystem.
They are commonly used in professional AV installations to centralize audio processing and distribution across multiple endpoints with minimal cabling and high scalability.
