Audio over IP (AoIP) is a technology that transmits audio signals over standard IP networks, replacing traditional analog or digital audio cables. This allows for flexible, scalable audio distribution across buildings, multiple-sites, or even globally.
With AoIP, you can route high-quality audio to multiple locations simultaneously, control audio remotely, and integrate seamlessly with existing network infrastructure. It's ideal for any application requiring reliable, low-latency audio transmission.
Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) is a proprietary AoIP technology developed by Audinate. It's the dominant solution in professional audio because it solves a crucial problem in audio networking: latency (delay) and synchronization.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple Routing | Audio routing is managed via software, the Dante Controller, where you "patch" one device's output to another device's input with a click, much like software-defined analog patching. |
| Low Latency | Dante is designed for extremely low latency (often less than 1 millisecond), making it suitable for live sound and broadcast where delay is unacceptable. |
| Sample-Accurate Synchronization | All devices on a Dante network automatically synchronize their internal clocks, ensuring that all audio streams are perfectly aligned and in phase. |
| Standard IP | It uses standard networking hardware (switches, cables) and protocols (TCP/IP), making it easy to integrate with existing IT networks. |
| Device Naming | Devices are identified by customizable names (e.g., "Stage-Mic-1", "FOH-Mixer"), not cryptic IP addresses, simplifying setup. |
