They say good things don't last forever, so with a tinge of sadness we have to say goodbye to our brilliant service manger Phil Booth. Having looked after all of our service department for a number of years now, Phil has decided to hang up his boots and retire to a life of leisure. Phil joined us as a veteran of the industry, with many years of experience, and has been a fantastic member of our team.

Dante - As easy as A..B..C..

Dante offers a very simple way of transmitting audio over the existing data network, without having to be an IT engineer. Whether it’s a Public Address system covering multiple buildings, a large church with impossible cable routes or a hotel conference suite needing flexible audio inputs and outputs, Dante provides an audio input in one location, an audio output in another location, as if there were a single piece of cable between them. Some Dante devices can even handle multiple inputs and outputs simultaneously, and many manufacturers are now building this into their products.

Connect Dante input interface A tothe network (Dante interfaces can even be powered by the network!) – An audio source can then connect into this Dante input.

Connect Dante output interface B to another location on the same network – You can then take an audio feed from the Dante output device into a remote piece of audio equipment.

Your devices are found on the network automatically. Using the free Dante controller software, Click to confirm input device A is to be connected to output device B. That’s it! Any audio signal plugged in to device A appears at Device B!
