So what’s really happening when you to choose to auto-route Dante? Let’s take a look at the under-the-hood
changes taking place. As mentioned on the previous page auto-routing Dante “...congures the headphones,
monitors, talkback and stereo playback and recording signals between the DL32R and DC16.”
In short, you’re setting up a monitor mix FOR DC16 FROM DL32R. That is, what goes TO the DC16 headphone
and monitor outputs is a mirror image of the DL32R headphones and monitor outputs. The L/R FROM DL32R
TO DC16 feeds the iPad record input, the record input being a stereo L/R mix recording. Words are cool and
all, but pictures, drawings and such are so much cooler. See below.
Stereo Source
The Stereo Source is what’s auto-routed, so let’s start there. It’s a part of Setup – ALT + DYN, see pages
70-73 – but explained in more detail below.
Shown below is the standard signal ow routing. Notice how the DC16 iPad L/R (Dante 1-2, OUT)
is auto routed to the DL32R Return 3/4 (Dante 30-31, IN). [Talkback is routed from Dante 3 to Dante 32].
Then, on the return, it leaves the DL32R Main L/R (Dante 29-30, OUT) and Monitor L/R (Dante 31-32,
OUT) and goes to the DC16 iPad L/R (Dante 1-2, IN) and Monitor/Phones L/R (Dante 3-4, IN):
DC16 OUT: DL32R IN:
Dante 1 [Analog / iPad L] Dante 30 [Return 3]
Dante 2 [Analog / iPad R] Dante 31 [Return 4]
Dante 3 [Talkback] Dante 32 [Talkback]
Dante 4 [No Source] Dante 1-29 [No Default]
DC16 IN: DL32R OUT:
Dante 1 [DC16 iPad Record L] Dante 29 [Main L]
Dante 2 [DC16 iPad Record R] Dante 30 [Main R]
Dante 3 [Monitor / Phones L] Dante 31 [Monitor L]
Dante 4 [Monitor / Phones R] Dante 32 [Monitor R]
