5. Setting up the audio network
Communications between the instructor and students as well as audio of the performance is sent and
received through the audio network. In the Music Laboratory System, Dante has been adopted as the
structure of the audio network. Although software called Dante Controller is normally used to set up a
Dante audio network, its high degree of flexibility requires knowledge about audio networks.
Therefore, the dedicated software ML Config Tool is used in the Music Laboratory System to make
setup easier. Be sure to copy ML Config Tool beforehand onto the Windows computer that was using
MTX-MRX Editor.

In the Dante audio network of the Music Laboratory System, both the ID number and MAC address (physical
address) of each device are used to control communication. Therefore, the audio network must be set up in all of
the following cases.
