Dante
The DM3 utilizes Dante as the communication protocol for audio signals. Dante is a protocol developed by
the company Audinate and it features the ability to handle multiple audio signals with different sampling
frequencies, bit rates and device control signals simultaneously in a networking environment that supports
Gigabyte Ethernet. It offers the following advantages, among others.
(
In theory, it can transmit a total of 1024 channel in a Gigabyte Ethernet environment, with a maximum of
512 inputs and 512 outputs.
(
Devices in the network can be detected and configured automatically, while allowing freedom to name
devices.
(
Low latency, jitter and high sample accuracy are achieved via highly precise, network synchronization
technology.
(
It supports redundant connections, in the form of primary and secondary lines, making it resistant to
failures.
(
It allows connections to computers over the Internet and direct IN/OUT of audio without any audio
interface device.
(
It offers long-distance communications of a maximum of 100 meters between devices over CAT5e network
cables. Please note that usable cable length depends on cable type.
For more information about Dante, please visit the Audinate website.

, Alternatively, the Yamaha Pro Audio website also provides a variety of information about Dante.

Dante Controller
Dante Controller is an application for making Dante network settings and routing the audio. Use the Dante
Controller for configuring the complex signal routing in a Dante network. Relevant information is available
on the following website.

NOTE
(
Only the DM3 is capable of using Dante. DM3 STANDARD cannot be used.
(
DM3 offers 16 IN, 16 OUT and 24-bit, 32-bit options for transmitting audio signals.
(
DM3 also offers 5 options for latency--0.25 msec, 0.5 msec/1.0 msec/2.0 msec and 5.0 msec.
Do not use the EEE function (*) of a network switch inside a Dante network.
Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management
should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the
negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate,
resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend
that:
(
If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on
all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.
(
If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function,
since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches.
