Dante Via is powerful software that enables flexible routing of multi channel computer-based audio, allowing audio applications and devices to be networked and interconnected, easily and inexpensively.

 

Expand your Dante network

Dante Via enhances any USB or FireWire audio device with network connectivity, allowing you to easily expand your Dante system with hundreds of readily available products using the device drivers you prefer - ASIO or WDM on Windows and Core Audio on Mac. Simply connect your device and check “Enable Dante” in the Dante Via interface, and it’s instantly integrated with your Dante network, unrestrained by ‘pointto-point’ cable runs.

 

Route your applications

Dante Via isolates and routes audio from individual applications, allowing multi-channel

audio connections between devices and applications on the same computer as well as to

Dante devices and computers anywhere on the network. Unwanted system sounds are

easily eliminated, and each application has its own independent channels.

 

Monitor Dante channels

Use Dante Via to connect local headphones or speakers directly to a Dante network, so

you can easily monitor Dante devices and channels from anywhere on the system with

no need for dedicated hardware.

 

Create standalone audio networks

Connect computers running Dante Via together to create an instant Dante audio network,

for cost-effective real-time sharing of microphones, interfaces and applications. Up to 16

channels per application and 32 channels per device can be shared.

 

Powerful and Intuitive User Interface

Dante Via’s easy-to-use interface allows you to see at a glance what’s playing on your

computer and which devices are transmitting to the network. Routing an audio source

to a destination is as simple as drag & drop - you can even drag multiple sources to a

destination to append channels or create an instant stereo mix.
