About your Audinate Software
To configure and use your Dante-enabled Yamaha equipment to route audio over a network, you need to install
Dante Controller on a PC or Mac on the Dante network.
To record and play out audio direct to your PC or Mac, you need to install the Dante Virtual Soundcard.
What is Dante Controller?
Dante Controller is a software application provided by Audinate which allows users to configure and route audio
around Dante networks. It is available for PCs running Windows (7, 8, and 8.1), and Apple Macs running OS X
(10.7.5, 10.8.5 and 10.9).
You must have Dante Controller installed on a PC or Mac on your Dante network to control and
route audio. It can be installed on the same PC or Mac as Dante Virtual Soundcard.

existing subscriptions
Change the labels of transmitted audio channels from numbers to names that suit you
