AES67 MODE 

 
 
The Beatrice uses a chipset from Audinate called the Ultimo for its network audio 
interface. Audinate are the company behind Dante

TM

 and as such the primary 

network audio protocol is Dante, however Audinate have enabled their chip to 
comply with AES67 and therefore the Beatrice can be set to AES67 mode for 
interaction with other AES67 devices. 
 
Please note however that Glensound are relying on Audinat

e’s AES67 interface and 

are unfortunately not able to provide full AES67 support for the unit. AES67 support 
should be sought directly from Audinate.  
 

Turning On AES67 Mode 

 
If you want to use your Beatrice on an AES67 network and it has not been set to 
AES67 mode then this can be set in Dante controller by double clicking the Beatrice 
to open the Device View window where you will find an AES67 tab to enable AES67 
support. 
 

 

 
Once the AES67 drop down box has been enabled you’ll have to reboot the Beatrice 
for the change to take effect. After the reboot go back to the AES67 tab and set the 
multicast prefix address to one that is suitable for your newtork.
