CONNECTING THE BEATRICE UNITS TO A DANTE NETWORK
The Beatrices are network audio devices utilizing the reliable and versatile Dante
audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the
originators of which are Audinate.
The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power
of Dante network audio and instructions for using it can be found at
Getting Dante Controller
If you are connecting the Beatrice to a new Dante network the first thing you will
need to do is to get the free Dante controller software from Audinate.
This can be downloaded b
y visiting Audinate’s web site at
Connecting Beatrice device to the network
The Beatrice can be connected to the network that you are going to use for your
audio distribution simply by plugging in to the RJ45 network connections on the rear.
Once connected to the network it will be possible to see the Beatrice from within the
Dante controller
and route its’ audio circuits.
Audio Over IP Network
We strongly recommend that you consider your network topology carefully and
would not recommend sharing broadcast audio and general data on the same
network.
