Dante Audio Networking | Worship Ministry Setup

--

In this video, Jake gives you all the essentials you need to get the Dante Protocol up and running at your church. Dante is an awesome tool that allows you to route all of your audio through ethernet cabling instead of analog interfaces.

You're gonna wanna see this.

I've been holding off adding Dante to our Allen & Heath digital mixer until I understand the process better. You gave the best most concise description I've heard in my research. Well done!

May God bless you for being so helpful to so many congregations! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You my brother are such a blessing and legend!! I have been puzzling! Trying to figure out how and why to use Dante. This has given me more understanding than the tech guy who installed it did. Going to sort out all our issues this week!!! Legend man! Thanks for the effort and Sharing such great content. Busy tweaking lights now as well. THANKS TO YOUR LIGHTING VIDS 😋😎 much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Been wondering about how to run a Dante setup for a while. Haven’t found a good video until now! Thanks!

[TroyNahrwold]

Yes! Always on the cutting edge Jake! Thanks for the info, and I'm gonna have to see if we can get info this one.

And they DO still put Ethernet ports on computers... just not Apple computers🤣🤣

Wow! I am in Uganda and I have been looking for a modern system that I can build for my local church sound. I was told about Dante, but it was really confusing me, but you have broken it down. Thank you. Looking forward to having you come down to Africa and help churches down here build a sound system for the glory of Christ.

Thanks for posting this Jake! Such great information! I wish I watched this video before I implemented Dante at our church. We're running an Allen and Heath GLD80 with the Dante Module and love it!!! A couple of gotchas with Dante that I experienced:

1. You cannot use both Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and Via on the same computer at the same time.
2. DVS allows up to 64 channels but Via has a maximum of 16 channels.
3. Many DAW's only recognize one audio interface at a time so if DVS or Via is the interface, you will have to monitor your DAW through Dante unless you are using a Mac which allows you to create an aggregate device. Windows on the other hand does not have a native way to aggregate devices. I tried using ASIO4All but couldn't get it working with DVS (it worked with Via). Finally I got it to work using one of the Dante Avio devices to route the signal to an audio interface to drive my monitors. If there is a better way I would love to learn it.

Bless you Man!!!! Flawless breakdown and delivery!! Really blessed me!!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Glad to see you jump in the Dante train!!
Depending on your ProTools setup, I would recommend pulling inputs directly from the StageBox and not the console.

Thank you so much for this content we’re actually going to do that exact set up today at my church thank you may God continue to bless you and your ministry

Looks like I'm late to this party, but THANK YOU!!! for this video! I just got some equipment to set us up with Dante but needed some help with the nuts and bolts. This was so helpful.

My church uses the same setup with the Yamaha CL5 and the QL5 TF Rack mixers and the RIO3224 RIO1608 RI8 and the RO8 stageboxes and all this is using Dante audio networking for a digital split between all 3 consoles and stage boxes.

I love to watch these videos that teach these valuable tips to praise the Lord!, Blessings.

For those who still want or require a traditional USB audio interface while using a Dante audio network, there is the RME Digiface Dante audio interface (USB 3.0/2 pairs of RJ45 ports/Headphones output). That enables the best of both worlds.

Been waiting on this. Thank you so much for being light to this tech!!!

[rochieb]

So helpful. My church just transferred to donte so it's very new for as a a sound technician.

[salaipapa]

I should have seen this video earlier. Adding dante card to my sq6 will be everything i I need

[jeremyryannoel]

Yesterday, I explained this to my pastor as we run an M32 foh. He’s on board to integrate Dante, so it’s gonna be great using Logic for live stream, ProPresenter playback, a PC for canned music, and our plans to start using multi-track playback on stage, all using Cat6!

DANTE is a very good IP Audio solution! I'm working on the design of DANTE audio.

Just a heads up - the redundant ethernet cable can be used to also prevent cabling failures that might occur over the life of the network.
