Allen & Heath M-DL-DANT128-AX Dante Audio Networking Module for dLive / Avantis

Massive Connectivity, Zero Compromise

The Allen & Heath M-DL-DANT128-AX is a high-capacity Dante networking module for dLive and Avantis consoles. It delivers 128 bidirectional channels at 96kHz, supporting complex digital splits, broadcast transport, and multitrack recording with enterprise-grade redundancy and low-latency performance.

High-Definition Audio Distribution
The M-DL-DANT128-AX transports 128 bidirectional channels at 96kHz or 48kHz over standard gigabit networking hardware, delivering sample-accurate playback and high-channel digital splits without signal degradation.

Universal Interoperability and Control
Built-in AES67 compliance enables seamless audio streaming between the host console and alternative AoIP networks such as RAVENNA or Q-LAN. An internal Network Bridge tunnels console control data from dLive or Avantis Director software directly through the Dante network, eliminating redundant cable runs and simplifying system management.

Main features:

• 128 bidirectional channels of Dante I/O operating at high-resolution 96kHz or 48kHz
• Primary and Secondary ports supporting dual-cable network redundancy or switched daisy-chain mode
• Dedicated Control Network port for simplified configuration using Dante Controller software
• Internal Network Bridge to tunnel and merge console control data over the Dante network infrastructure
• Full operational compatibility with Dante Domain Manager (DDM) for enterprise-level IT security
• Native AES67 support for seamless interoperability with alternative AoIP protocols like RAVENNA
• Rugged locking EtherCon connectors to guarantee physical cable security in touring environments
• Plug-and-play network deployment utilizing standard standard gigabit routing hardware
• High-channel multitrack recording capability via Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) integration
