Allen & Heath M-DANTE Module for iLive or GLD Systems

Next-Gen Networking for Professional Environments

The Allen & Heath M-DANTE is a high-performance networking card (AH-M-DANTE-A) that integrates iLive and GLD systems into Audinate Dante networks. This 64x64 channel card enables direct interfacing with computers and third-party Dante equipment over standard IP infrastructure, delivering sub-millisecond latency and sample-accurate synchronization for professional live sound and broadcast applications.

Unrivaled Integration and High-Density I/O
The M-DANTE card delivers 64x64 channels over standard Gigabit networking, eliminating costly proprietary equipment. It transmits uncompressed 24-bit audio up to 100 meters with complete sonic transparency and zero degradation, enabling flexible Front of House and monitor splits.

Redundancy Without Compromise
The M-DANTE card features a dedicated Secondary network port for full hardware-level redundancy. In Redundant Mode, the secondary link provides instantaneous, glitch-free failover if the primary connection fails. Alternatively, Switched Mode reconfigures the secondary port as an internal network switch for device daisy-chaining without external hardware.

Main features:

• 64 input and 64 output channels of digital audio transported over a single network link
• Direct computer interfacing for professional multitrack recording and playback applications
• Primary and Secondary Gigabit ports supporting dual-cable redundancy or daisy-chain expansion
• Dedicated Control Network port for bridging console data and managing routing via Dante Controller
• Includes a complimentary Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) license token for Mac or PC integration
• Sub-millisecond system latency paired with sample-accurate network clock synchronization
• Fully compatible with iLive fixed-format MixRacks, modular systems, and GLD-80 consoles
• User-installable design with front-mounted securement screws for rapid hardware upgrades
