The AMP-DANTE4 adds a Dante network input to the AMP150.4H, AMP300.4H and AMP500.4H amplifiers. The amplifier’s four channels then receive their sources directly over the installation network, with no audio line to run to the rack. Signal routing is handled in Dante Controller; the card is set to DHCP by default.
