Audinate Introduces New Dante Broadway Networking Chip for Mainstream Audio Applications

Audinate, the company behind Dante audio networking technology, has announced the immediate availability of its new Dante Broadway networking chip designed for mid-channel count audio products. Available in 8x8 and 16x16 channel options, Dante Broadway is ideal for adding Dante audio networking to products such as small mixers, power amplifiers, DSPs, hardware interfaces and conferencing solutions, supporting 96kHz sample rates, AES67 and other critical features.

Audinate announced a firmware update for OEMs building low channel-count audio audio network products with dedicated 4-channel input (4x0) or output (0x4) configurations at 96kHz, while minimum device latency has been reduced from 2ms to 1ms for both 2x2 and 4x4 versions. The new firmware also delivers improvements to the Dante Device Protocol (DDP) that allow for visual product identification on a network and greater control capabilities via GPIO.
