Dante interfaces are the essential building blocks that allow traditional audio sources and destinations to connect seamlessly to modern networked audio systems.
Designed for professional and commercial installations, these devices convert analogue and digital audio signals into Dante audio over IP, enabling flexible routing, centralised control and long cable runs using standard Ethernet infrastructure.
We’ve included a range of network audio interfaces, including microphone and line‑level input units, line output interfaces, USB and computer audio interfaces, and compact wall‑mount or rack‑mount solutions. They are commonly used in offices, education facilities, conference centres, theatres, houses of worship, retail environments and hospitality venues where existing audio equipment needs to integrate with a Dante‑enabled system.
Dante interfaces make it easy to connect microphones, media players, mixing consoles, PCs and third‑party AV equipment directly to a networked DSP or audio system. Typical audio formats include analogue mic and line audio, uncompressed digital audio streams, computer audio over USB and stereo programme feeds for music and announcements. This makes them ideal for speech, paging, background music, presentations, video conferencing and AV playback.
With features such as plug‑and‑play network configuration, low‑latency performance and compatibility with Dante and AES67 standards, these audio interfaces offer a future‑proof solution for scalable systems.
Many models support network control and remote management, helping installers and system designers build reliable, professional audio over IP solutions with minimal complexity.
For any commercial audio project requiring flexible signal conversion and distribution, Dante interfaces provide the perfect link between traditional audio devices and modern networked sound systems. Please contact one of our Dante specialists for more information.
It converts ordinary audio into Dante, or Dante back into analogue or USB, so existing microphones, media players and PCs can join a networked system. Offices, education, theatres, worship spaces and hospitality sites use them as the link between old kit and a Dante DSP.
An interface only converts. It does not mix zones, duck paging or store scenes. A Dante DSP mixer does the routing and processing. Use an interface when one source or one destination needs to get on or off the network.
When a microphone, radio tuner, media player or mixer output must be sent to a Dante network. A mic/line input module does this for one local source. A 2-in or 4-in box does it for several sources in the rack.
When a non-Dante amplifier, recorder or hearing-loop driver needs a line-level feed from the network. A 2-channel or 4-channel output interface is the usual rack item. It does not replace the amplifier.
It puts computer audio on the Dante network, or records Dante channels to a PC, without a separate sound card. Typical uses are soft codecs, playback and simple recording.
Yes. Combined 2×2 and 4×4 interfaces both send and receive. Choose channel count for the sources and destinations in that location, and leave a spare if the room may gain another mic.
Many are Dante-native and some are also AES67 compatible. That helps with other network audio, but it does not guarantee every third-party device will connect. Check the devices in Dante Controller before you rely on a mix of brands.
A wired Ethernet connection to a gigabit switch that can carry Dante. Wi-Fi is not the audio path. PoE powers some compact interfaces; others need a mains adaptor. Confirm the power requirement on the product page before you omit a PSU.
Commercial Audio Solutions stocks input, output and USB Dante interfaces from brands such as Blustream, Cloud and LD Systems, and has Dante-trained staff. Call 01663 767888 or email sales@commercialaudiosolutions.com with what you need to put on the network (mic, line, USB) and what must come back off it.
