The Cloud Electronics CDI-CV8 optional Dante card is a retrofit option exclusively for the Cloud CV Series amplifiers, providing 8 digital inputs into the amplifier for use with an Audinate Dante audio network.

The CDI-CV Dante network card provides up to eight channels of low-latency digital audio via a Dante or AES67 network/ Channel subscriptions are made using Audinate’s Dante Controller software. The card runs the latest Dante firmware, which gives compatibility with Dante Domain Manager (DDM).

CDI-CV network cards are compatible with the following amplifier ;models (power ratings quoted here assume equal power sharing across all channels):

CV2500 – 2 channels, 500 W/ch

CV4250 – 4 channels, 250 W/ch

CV8125 – 8 channels, 125 W/ch

The card fits into the amplifier’s rear panel expansion bay. The CDICV8 is fitted with dual gigabit ports to provide network connectivity.

The CDI-CV2, CDI-CV4 and CDI-CV8 cards are compatible with all models in the CV amplifier range, though some routing restrictions will apply when using a card with a different number of channels from the amplifier. Thus a CDI-CV2 card installed in a CV4250 four-channel amplifier will permit either of the Dante channels assigned to the card to be routed to any of the amplifier’s channels. A CDI-CV8 card installed in a CV2500 two-channel amplifier will permit any of the eight Dante channels assigned to the card to be routed to either amplifier channel. In either of these example cases, mono summing of a pair of Dante channels may be selected to a single amplifier channel via the channel’s Audio browser page.
