What you will need

• A MediaMatrix NION with Dante DLM fitted.
• The latest Dante Controller software. (Updates can be downloaded from the Audinate website.)
• The latest NWare software. (Updates can be downloaded from the MediaMatrix website.)
• A computer running Microsoft Windows, with monitor, mouse and keyboard.
• An assortment of CAT 5e or CAT 6 cables.
• At least one NIO series analog audio input card.
• At least one NIO series analog audio output card.

  Tip: The NIO-4x4 card supports both analog audio inputs and outputs on the same card. This card can be used in place of an input card and an output card.

• An audio source, cables, power amplifier and loudspeaker.
• A small Phillips screwdriver.
• A small flat-blade screwdriver.
• A network switch connected to the Dante network.

  Note: Dante uses standard Voice over IP (VoIP) Quality of Service (QoS) switch features to prioritize clock sync and audio traffic over other network traffic. QoS is available in many inexpensive and enterprise Ethernet switches. Any switch that supports Diffserv (DSCP) QoS with strict priority and 4 queues, and has Gigabit ports for inter-switch connections should be appropriate for use with Dante, but we recommend that you check the Q&A section on the Audinate website for details of any other requirements.
