Klark Teknik KT-DANTE64 Dante Connectivity PCI Card

The KT-DANTE64 Network Module is a groundbreaking, Ethernet compliant audio networking module, compatible with the KLARK TEKNIK DN9650 and DN9652 Network Bridges. Using technology developed by Audinate, the KT-DANTE64 Network Module provides high performance direct to computer audio recording, flexible routing and true plug and play technology with automatic discovery.

Using CAT5/5e cable and standard networking components, KT-DANTE64 distributes multiple streams of audio plus integrated control data, ideal for the exacting demands of live sound environments.

KT-DANTE64 implements the latest Brooklyn II chipset from Audinate with up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio with low latency, low jitter and sub-microsecond synchronisation over Gigabit networks.
