Dante Best Practices Part 2: Setting up Dante
This is Part 2 in a series of articles about AudioControl Dante amps. If it's your first time setting up these amps, we highly recommend you read through Part 1: First Steps.
To learn more about using the Dante Controller with our amplifiers, check out Part 3: Using Dante Controller.
Setting up Dante
Step 1: Set IDs
You can have up to 8 Dante-enabled AudioControl amplifiers connected together, and each of them need to have their own ID number. In the settings panel on the amp's web interface, open the Dante Configuration tab, and select an ID between 1 and 8.
Go through each amp in your system and give them their own ID. If you named your amps Amp 1, Amp 2, Amp 3, etc, we recommend setting them with ID 1, ID 2, and ID 3 respectively.
Step 2: Look for Devices
Once all of the IDs are set, go through and click Look for Devices on each amplifier. The amps' web pages will refresh, the available Dante amps in the system will all appear under Remote Dante Devices, and all of their inputs will be selectable in the input selection drop down menus.
And that's it! No step three, you are now able to switch audio between AudioControl amps with the press of a button.
