288: Connecting with Dante at ISE

Higher Ed AV Podcast

HETMA would like to thank Audinate for sponsoring us during ISE 2025!
Audinate is a leading provider of professional digital audio networking technologies, specializing in the development of Dante, a platform that distributes uncompressed, multi-channel digital audio over standard Ethernet networks. Dante enables seamless interoperability between audio devices, offering high-quality, flexible solutions with a lower total cost of ownership.
During ISE 2025, they are at Booth 2S700, with large displays showing off new hardware and software features that are taking Dante into the realm of a full fledged AV ecosystem. They were proud of their new Dante AVIO Install Line bringing channel input and output adapters with Phoenix connectors and versatile mounting brackets.
Our HETMA volunteers were excited to see the new Dante Virtual Soundcard Pro enabling up to 128 channels at 96 KHz and clocking support and the advancement of Interoperable Dante Media encryption.
We believe the higher capacity and quality and encryption support will help tech managers keep up with network security scrutiny on campus but still have the flexibility of multiple manufacturers with a standardized encryption scheme on the network audio they already use.
But don't just take our word for it! According to Kat Taub, Dante is more than just audio transport with solutions for video, management, and control you can do it all with Dante now.
