Soundcraft Dante Card 64x64 - Cat5 Dual Port
Description
Soundcraft Dante Card 64x64 - Cat5 Dual Port
This Dante Card 64x64 is a professional-grade networked audio interface designed for integration into Si Series mixing consoles. The dual-port architecture with redundant connectivity ensures reliable audio routing in studio and installed sound environments where network integrity is critical for uninterrupted multitrack recording and real-time monitoring.
Network Connectivity & Audio Capacity
The card features dual locking etherCON connectors for primary and secondary Dante ports, supporting both 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit Ethernet standards. This delivers up to 64 channels of bidirectional digital audio, enabling seamless integration with networked studio gear, external preamps, AD/DA converters, and multi-room session workflows. Flexible channel configuration via DIP switches allows reduction down to 8x8 channels for streamlined setups or bandwidth optimization.
Studio Integration & Configuration
Full compatibility spans the Si Compact, Si Expression, Si Performer, and related Si Series consoles up to the Si3+. DIP switch controls enable intuitive channel count adjustment and clock source configuration, allowing rapid reconfiguration between different recording sessions and studio topologies without external software or complex setup procedures. This flexibility supports quick pivots between tracking, mixing, and monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Soundcraft consoles does this card work with?
The Dante Card 64x64 is compatible with Si Series consoles, including Si Compact, Si Expression, Si Performer, and consoles up to the Si3+. Check your console's specifications to confirm it has a slot for this networked audio card.
What happens if one Dante port fails?
The dual-port, redundant architecture allows you to connect both a primary and secondary etherCON port so that if one network connection drops, audio continues to flow through the backup port, keeping your show or installation running without interruption.
Can I use fewer than 64 channels if I don't need that many?
Yes. DIP switches on the card let you reduce the channel count from 64x64 down to 8x8 channels, or any configuration in between, without needing external software or complex reprogramming.
What network speeds does it support?
The card supports both 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit Ethernet over locking etherCON connectors, giving you flexibility to integrate into existing venue or studio networking infrastructure.
Do I need a computer or external software to set it up?
No. Configuration is handled entirely via DIP switches on the card for channel count and clock source, allowing quick reconfiguration on site without computers or software setup.
