Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Dante Card without owning a Soundcraft Si Series console?
No. The Dante Card 64x64 is a plug-in expansion card designed exclusively for Si Series consoles. It is not a standalone mixer and requires a compatible Si Compact, Si Expression, Si Performer, or Si Series console.
Does the Ui24R support Dante networking for connecting to other Dante devices?
The Ui24R description does not list Dante networking capability. It features wireless control via Wi-Fi and Ethernet, plus USB multi-track recording, but networked audio expansion via Dante is not mentioned.
Which is better for a small touring band with no existing console?
The Ui24R is the right choice. It is a complete, self-contained 24-channel mixer with all processing and effects built in. The Dante Card requires you to already own a Si Series console, making it unsuitable for a fresh setup.
What is the main audio capacity difference between these two products?
The Dante Card provides up to 64x64 channels of bidirectional networked audio when installed in a Si Series console. The Ui24R is a fixed 24-channel mixer with 22 mic/line inputs and 8 balanced XLR outputs, with no network audio expansion option.
