Frequently asked questions
Do I need an existing Soundcraft Si console to use the Dante Card?
Yes. The Dante Card 64x64 is an expansion card designed exclusively for Si Series consoles (Si Compact, Si Expression, Si Performer, Si3+). It cannot function as a standalone mixer.
Can the Ui24R be used in touring and broadcast applications?
Yes. The Ui24R is purpose-built for touring venues, broadcast trucks, and installed systems with its 4U rackmount format, wireless control, and low latency. It weighs 22 lbs and measures 6.8 x 19 inches for easy transport.
What is the maximum channel capacity difference between these two?
The Dante Card supports up to 64x64 channels of networked audio, while the Ui24R provides 22 physical mic/line inputs and 8 Aux/Matrix outputs. The Dante Card is designed for large-scale network routing; the Ui24R is a complete mixing console.
Do either of these offer onboard recording?
Only the Ui24R includes built-in USB multi-track recording capability. The Dante Card is a networking interface for audio routing and does not record; recording would occur on a connected device or Dante recorder.
