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 fully compatible with Si Compact, Si Expression, Si Performer, and all Si Series consoles up to Si3+. Installation slots directly into your console with no additional hardware or software required.
Can I start with fewer channels and scale up later?
Yes. DIP switches on the card allow you to configure channel count from 8x8 up to the full 64x64 capacity, so you can reconfigure the channel count on the fly without any external software.
What happens if one Dante port fails during a show?
The dual locking etherCON Dante ports provide redundant architecture, so a secondary connection can take over automatically, ensuring audio continuity in critical live and installed-sound setups.
Does this card work with older or slower network infrastructure?
Yes. The card supports both 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit Ethernet standards, so it adapts to the network speeds available in your venue or touring environment.
Do I need external software to configure this card?
No. All configuration—including clock source and channel count—is handled via DIP switches directly on the card, eliminating external software dependencies and enabling rapid reconfiguration in the field.
