Neumann @ IBC: Say Hello to Dante!
The MT 48 becomes Dante Ready™
Amsterdam, 13 September 2024. At this year’s IBC, Neumann will present the MT 48 with Dante option. Dante is the leading Audio-over-IP (AoIP) standard, especially for live applications and installations. With the Dante Ready™ option, the MT 48 becomes compatible with a world of over 4,000 devices from more than 600 manufacturers. Finally, the MT 48 can now be easily integrated in Dante environments to act as a hub, monitor controller and/or mixer.
Adding Dante compatibility is a testament to our customer-centric approach and has no impact on Neumann’s commitment to RAVENNA/AES67. Both AoIP standards have their specific advantages depending on the use case. That’s why we’ve created an FAQ page to help customers choose the best solution for their needs.
Dante Ready™ means, Audinate’s network standard is available to those who need it, but will incur no extra cost to those who do not require Dante. Ex factory, the MT 48 continues to be shipped with the RAVENNA/AES67 firmware pre-installed. The alternative Dante firmware is offered free of charge by Neumann and can easily be installed using the MT Portal application. For Dante operation, an 8/8 or 64/64 Dante channel I/O license must be purchased from Audinate.
From the fourth quarter of 2024, all new MT 48 will be Dante Ready™ at no extra charge. For easy identification, Dante Ready™ units are labeled with a Dante Ready™ sticker on the packaging and on the bottom of the device itself.
Existing customers wishing to use Dante on their MT 48, please refer to our FAQs for information on the service procedure.
Meet us at IBC, booth 8.D50, and be sure to also check out the Dante Ready™ products Hapi Mk III and Anubis from our friends at Merging Technologies! And watch the unveiling of Sennheiser Spectera – the world’s first bidirectional wideband digital wireless ecosystem.
