Sennheiser launches Dante(TM) card for Digital 9000 wireless microphone system
Users can conveniently route the system's high-definition audio data via Audinate's Dante™ Controller.
- (1888PressRelease) September 17, 2014 - Amsterdam - At IBC, audio specialist Sennheiser is launching a Dante™ card for the EM 9046 receiver, enabling its top-of-the-range Digital 9000 microphone system to be integrated into Dante™ audio-over-IP networks.
When it comes to digital audio networking, Audinate's Dante™ is among the leading solutions for live audio, broadcasting and installations. Dante™ works with existing network infrastructure using IP and Ethernet standards and offers hundreds of channels of high-quality audio. "This is what makes Dante™ so attractive for us," says Claus Menke, Head of Portfolio Management Pro for Sennheiser's Professional Division. "With the extension card, broadcast and live audio engineers now can easily integrate our best wireless microphone system into a Dante™ network and benefit from its exceptional sound."
The EM 9046 DAN extension card is simply inserted into the expansion slot of the EM 9046 eight-channel receiver. Internally, the card features sixteen audio inputs to send the digital audio and command signals over the Dante™ network. Connection is via two Gbit RJ45 sockets that serve to establish two redundant network circuits or daisychain the signals. The card works with sampling rates of 44.1/48/88.2 and 96 kHz at a resolution of 24 bits. The EM 9046 DAN will be available from mid-October.
New Wireless Systems Manager software:
Sennheiser will also adapt its Wireless Systems Manager software to include a monitoring function for the Dante™ card. The new version 4.2 will also be available from October and will allow users to listen to and monitor the EM 9046's Dante™ audio streams from any point in the network.
