Frequently Asked Questions
Dante offers more flexible routing and scalability than AES, especially in larger setups, but requires a Dante-enabled network and potentially a Dante controller for optimal management.
The USB implementation prioritizes Dante functionality; simultaneous USB and Dante operation with multiple devices isn't officially supported and may introduce latency or performance issues.
Latency is generally very low, but depends on your computer's processing power and driver settings; expect sub-10ms with a properly configured system.
