Frequently Asked Questions

The system seamlessly switches to the secondary Dante line, maintaining signal integrity without interruption.
While it can function as a basic interface, you’ll lose the advanced control and integration features that the Sonicview mixer provides.
The description doesn't explicitly state MIDI clock, but the GPIO provides a flexible interface for custom integration; you'd need to investigate its capabilities further.
