Enabling Dante® speaker output

Route audio to external Dante® speakers and disable the device's internal speakers.

When enabled, audio output is routed to external Dante® speakers and the device’s internal speakers are muted.

Before enabling this function, ensure that the Dante® protocols are enabled (see Activating Dante® signal forwarding). Also verify that routing has been configured in Audinate Apps before activation; otherwise, echo effects may occur.

To enable the Dante® speaker output:

Open your control software and navigate to:

Local Web UI	Audio > Audio Setup.
DeviceHub	Devices > TC Bar > Audio > Audio Setup.
Control Cockpit	Devices > TC Bar > Audio.

Activate the slider in the field External Dante® speaker output.

Audio output is routed to the external Dante® speakers.
