DANTE.SG.SRC.IO is a dual network audio module for the PRODIGY Series and MAVEN.A to interface with 64 channels each of Dante and SoundGrid streams.
One module, two audio engines
Hosting two audio network boards the module offers 2 x 64 of two different audio protocols - Dante and SoundGrid. This allows to interface with two audio protocols in a single A Slot of MAVEN.A or PRODIGY.MC. With the two A Slots of a PRODIGY.MP the coverage can be extended by a third or even fourth audio protocol.
Sample Rate Conversion
Individual HD SRC for bi-directional sample rate conversion is on board as a standard.
The two audio network boards can be operated at different sample rates.
Dual network modules ensure a seamless connection across clock boundaries and different audio protocols on a single module.
Stream Redundancy
There are 2 x 2 independent network interfaces to connect each protocol via a second stream (primary/secondary or Port 1 / Port 2).
The amount of audio channels per protocol is reduced at higher sample rates - 32 channels @ 2 FS or 16 channels @ 4 FS (SoundGrid supports 1 FS and 2 FS only).
Dante is an audio networking technology from Audinate.
SoundGrid is an audio networking technology from Waves that is based on ethernet layer 2.

FAQ
What is the difference between single network and dual network A Slot modules?
Single network A Slot modules provide one audio network interface, while dual network modules combine two networking technologies in one card, such as Dante-to-Milan or Dante-to-RAVENNA. Dual network modules are ideal for bridging different audio ecosystems and supporting hybrid workflows.
Which DIRECTOUT devices support A Slot modules?
A Slot modules are supported across several DIRECTOUT smart audio platforms, including PRODIGY.MP, PRODIGY.MX, PRODIGY.MC, and MAVEN.A. The number of available A Slots varies by hardware model.
What is the purpose of SRC in DIRECTOUT module names?
SRC stands for Sample Rate Conversion. Modules with SRC functionality include integrated high-definition sample rate conversion, enabling stable interoperability between devices running on different clock domains or sample rates.
What is the maximum channel count for A Slot modules?
Depending on the module type, A Slot modules can support up to 256 audio channels. Certain high-capacity modules, such as MADI4.IO and RAVENNA modules with optional licensing, offer expanded channel capabilities.
Which audio networking protocols are supported by DIRECTOUT A Slot modules?
DIRECTOUT A Slot modules support major professional audio networking standards including Dante, RAVENNA, AES67, ST 2110, Milan/AVB, and SoundGrid. This flexibility enables seamless integration into modern IP-based audio infrastructures.
