The Surround Sound in Aural Perception Tests
Published in Dariusz Pleban, Occupational Noise and Workplace Acoustics, 2020
The system is operated with the use of Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) standard in which digital acoustic signals are transmitted via Ethernet. The system uses Audiante Dante-MY-16AUT sound card installed in a PC-class computer and uses one hundred and sixteen Avantone MixCube studio monitors, six Nexo PS8 stage monitors, and six LS600 woofers.
Audio-over-IP

The Australian company Audinate is behind the development of Dante. Dante was not born to be compatible with the AES67 foundation, but this has become an option in versions after 2015. Dante has gained extremely broad acceptance, although it is a proprietary system. The widespread use is partly because common hardware solutions such as routers and switches may apply. Also, the continuous development of many tools, typically pure software, makes the connection possible with other network formats. In practice, this means that Dante becomes attractive at the price while still becoming more compatible with other systems. It is recommended to use Gbps networks (also called Gigabit networks) and not just the more limited 100 Mbps. In principle, there is the possibility of an almost infinite number of audio channels. The sound can be resolved up to 32 bits and a sampling frequency up to 192 kHz. There are networks that perform above Tera bits per second capacity, which means it is difficult to see any restrictions. However, the final resolution may depend on the selected products and, moreover, whether you choose to run AES67-compatible (max. sampling frequency at 48 kHz and a fixed latency of 2 ms.). Dante supports both unicast and multicast (i.e., respectively, from one point to another or signals between many points). The setup is generally simple. If applying a computer, a small piece of software must be installed, a Dante controller (freeware). After that, many manufacturers’ devices that support Dante can be put together in the network. Dante uses settings where the network itself finds the relevant addresses in the system. Dante also offers a virtual sound card, also a piece of software that provides direct contact to most DAWs. Dante Via is another option to connect between different systems. Dante has the option of redundancy (i.e., setting up a parallel system which – for safety’s sake – may be appropriate in large systems). The system can handle glitch-free transitions between the redundant systems. However, this feature does not exist if run in AES67 mode. Dante is the most widely used network for AoIP.
Networking and the Interwebs

What Dante is to audio, ST-2110 is to video. The approach of Dante was to replace the infrastructure wiring of an audio system with an Ethernet network-based topography. Likewise, ST-2110 is the replacement of SDI transport in a video production system with Ethernet.

Dante was created by Audinate. It is a multi-channel digital media networking technology for uncompressed audio with near-zero latency and synchronisation [15]. Dante is designed to make use of gigabit Ethernet. It can transmit 512 channels in each direction in a single 1 Gb link. The latency can be set as low as .25 millisecond. A link in Dante network is capable of concurrently carrying audio having non-identical bit depths as well as sample rates. Dante systems are scalable from a single link between a computer and audio console to large networks with several hundred audio channels. This is made possible by using logical routes rather than physical point-to-point connections.
