Overview
AXP 64 C AT devices are equipped with an AT (Extron Audio Transport) bus and use Dante
technology to provide high performance digital audio networking over standard TCP/IP
networks. Dante allows audio channels to be transported across a switched Ethernet data
network while meeting the quality requirements of professional audio.
The AXP 64 C AT converts audio signals, processes them, then routes them to the AT bus
for availablity over the network. The audio network can be shared with control traffic or
unrelated data traffic. Audio channels can be unicast or multicast to make the best use of
available bandwidth.
The AXP 64 C AT models are both a transmitter (source), and receiver (destination) for
signals on a Dante network. Transmitters and receivers can be located anywhere on the
Ethernet network and can be relocated without reconfiguring the AXP 64 C AT or the
network.
