About Dante About Dante ■ Overview of Dante The DME7 transmits digital audio signals by using the Dante protocol. Dante is a network audio protocol developed by Audinate. In a network environment compatible with Gigabit Ethernet, Dante has the advantage of being able to transmit multiple audio signals with different sampling frequencies/bit rates as well as device control signals within the same network. For details on Dante, refer to the Audinate website. http://www.audinate.com/ In addition, a variety of information about Dante can be found on the Yamaha Pro Audio website. https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ NOTE • With a Dante network, do not use the EEE function* of the network switch. The EEE function may deteriorate the clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio. Therefore, please note the following. ◦ When using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not use a switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off. ◦ When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off. *EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) function: Technology that reduces the power consumption of Ethernet devices during periods of low network traffic; also known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az DME7 Reference Manual | 15

Overview of Dante
The DME7 transmits digital audio signals by using the Dante protocol. Dante is a network audio protocol
developed by Audinate. In a network environment compatible with Gigabit Ethernet, Dante has the advantage of
being able to transmit multiple audio signals with different sampling frequencies/bit rates as well as device
control signals within the same network.
For details on Dante, refer to the Audinate website.
In addition, a variety of information about Dante can be found on the Yamaha Pro Audio website.
NOTE
With a Dante network, do not use the EEE function* of the network switch.
The EEE function may deteriorate the clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio.
Therefore, please note the following.
When using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not
use a switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off.
When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such
switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off.
