OPERATING GUIDE
DANTE® –AES67
MICROPHONE INTERFACE
M55WDM55WD

The Audix Dante–AES67 microphone systems are the industry’s first integrated
solution to eliminate multiple connectors by providing audio, LED status and logic
functionality with a single RJ45 cable connection. This design reduces conventional
wiring and installation time by 90% and eliminates wiring errors. Once the connection
is made to the network via the Audix DN4 interface, the Audix microphone(s) will be
automatically recognized and populated by model number in the Audix DSP plugin.
