Once fitted, the amplifier joins any Dante™ or AES67 network and exchanges 48 kHz \/ 24-bit audio with sources, microphones, mixers and processors from any manufacturer.

The module ships as an installation kit with all accessories needed to fit it into the amplifier chassis, and AUDAC specifies that installation be carried out by qualified technicians. On the network, Dante devices self-configure using DHCP and connect to standard 100 Mbit or 1 Gbit switches through an RJ45 (Ethernet) connector. All four input and four output channels transfer bidirectional 48 kHz \/ 24-bit audio at the same time, with latency of 2 or 5 ms depending on network load. In an MFA amplifier, the module can share the installed SourceCon™ source or line input across the Dante network to other zones. The XT version adds an updated power supply with lower noise and interference sensitivity, TouchLink™ capability, full AUDAC Touch™ compatibility and AES67 support. That makes it a good fit for decentralized systems where each zone amplifier receives paging from a network console such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-npm200-dante-enabled-poe-paging-microphone-with-integrated-touchscreen-4-x-4-dante-channels\"\u003eNPM200\u003c\/a\u003e.
