Product Overview

The QSC SLDAN-512-P is the top-tier Q-SYS software-based Dante license, adding 512x512 channels of Dante network audio to a Q-SYS system without additional I/O hardware. This perpetual Dante channel license is built for the largest enterprise and campus deployments with the highest Dante device counts, and it activates entirely in software. As part of the Q-SYS ecosystem, software-based Dante delivers AES67-compatible network audio integration at maximum channel capacity.

Product Description

Developed through a co-development effort with Audinate, software-based Dante leverages the open architecture and Intel processing headroom of the Q-SYS OS to extend native audio integration to Dante alongside Q-LAN, AES67, and other edge networks. The SLDAN-512-P enables the maximum 512x512 Dante channels with a simple software activation — no network I/O cards required — on a compatible Q-SYS Core such as the Core 510i. Lower channel-count licenses such as the SLDAN-256-P are available for smaller deployments.
