What you’ll need

• 1 x Soundtrack Player
• 1 x Dante Director account

• At least one Dante receiving device
• Ethernet cables
• A PC or Mac with Dante Controller installed

Setup steps

1. Set up your Soundtrack Player following the Soundtrack Player user guide. Skip the RCA step if you’re only using Dante.
2. Check that your Dante devices are on the same wired network as your Soundtrack Player.
3. Connect your computer to the same local network and open Dante Controller. It discovers all Dante-capable devices on the network and lists them under the ‘Device Info’ tab.
4. Enable Dante on the Soundtrack Player by adding it to your Dante Director account:
   1. In Dante Controller, click ‘Devices’ in the menu.
   2. Select ‘Connect a device to DDM / Dante Director’. Log in to your Dante Director account if prompted.
   3. Select all the devices in the dialog.
   4. Click ‘OK’.
5. The devices can now be managed in Dante Director, and Dante is unlocked on your Soundtrack Player. In the ‘Routing’ tab of Dante Controller, you’ll see transmit channels for your Soundtrack Player.
6. Configure your Dante network subscriptions to send audio between devices.
