How many flows can a Dante device support at a maximum?

A Dante device can support a maximum of 16 flows. In the context of digital audio networking, a flow represents the ability to send audio data to or receive audio data from another device over the Dante network. Each flow is essentially a channel for transmitting digital audio. This capability is one of the core features that allows Dante devices to integrate seamlessly into larger audio networks.

Understanding this is critical because it enables audio professionals to design and scale their systems according to their specific audio transport needs. The ability to handle multiple flows enhances the versatility of Dante systems, making them suitable for various applications such as live events, studio recordings, and installations.

Dante's architecture allows two types of flows: transmit (output) and receive (input), and the 16 flow capability per device ensures a high degree of flexibility in routing audio across a network, making it a preferred choice for many audio engineers and system designers.
