HDX with Dante Via

The units also have Thunderbolt and we will, eventually, lose our HD Native cards and go totally Thunderbolt with these and build out a larger Dante network within the facility.

BTW, the Red 4Pre is currently on sale at $700 off!!

I will never understand why Focusrite, and only Focusrite, seems to think Dante is a 32 channel interface. They make some really impressive looking products which are utterly useless because of this single fact. An engineer at Focusrite said to me “I really don’t know why we do that.”
