This example shows two iLive system using Dante as a digital mic splitter
to share the Mic Preamps for FOH and Monitor mixing. The Gigabit
switch is needed if you want to add recording and other Dante equipped
audio devices.
Routing and clocking signals
Route signals to the 64 channels of Port B using the iLive OUTPUTS
screen Port B tab. Route signals from the Dante channels to the devices
using Dante Controller.
Return signals from the Dante network to the iLive channels using the
PREAMP screen Source menu. To route a range of channels use the
Remote (Port B) option in the MIXRACK / Mixer Pref / Quick Input
Source Setup screen.
Remember to set the iLive Audio Clock Source to Internal on the Master
MixRack, and to Remote Port B on the Slave MixRack. Use Dante
Controller to set only the Master MixRack as the ‘Preferred master’, and
‘Slave to external wordclock’.

refer to the user guides that come with Dante Controller and Dante
Virtual Soundcard. Also refer to the ‘Understanding M-DANTE’
