4 – Mixer configuration and settings
Procedures for connecting 4 SB-16D units by
Dante when the sampling rate of this unit’s
built-in Dante module is “48kHz”.
In this case, Dante connection without using Dante Controller is
possible. Moreover, controlling a preamp of that SB-16D from a
module with a built in Dante port assigned is possible.
1. If multiple SB-16D units are connected to the Dante
network, set IDs that are not duplicated on them in advance
in order to enable their identification. For details about ID
setting procedures, see the SB-16D operation manual.
2. Connect the following Dante ports to the same Dante
network.

When connecting multiple SB-16D units, connect them
through a switching hub as shown below. In this case,
connect Primary and Secondary to different VLANs or
connect them to different switching hubs.

3. Set the Dante routing control method.
Tap Menu Screen > Rear Panel Setup > Dante Setup to open
the Dante SETUP screen and tap the Controller Settings tab.
4. Set the Routing control setting to “This Console”.
5. Tap “I/O Device” to open the I/O Device page.
6. Following the procedures in “Mounting of devices
connected to the Dante network” on page 62, mount 4
SB-16D units one at a time from the top in the Mounted
Device list.
Through these procedures, the Dante I/O ports of this unit
and the 4 SB-16D units are routed by Dante as follows.
