Behringer AOIP-DANTE — 64x64 Dante networking for the WING console

The Behringer AOIP-DANTE is an internal audio-over-IP module designed exclusively for the Behringer WING digital mixing console, including the WING Rack and WING Compact variants. Once installed, it turns the console's two built-in Ethernet ports into a full Dante network interface, delivering 64 bidirectional channels of networked audio at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. This hardware is the right choice for live sound engineers, houses of worship, broadcasters, and touring productions that need to integrate a WING into an existing Dante or AES67 infrastructure without sacrificing the rear expansion slot.

Audinate Brooklyn II silicon and AES67 compliance

At the heart of the module sits the Audinate Brooklyn II chipset, the same Dante silicon used across thousands of professional AoIP installations worldwide. The card is fully AES67 compliant, so it interoperates with Ravenna, Livewire+, and other AES67-based systems, while DSCP-based QoS keeps time-critical audio packets prioritised on shared networks. Mixed sample and bit rates can coexist on the same physical network, and sample-accurate synchronization ensures phase-coherent routing across multiple endpoints.

Network connectivity and port modes

The module reuses the WING's two built-in Ethernet ports rather than occupying the rear expansion slot, which means a WING-Live SD/SDHC recorder or other interface card can remain installed at the same time. Each port can be configured for a specific role to match the venue's network design.

• Network Ports: 2× Ethernet (RJ45) — primary and secondary on the WING's built-in NICs
• Configuration options include Switched / Redundant / Separate modes, allowing you to combine control and Dante on one cable, run a fully redundant primary+secondary topology, or isolate control data from audio traffic.
• Supported Link Speeds: 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gigabit Ethernet — works with standard unmanaged switches for small setups
• QoS: DSCP-based packet prioritisation — protects audio from data bursts on shared networks

Audio channels, sample rates, and latency

The card delivers 64 inputs and 64 outputs simultaneously, which is enough to handle a full band plus monitor sends, multitrack recording feeds, or a stage-box return network from a single WING. Sample-accurate clocking and low-latency processing keep the round-trip delay well under 1 ms in real-world deployments, so the module is suitable for in-ear monitoring and broadcast confidence feeds.

• Dante Channels: 64 input / 64 output — bidirectional, all routable from the WING routing menu
• Sample Rates: 48 kHz (primary), 44.1 kHz (selectable) — must match the console clock setting
• Bit Depth: 24-bit — full professional dynamic range on every channel
• Latency: under 1 ms round-trip — verified in live deployments with Dante Virtual Soundcard

Installation, routing, and integration

The module is designed for internal installation on the WING's main board connector and is shipped with an upgrade voucher for a certified service centre to perform the fitting, preserving the manufacturer's warranty on both console and card. Once seated, configuration is handled through Audinate's free Dante Controller software on any networked computer, where channels can be named, routed, and subscribed across the entire Dante domain.

• Form Factor: Internal expansion module — installs inside the WING, WING Rack, or WING Compact
• Configuration Tool: Audinate Dante Controller — remote routing and device naming from any PC or Mac on the network
• Standards: Dante + AES67 — interoperable with Ravenna, Livewire+, and other AoIP systems
• Simultaneous Operation: Dante, network control, SD recording, USB — all four can run concurrently on the same console
