Most often, it is used in applications where a large number of audio channels must be transmitted over relatively long distances and/or to multiple locations. While prior attempts from earlier manufacturers for audio networking may have a reputation for better latencey or better scalability, Audinate is unite in that it can deliver ultra-low latency for live performances, and still sub-millisecond latency needed in a highly scalable building installation.

'Dante' is a combination of software, hardware and network protocols designed to deliver uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency digital audio over a standard Ethernet network. Developed in 2006 by Sydney-based Audinate, Dante is an attempt to build and improve upon the success of previous audio over Ethernet technologies, such as CobraNet and EtherSound.

Like most other audio over Ethernet technologies, Dante is primarily intended to be used in professional, commercial applications. Most often, it is used in applications where a large number of audio channels must be transmitted over relatively long distances and/or to multiple locations.

Dante is designed to have many advantages over traditional analog audio distribution. Audio which is transmitted over analog cables can be adversely affected by signal degradation due to electromagnetic interference, high-frequency attenuation, and voltage drop over long cable runs. Thanks to digital multiplexing, the cabling requirements for digital audio distribution are almost always reduced when compared to analog audio. Dante is also designed to have specific advantages over first-generation audio over Ethernet technologies, such as CobraNet and EtherSound. Technological advancements include the ability to pass through network routers, native gigabit support, higher channel count, lower latency, and automatic configuration.
