QSC CDN64
Dante™ Audio Bridge Card
64×64
Provides a link for up to 64x64 channels at 48 kHz from any Dante™ edge network, such as wireless microphones and digital mixers, directly into the Q-SYS ecosystem for advanced processing and redistribution over Q-Lan for larger LAN and WAN IT infrastructures.
Description
The QSC CDN64 is a powerful Dante audio bridge card that integrates Dante networks directly into the Q‑SYS ecosystem. It supports up to 64×64 channels at 48 kHz, with sample‑rate conversion for higher rates including 32×32 at 96 kHz and 16×16 at 192 kHz.
As Type 2 hardware, the CDN64 is optimized for newer Q‑SYS Cores and I/O Frames, offering modern cabling, connectors, and improved performance. The card features dual RJ‑45 ports for redundant or daisy‑chained Dante connectivity. It handles sample rate conversion (SRC) at both inputs and outputs —incurring about 2 ms delay at each conversion stage.
With the CDN64 installed, Q‑SYS can bridge Dante, CobraNet, AVB, and Q‑LAN networks (when matching cards are present) to create comprehensive audio transport across varied systems. Because no additional license is required, it integrates effortlessly into compatible Q‑SYS systems.
Ideal for theaters, auditoriums, worship venues, and large‑scale installations, the CDN64 brings high‑channel Dante connectivity into your Q‑SYS architecture for seamless, professional audio networking.
CDN64 Features
• Up to 64x64 Dante network audio channels
• Sample rate conversion to and from other network audio transports such as CobraNet, AVB and Q-Lan
• Integrate Dante-enabled ‘front-of-house’ input or output sources with the ‘back-of-house’ or ‘facility-wide’ Q-Sys integrated platform
