Thank you for purchasing a Dante AVIO Adapter! We’ve extended the warranty on all AVIO adapters to 2 years and registration is no longer required.
Follow these steps to get your Dante AVIO adapters connected and routing audio quickly.
1. Connect to a Network Switch
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect the adapter’s network port to a PoE-capable switch on your Dante network.
- No PoE switch? Connect the adapter to a PoE injector, then connect the injector to your network switch.
2. Confirm Power and Sync Status
- For AVIO adapters, both Ethernet LEDs (on the RJ45 port) should be green—either solid or flashing.
- For AVIO Install adapters, the status LED on top of the unit should be solid green or blue.
3. Connect Audio Devices and Computers
- Plug the AVIO adapter into your audio gear using the appropriate connectors (XLR, USB, or Euroblock depending on model)
4. Connect Dante Controller
- Launch Dante Controller on a computer connected to the same network.
- Use Dante Controller to route audio to and from your AVIO adapter and any other Dante-enabled device.
5. Check for Firmware Updates
- In Dante Controller click Dante Updater to ensure your AVIO adapter is running the latest firmware.
6. Configure Device Settings
- In Dante Controller, double-click your AVIO adapter in the Routing tab to open Device View.
- Adjust device settings such as:
- Name, Sample Rate, Bit Depth, and Latency (Device Config tab)
- IP Address (Network Config tab)
- Audio Controls (Controls tab)

7. Enrolling Dante AVIO in Dante Director / DDM
The required version is 4.2.3.5. This is the minimum recommended firmware version to ensure the AVIO device enrolls and operates reliably within Dante Director and DDM (Dante Domain Manager). Earlier versions may cause discovery failures, enrollment errors, or unstable behavior.
