About Dante
This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network pro-
tocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to de liver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling 
and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers 
the following benefits:
• It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channe ls (in theory) of audio over a GbE network. (The MTX5-D 
features 16...

About redundant networks
A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary cir-
cuit and a secondary circuit.  Normally, the network operates 
on the primary circuit. However,  if the primary connection is 
broken, the secondary circuit wi ll automatically take over 
communications. Therefore, us ing a redundant network with 
a star topology would increase  resiliency against unexpected 
network problems relative  to a daisy chain network.

Various Procedures
With the MTX/MRX system, input/output port patching, matrix 
mixer settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the 
same MTX/MRX system are stored  together as a “preset” in the 
MTX5-D and in MTX-MRX Editor  for recall when desired.
Each MTX/MRX system can store 50 presets. MTX-MRX Edi-
tor is used to edit presets.
Each preset contains settings such as the following.
• Input/output port settings and patching
• Input/output channel gain and EQ settings
