Audinate Group Limited (ASX: AD8), developer of the industry-leading Dante® AVoIP platform, has celebrated 20 years of redefining AV networking at NAMM 2026. Over the past two decades, Dante has become the de facto standard of modern AV networking, powering stages, studios, houses of worship, corporate environments, and higher education campuses worldwide. At NAMM, experience that journey firsthand with direct access to Audinate’s experts, hands-on Dante training, and the opportunity to explore the latest Dante-enabled solutions from more than 60 OEM partners across the show floor.

visitors can explore how Dante simplifies live-sound system design. By moving audio over a standard IP network, Dante dramatically reduces the quantity and bulk of cabling required on a show, making load-ins faster and stages cleaner while enabling system scale far beyond what analog infrastructure can support. Designing with Dante also gives engineers access to a broad interoperable ecosystem of gear from capture and processing to playout, allowing every part of the signal chain to work together predictably, regardless of manufacturer.

Live demonstrations in Dante Controller highlighted how Dante maintains the reliability and performance demanded for live production, with ultra-low deterministic latency, automatic precise synchronisation, and built-in redundancy.

Dante AVIO Adapters were also featured, illustrating how engineers can bring their trusted gear onto a Dante network without redesigning their entire rig. AVIO adapters let users build modern, scalable systems around the equipment they already rely on, making it easy to expand channel counts, clean up cabling, and move audio anywhere it needs to go using the network.

“Across live sound, touring, and event production, expectations for flexibility and scalability have never been higher,” said Joshua Rush, Chief Marketing Officer at Audinate. “NAMM 2026 allows us to show how the Dante platform has risen to the challenge for 20 years, not by adding complexity, but by removing it. Whether you’re building a small rig or a large system, Dante makes it easier to design, deploy, and manage audio networks.”

Audinate also hosted 3 full days of free training , featuring guest instructors and experts from leading manufacturers, including Allen & Heath, Digital Audio Denmark, EAW, and Solid State Logic. Sessions exploreed practical AV networking workflows, deployment strategies, and best practices for engineers working across live sound, touring, and installed systems.
