Re: Does this product exist?
Or I'm looking for a single XLR Dante "dongle" you could velcro to the back of an existing powered speaker and configure with a PC app.
(Does Dante support POE, -that would be a good way to power such an interface?)

Maybe it does:
New Presonus AI powered speakers will connect to the StudioLive 34.4.2AI via Dante once option cards

JBL has something close... They support CorbraNet.

There are several brands now sporting various forms of self-powered boxes with digital audio inputs, including Turbosound, Vue, Renkus Heinz, Behringer. Usually AES or some proprietary network system. But I find it strange than none of them use Dante. I would expect that especially from Yamaha at this point.

I'm hoping that that will happen too. It seems to be the only standard (correct me if wrong) that is or can be AVB compliant. Ultimately I'm guessing that when AVB products finally start shipping in numbers, it will make sense for self-powered boxes to follow suit. (personally hoping that Speakerpower do it soon so the Danley's can be "networked")

Dante has some advantages over Cobranet as a format from what I've read, seems like it could bring this more mainstream! Only Harmon products have Cobranet, I think?

CobraNet is owned by Cirrus Logic and is supported by a large number of manufacturers. These manufacturers license CobraNet for implementation into their products from Cirrus.
Hello to you too!

For some more information about Dante and using Dante Controller, this applications note was just published the other day on the MediaMatrix User Forum discussing how Dante is used with the MediaMatrix products:
NIONote on Dante (Page 1)
For those who are doing more networked audio systems, this may be useful:

There have been multiple attempts to provide a single standard for digital interfaces. The industry has never been very good at playing nice together (remember early days of midi?). I am expecting some consumer standard to perhaps win by default... or not. Not my area of experitse

PS: Cirrus bought Peak Audio in 2001. Peak was the developer of CobraNet, and the original designer of MediaMatrix. AFAIK there were numerous users of CobraNet years ago. I haven't been keeping score lately. Cirris is mainly in the IC business selling chips to the Apples of the world.

Cobranet seems to be the audio distribution standard in large installs like stadia - it is NOT something easy or simple to deploy, especially for a mobile rig that changes often.
Dante is more easily customized on-the-fly. I hope it becomes the standard.

Re: Does this product exist?
Yes, it is often used in a lot of installations, large and small alike.
I'm not buying this for a minute. CobraNet is WAY easier to set up and configure than most people make it. Often they make it more difficult just because they don't get a grip on how it works. It is very simple technology and it works very well. Of course, it doesn't help that a lot of manufacturers try to obfuscate how it works, which makes everything more complicated in the first place.
Dante is being supported by a number of manufacturers now. They are pretty major players, too. So I think it is well on its way.
Re: Does this product exist?
I noticed this on Audinate's site earlier today Dante Ultimo 2x2 which looks targeted at this market!

Cobranet may or may not easy to use, but we can for sure say that it only seems to be used in certain devices. Dante is breaking out across lots of different brands and price levels, licensing must be reasonable. Seems like it is well positioned to gain more uniformity in the biz than Cobranet.
Re: Does this product exist?
VUE's powered boxes have AVB inputs on them, possibly able to be configured to run Dante if I recall. $$$ Boxes though.

Re: Does this product exist?
I disagree completely as well. Many cobranet devices don't even need computers to be configured...Whirlwind CI2L, CO2L, Biamp Expos, Expi's, etc. Dante will typically need a computer for configuration in the same aspects that cobranet does....and the deployment is essentially the same. Hook it up, and then tell it where to send data. While I am completely for moving forward with technology...i don't see a need to knock proven technology. I will say that a problem with cobranet is the ability to sync the network clock to an external clock . I do see an external clock sync into the CL series desks, but i don't know if it will sync the dante clock.
