The WaveCAST C Wi-Fi Audio System with Dante is a cutting-edge platform designed for professional audio applications where exceptional sound quality is critical. Featuring real-time audio streaming over Wi-Fi, this system is ideal for assistive listening, music playback, and clear speech delivery. The inclusion of Dante technology enables seamless integration with networked audio systems, making it an essential tool for AV professionals.
This version of WaveCAST C leverages a hardware-based DSP system architecture to ensure the best possible sound for each audio stream. Hearing assistance can be tailored for hearing loss, music can be fine-tuned for high-fidelity playback, and speech can be optimized for maximum intelligibility. With customizable presets, the system can be adapted to specific performance needs.
Equipped with professional-grade audio inputs such as 1/4” XLR connectors and phantom power, the system ensures flexibility in pro-audio setups. DSP features include AGC, limiters, high and low pass filters, and a range compressor control. The 16-bit DAC provides a smooth, digital 48kHz stream, supporting both unicast and multicast network configurations. Up to four systems can operate on the same Wi-Fi network, supporting 45 users in unicast mode and over 1500 users in multicast mode.
Settings can be modified via the front panel or web interface, with Telnet commands enabling remote control. The user-friendly WaveCAST app is available on iOS and Android, allowing for simple channel and volume adjustments.
