Hi All,

I'm searching far and wide for the SL-Dante-MIX option card (https://shop.presonus.com/SL-Dante-MIX) but since the product is discontinued I cannot find it, even at used and 3rd party sellers.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks!

I need a couple of these cards as well.
Now that we're in 2021 any other sources for this card?

We'd even consider buying a used StudioLive or RM16/32AI with one installed to get it if possible.

Also, Presonus, would you considering manufacturing more of these cards?'

Thanks!
Jeff

Presonus need to step up and fix this problem. For a mixer that's only five years old and to have a common fault like this is unprofessional and a sign of bad loyalty to their customers. for without customers they would not be a company. Most of us have purchased the CS18 desk to go with this mixer and as it no longer talks to their next series have made these worthless.

Presonus how about a fix to this issue.

Well I have a brand new SL-Dante-Mix card in its original box that was purchased in 2016 but has never been used.

I'm based in the UK if that makes any difference.

I also have the SL-AVB-Mix card in the same unused condition and a MOTU AVB Switch if anybody might the looking for one of those?

Btw, keep in mind that those dante cards are on brooklyn-2 firmware v2.x and can’t be updated beyond that.

HELP - SL-DANTE-MIX
Well it's now the end (almost) of 2022 and the SL-Dante-MIX cards are impossible to find.
We purchased a matching StudioLive 24.4.2AI and we want to join them together and run both of them via DANTE (currently using an analog snake, and FireWire on a PC w UC and Capture)

PreSonus - is there any timeline on when these cards will be back in stock? or are they discontinued?

If they're discontinued, is there a compatible card of some kind I can use instead?
Can I use DANTE Virtual Soundcard software (or PCI card) in conjunction with FireWire to both boards?
Can I use FireWire through UC to control / access TWO StudioLive mixers at the same time?
Can I use Dante Virtual Sound Card to control / access TWO StudioLive mixers at the same time?

If I could get SL-Dante-MIX cards, what DANTE device(s) would you recommend for use on the "stage" to capture all our mic's - and to receive our Monitor mixes etc.?

You can still find information about the "StudioLive 48AI Mix System", as it was called and the text says: "Each StudioLive 48AI Mix System provides a robust 64x50 FireWire audio interface". StudioLive 48AI Mix System means two 24.4.2AI cascaded with one of them being the Master mixer, so two SL-Dante-MIX cards will not do what you think. Only the Master mixer can use a Dante card and if you don't have one, it's very, very difficult to get one. They are extremely rare on ebay and other platforms. The cards are discontinued and the shops are empty. And PreSonus has never said that they plan to re-release any of the AI cards.

To be clear: Cascading AI consoles works only through FireWire and there is no other way to connect anything. No Dante, no AVB. You will loose time and money by trying to find old equipment and it's not said that it works as you expect. The Dante cards use a very old protocol, which is not compatible with current Dante standards. I'm no expert for Dante, so don't ask for details. I just "mirror" what has been written in the Forums and other sources.

The SL24.42AI was a nice mixer. I had one and used it with a RM32AI as AVB I network stagebox. Later I had a CS18AI, a RM32AI and a RM16AI until a new firmware version killed the cascading feature. Then I joined the Series III world and I have to say that I do not regret it. It's way better than the AI world and it's also possible to connect AVB II and Dante via the AVB-D16 "AVB-to-Dante-Bridge". The D16's are quite expensive and they only make sense when a connection to Dante equipped mixers is needed. The AVB II system is very similar to the Dante system and it's complete. You can even add a computer (Mac) to the 64x64 AVB network for recording and playing tracks.
