The French audio specialist and equipment manufacturer Digigram has announced the release of a new Dante sound card as part of its ALP-X range. Launched at IBC Amsterdam 2024 and available from Digigram’s network of distributors early October 2024, ALP-DANTE-LE is the eighth addition to the fast growing range of sound cards launched in 2022.
Capitalizing on the success of the ALP-DANTE, Digigram has developed ALP-DANTE-LE, a lighter version of the PCIe sound card that benefits from its most prominent features.
ALP-DANTE-LE was designed using the same sturdy hardware platform as the rest of the ALP-X range,  whose proven design is a synonym for legendary reliability. The card also features the famous low-profile form factor, coupled to a fanless design to address audio applications where space and reliability are at stake. ALP-DANTE-LE operates under Windows and Linux drivers and is compatible with AES67 and SMPTE 2110-30 protocols, increasing its versatility to address countless applications regardless of the environments. Lastly, the card seamlessly integrates Dante networks thanks to the usual Dante Controller interface, and Digigram’s signature reliability and low latency coupled with the audio quality inherent in the Dante protocol.
ALP-DANTE-LE capitalizes on Digigram’s decades of expertise and naturally comes as the new extension of  the ALP-X family, while being a cost-effective addition to the range.
“We have concentrated all the acclaimed benefits of ALP-DANTE in its lighter version ALP-DANTE-LE, and kept the main functionalities that are essential to most projects where audio is critical. The slim form factor, Dante compatibility with other protocols, 64 channels in and 64 channels out, plus support for Linux and Windows operating systems – are among the card’s highlights” states Stéphane Bert, Digigram’s Presales Manager.
ALP-DANTE-LE comes with adjusted connectivity, while keeping the same number of channels. This optimized card will power a larger array of 365/24/7 run applications that require recording, playout or real time processing.
“It is important for Digigram to cater to all of our customers’ projects, regardless of the application or budget, and provide them with untouched quality. All these benefits now come at an optimized price for improved cost-effectiveness,” concludes Bert. […]

He has pivoted several times within the media industry in Singapore from starting as a broadcast journalist to pop radio to sports tv and also as a part of the start-up team for Money FM 89.3 where he anchored the morning drive time show for over five years.After leaving the stations earlier this year, he started his own media consultancy with an aim to help businesses build their brand through podcasting.Danker says: “I believe that the data analytics that you can get from podcasting represents a more accurate way of building your content as well as meeting the clients’ needs. In the world of “on demand” podcasting represents an opportunity as there is a low barrier of entry and the convenience of the “pause button” is something that appeals to consumers. They are able to multitask while listening to the podcast and are not bound to their driver’s seat to only be able to complete content while driving like how radio tends to depend on. The ease of sharing a podcast via social media is also a great way to gain new audiences and of course, it makes access to guests so much easier. With that in mind, I think podcasting is a great tool for brands to build and reach audiences as a great marketing tool.” […]
