How much latency is acceptable in a live sound situation?

Latency should always be set as low as is possible. In a live sound system, transport latency less than 1ms is expected, because many other parts of the signal path (signal processors) also add to the overall system latency. In order to bring latency down to the lowest possible values, gigabit connections should be used throughout. This allows greater freedom to build a high performance, flexible network that maintains fantastic low latency performance.Dante offers sub-millisecond latency for all products.
