Firstly, it specifies that the quantity for the MOD-DMI-DANTE2 card should be two (2), not one, addressing a missing quantity in the original request. Secondly, it clarifies that the DIGICO X-WAVES-SD11 SD11 SD-WAVES CARD is still required. This feature, described as an "optional" manufacturer component, is included as a factory-fitted internal Waves Card in the two Digico SD11 consoles specified in the contract.
