Chimes
A library of chimes is built into the unit. Chimes can be assigned to different zones to help identify them.
Whenever a chime is triggered, the zone audio will duck or pause, so the chime can be clearly heard over
active media until the chime concludes.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
DSP capabilities such as bass and treble boost and cut, loudness, adjustable delay, speaker protection
and limiting, tone profiles, a full 10-band EQ per output, and an option to have line output as a fixed or
variable level with or without DSP applied are available. Speaker profiles for first and third party
speaker models are built in to simplify output DSP tuning.
Encoder and Decoder Functionality
The DM-NAX-4ZSA-50 can operate as a network AoIP encoder and decoder. The local input sources on
one amplifier can be sent as AoIP streams to DM NAX, Dante, or AES67 capable devices.
Simultaneously, the DM-NAX-4ZSA-50 can receive AoIP streams from these same devices and decode
them for local output.
Modular Design
The DM-NAX-4ZSA-50 is housed in a half-width rack-mountable form factor that can be installed
individually or ganged together in a single rack space. The amplifier is high-density stackable with other
Crestron DMNAX or X-Series amplifiers, allowing multiple units to be installed vertically in an
equipment rack without needing extra ventilation space. Rack mount parts are included, so no additional
mounting accessories or rack shelves are required.
Whether mounting in a rack or placing on a shelf, it is easy to combine two amplifiers into a single, full
rack-width assembly.
Gallium Nitride (GaN) Amplification
The DM-NAX-4ZSA-50 is the first Crestron amplifier to feature GaN Class D technology. GaN
amplification allows higher output power to fit into small form factors without sacrificing efficiency or
audio performance. The DM-NAX-4ZSA-50 is capable of 50W per channel of amplifier output power in
a half-width 1RU housing that matches the depth of the DM-NAX-AMP-X300.
