USB Audio
A USB-C® connector is built-in to the front panel of the DM-NAX-AUD-USB, allowing for bidirectional
stereo USBaudio transfer at rates up to 24-bit/48kHz. This stereo signal can be output as a
DMNAXAoIPstream onto the network or as an unbalanced line-level analog signal from the local 1/8in.
(3.5mm) audio output connector.
Audio-over-IP
DMNAX takes audio distribution to a whole new level by putting it on the network. The
DM-NAX-AUD-USB sends and receives DMNAX and AES67 encoded audio over a standard IP network.
A single DMNAX system can handle audio distribution between 32 DMNAX devices and supports up to
256 audio output zones. DMNAX devices can seamlessly pull and distribute the audio from DMNVX
sources.
