Product Overview
Introducing the Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA, an advanced next-generation Audio-over-IP (AoIP) amplifier that revolutionizes multiroom audio distribution by seamlessly integrating it into your network. With its impressive capabilities, this amplifier offers eight amplified stereo zone outputs, providing a total of 16 channels. Additionally, it features four stereo line-level outputs that perfectly mirror the speaker zone outputs 1-4.
With a dedicated streaming service player for each of the eight zones, the DM-NAX-8ZSA grants you the freedom to stream different content in every individual zone, tailoring the audio experience to meet your unique preferences and requirements.
Built on the AES67 standards, the DM NAX™ amplifier incorporates additional ease of configuration through a user-friendly web interface, SIMPL Windows, C#, and/or a RESTful API. It seamlessly integrates with the DM-NVX® system using the AES67 secondary audio stream. Moreover, it offers compatibility with third-party AES67 solutions and Dante® via the compatibility mode enabled through Dante Controller. The line and speaker outputs provide full DSP capabilities, ensuring optimal audio performance and control.
For added convenience, voltage triggers corresponding to the four stereo line-level analog outputs can be utilized to power on and off external amplifiers connected to the system. This feature streamlines the operation and management of your audio setup, allowing for effortless control.
