Over the last several months, Extron, one of the first adopters of Dante audio networking, has doubled down on Dante Domain Manager-ready Dante support with new power amplifiers, audio DSP processors, and 4K/60 fiber optic AV matrix switchers.
NetPA Ultra: The NetPA Ultra Dante-enabled audio power amplifiers deliver 100 watts per channel in a half rack, 1U, convection cooled, plenum rated enclosure that includes rack mount hardware. With the NetPA® Ultra amplifiers, you get all the advantages of Extron’s award winning XPA Ultra amplifiers combined with the power of Dante network audio distribution. These ENERGY STAR qualified amplifiers also offer integrated DSP, allowing a single device to function as a complete audio system endpoint.
FOX3 Series: The FOX3 Series is the latest high-performance family of fiber optic extenders and matrix switchers for end-to-end distribution of 4K video, audio, control, USB, and 3D sync. This enterprise fiber platform supports HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 18 Gbps and is HDCP 2.3 compliant for the secure transmission of uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video over fiber. Delivering exceptional reliability and advanced capabilities such as audio breakaway, audio embedding/de-embedding and 64×64 channel Dante integration, the FOX3 Series meets the demands of any mission-critical environment with a wide selection of modular matrix switchers from 8×8 to 320×320.
DMP Plus Series: The DMP Plus Series of Audio DSP Processors feature analog I/O, AEC – Acoustic Echo Cancellation, and Dante connectivity on AT models. The DMP 128 FlexPlus features twelve FlexInput channels with full DSP, including AEC, in only a half rack space. The DMP 64 Plus AT models offer six DSP input channels with AEC and 6×4 analog connectivity in a compact, half rack solution that is powered by PoE+. The XMP 240 Expansion Matrix Processor features 24 channels of AEC and 48×48 Dante connectivity in only a half rack space that can be used standalone for matrix processing in an all network audio system or connected to a DMP Plus Series processor. With an extensive mix matrix, DMP Plus Audio DSP Processors provide the ability to easily connect and route multiple types of source signals, including Dante ceiling microphone arrays and other Dante enabled devices, to accommodate diverse analog and digital system requirements.
