DM-NAX-16AIN

The Crestron DM-NAX-16AIN is an Audio-over-IP (AoIP) encoder that provides 16 local stereo audio inputs to a DM NAX Crestron multiroom audio distribution network. It provides 8 digital inputs comprised of 4 SPDIF TOSLINK® connectors and 4 SPDIF coaxial connectors. Each digital input supports 2-channel PCM audio. The DM-NAX-16AIN also provides 8 analog stereo inputs. Inputs 1-4 offer balanced 5‑pin terminal block connectors in parallel with unbalanced RCA connectors, and inputs 5-8 offer RCA connectors.

The DM NAX® audio-over-IP platform is built on the standards of AES67 with additional ease of configuration via a web interface, SIMPL, C#, and/or a RESTful API. It is compatible with the following:

DM NVX® AV-over-IP through the AES67 secondary audio stream

Third-party AES67 solutions

Dante® networked audio devices via the compatibility mode enabled through Dante Controller

Audio-over-IP

DM NAX audio-over-IP takes audio distribution to a whole new level by putting it onto the network, and the scale of DM NAX far exceeds the capabilities of previous generations of Crestron distributed audio. DM NAX units integrate with DM NVX devices to pull audio from video feeds for rooms without displays.

The two RJ-45 ports on the rear panel, labeled as 1 and 2, can be configured to either share network traffic (to support a courtesy port application) or to isolate control and AoIP traffic between the two ports.
