Description
NTP Technology DAD AX32
AX32 is an audio routing centerpiece, digital format converter, world-class AD/DA converter, and monitor controller. Quite simply, AX32 changes seamlessly between workflows in seconds, optimizing your production time and efficiency.
With the AX32you get pristine AD and DA conversion with superb sonic quality, versatile I/O structure, and IP Audio via Layer 3 Ethernet (Dante) that follows the track of the AX24 with enhanced performance in terms of the sonic quality of the AD and conversion, up-to 48 analog audio channels, and a flexible digital signal interface, routing and distribution structure.
With all I/O cards and options installed, you can control a 1,500 x 1,500 matrix of audio channels. 8 I/O cards and 2 I/O modules can be installed. Just imagine the flexibility and swift change between workflows you would have right at your fingertips.
All operation and functional control are managed via the DADman control software.
