At the 2020 InfoComm show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mediamatrix is introducing the new sDAB Series of networkable digital audio bridges that are break-in/break-out, rack-mountable, and allow for the expansion of audio I/O from sDAB to sDAB, or via the MediaMatrix family of DSPs.
Five sDAB pre-configured models are available, supporting 8i x 8o, 16i, 16o, plus special-order 16i x 16o and 32o configurations, respectively. All models supporting balanced mic/line level inputs have a level range from -60 to +24 dBu, with software switchable +48-volt phantom on each input. Further, all models with balanced line-level outputs allow for up +24 dBu increase. And, each audio I/O connection is designed to allow for quick hook-up and connectivity utilizing 3.81 mm phoenix/euroblock connectors, each with individual plus (+), minus (-), and ground (G).
The sDAB series of networkable digital audio bridges support Dante and/or AES67 audio-over-IP, with control and monitoring via the nWare software suite. Control and monitoring can also be managed by using the built-in Web UI allowing for sDAB to sDAB audio routing and distribution together with control and monitoring from the standalone web server browser-pages. Dual RJ-45 network jacks provide for steaming audio and control over Ethernet supporting redundant or switched-mode configuration as well as being Dante Domain Manager “DDM” ready.
For clear monitoring and visibility, RGB front-panel LEDs, two per channel, provide metering and streaming status at a sample rate of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz at 32-bit A/D and D/A conversion (AES-67 at 48 kHz ) All sDAB models feature a 25-pin GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) ‘D’ connector for digital, and dry contact closure connectivity. The GPIO also allows for an optional DIN rail mounting system called the GPIO-25 (ordered separately) for more efficient rack wiring and service. The unit is powered via a built-in universal 90 to 260 AC power supply with optional 12-volt DC redundancy for mission-critical applications.
