D&B Audiotechnik Z4010.000 DS10 - The Ultimate Audio Network Bridge Unit
Transform your audio setup with the DS10! It seamlessly connects Dante networks and AES3 digital audio signals, while also distributing Ethernet control data. Ideal for both mobile and installation environments, this 1 RU device is a game-changer. • Connects Dante networks and AES3 digital audio signals effortlessly. • Features an integrated 5-port switch for enhanced connectivity and advanced functions. • Delivers up to sixteen Dante network channels via AES3 digital signal outputs. The AES3 channel streams carry meta data to the four-channel d&b amplifiers. Plus, four AES3 input channels offer flexibility. With its power supply suitable for 100 V – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz and overvoltage protection up to 400 V, the DS10 is a must-have. Audio network bridge, Dante networks, AES3 digital audio, Ethernet control data are the key features here.
The DS10 incorporates an integrated 5-port switch, offering a primary and redundant network for the Dante protocol, as well as advanced functions such as Multicast Filtering and VLAN modes. This extensive switch flexibility provides extended connectivity for a laptop to control the d&b amplifiers using the R1 Remote control software via the OCA/AES70 (Open Control Architecture) protocol. Using the DS10 Audio network bridge, audio signals and remote control data can be combined using a single Ethernet cable. The front panel of the DS10 is designed to match the I/O panel of the D80 Touring rack assembly. This ensures a simple integration within existing system configurations. The DS10 features a power supply suitable for mains voltages 100 V – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz, with Overvoltage protection of up to 400 V.
