The AXI 22 AT D digitizes two incoming analog mic/line audio channels at 24-bit/48 kHz for output via Dante, and converts two Dante audio channels for its analog line level outputs. It is connected into a Dante network over Ethernet using standard IP networking protocols. This avoids the effort and expense of pulling long analog mic cables from an audio processor to each wall, floor box, or furniture location. Audio system designers can easily design an audio system with AXI 22 AT D wallplate interfaces throughout a large facility, each connecting back into a central equipment location. For additional integration convenience, the AXI 22 AT D can be remotely powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE) using Extron XTP PI 100 and XTP PI 400 power injectors, a network switch equipped with PoE or a midspan PoE injector.
A network of Extron Dante-enabled products, including the AXI 22 AT D audio interfaces, can be set up using Dante Controller software as well as DSP Configurator Software. Dante Controller is used to easily assign an output from an AXI 22 AT D to an input on a Dante-equipped digital signal processor, such as the Extron DMP 128 AT. Similarly, an output from a DMP 128 AT can be assigned to appear at the line level output AXI 22 AT D.
