MONACOR DSM-48DT Digital speaker management system

DSM-48DT Convenient audio management within a network ... Due to the Dante® interface, it is possible to conveniently integrate the digital speaker management system DSM-48DT as a 2-channel receiver into a Dante® audio network. Both of the Dante® signals are available for the input channels IN3 and IN4, alternatively to the analogue inputs and the digital input. Thus, the DSM-48DT allows you to receive one stereo audio signal or two mono audio signals from other Dante®-enabled devices which are located in the same subnetwork and to process this/these in the same way as an analogue signal or AES/EBU signal.
Speaker management systems featuring analogue inputs as well as outputs and additionally provide a Dante® interface are called Breakout Boxes. In order to use the DSM-48DT as a receiver unit, it has to be connected to at least one Fast Ethernet switch (100 Mbps Ethernet). Digital speaker management system, with Dante® module.

The brand Dante® as well as the Dante® software which may have been integrated into these products are licenced by Audinate Pty Ltd. tools4music 01/2017 “With the controllers' range of functions, it is possible to effectively control and optimise a PA system and thus perfectly meet the requirements of practical operation. ... in order to facilitate a Dante connection between the controller and a respectively equipped transmitter, you only actually need a simple CAT cable. And this is the charm of this network solution: it is incredibly easy. It is even possible to use existing indoor installations for the transmission of audio material. In case of the DSM-48DT, this works incredibly well. ... the festival day, however, was simply fantastic: the network was set up in no time and ran smoothly from the first to the last minute.
Pros and Cons
+ app and software run smoothly
+ attractive price
+ Dante allows an easy and secure connection to existing network infrastructures
+ user-friendly controller with practice-oriented features
+ compatible with other controllers/power amplifiers and active speakers (MEGA series and DSM series)
- limitation to just two Dante inputs”Technical Data:DSM-48DT
