DM8500

Modern installed audio applications require a flexible digital audio processor with user-friendly features, such as user-configurable DSP and routing options, multiple inputs and outputs – and built in audio networking. Designed for installed use in corporate environments, hospitality venues and more, the DM8500 provides 128 channels of Dante digital audio networking for easy integration with other equipment. The highly versatile DM8500 seamlessly integrates with computer based conferencing systems using embedded USB, and can control and monitor external devices using built-in Ethernet and RS232 ports.

At the heart of the DM8500 is an advanced digital audio processor, with the power and versatility to handle even the most challenging application. Designed around an open architecture format, system integrators can easily configure the DM8500 to meet the requirements of any customer – and create systems that are eminently expandable, and virtually future-proof.

DSP

The DM8500 DSP is equipped with a comprehensive library of processing modules that can be deployed and configured using DM Designer software. This easy-to-use software allows the entire signal and processing structure to be defined and compiled right on your PC – and then run within DM8500's robust onboard DSP. Processing modules include: dual redundant Dante/AES 67 compatible 64x64 network audio transport; ULTRANET 16 channel digital audio transport output for use with compatible devices; 24 freely assignable wideband AEC processors; class compliant driverless USB audio In and Out; 16GB SSD media record and replay engine Mixers; Auto Mixer; Equalisers; Feedback Suppression; a variety of audio filters, and much more. DM8500 provides a massive audio toolkit, empowering you to create the ideal custom configuration for any application.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation

Office spaces, boardrooms and conference centers are often constructed with only a passing consideration regarding acoustics. Surfaces are typically hard, such as glass, painted walls, and even steel and stone, all of which can trigger reverberation and echoes that can make a teleconference less than optimal. The DM8500 uses its wide band AEC module to detect and eliminate secondary room reflections from the signal path, so all participants enjoy the highest quality sound – whether the content is speech, music, or multimedia.
