DM8500

Published in July-August 2020 Issue

Designed for installed use in corporate environments and hospitality venues, the Klark Teknik DM8500 provides 128 channels of Dante digital audio networking for 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 designed around an open architecture format, allowing system integrators to create systems that are expandable, and virtually future-proof. Configured using DM Designer software, the entire signal and processing structure can be defined and compiled on a PC and then run within 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 IO; 16GB SSD media record and replay engine Mixers; Auto Mixer; Equalisers; Feedback Suppression; a variety of audio filters, and much more. DM8500 provides an audio toolkit.

For meetings, conference calls and courtrooms that require the use of multiple open microphones, the DM8500 Auto Mixer and Feedback Suppressor modules automatically adjust and balance levels for multiple inputs and combine them into a single output.
