SoundTube Entertainment®, a leader in ingenious audio solutions, proudly announces the release of the DSM-16 Dante System Manager. This product is designed to simplify audio distribution for both commercial and residential AV integrators by seamlessly incorporating advanced networked audio capabilities with user-friendly interfaces and hearty performance. The DSM-16 enables residential integrators to easily distribute Dante in the home to bring sophisticated networked systems to residential environments.
The DSM-16 Dante System Manager optimizes audio distribution. For homes, the DSM-16 offers unparalleled flexibility and connectivity, supporting up to 16-mono or 8-stereo zones with the capability of higher channel counts for multi-channel audio or theaters. This system manager fills the void for pro AV integrators between traditional 70V systems and enterprise-level audio setups, providing a more versatile and scalable solution for small to mid-sized installations.
The DSM-16 offers significant benefits for both integrators and users. Integrators will appreciate the easy setup process, which requires no dedicated programmer, and the advanced remote management capabilities that enable proactive troubleshooting. The DSM-16 delivers sophisticated audio distribution with a user-friendly, browser-based interface accessible from any web-enabled device. Paired with SoundTube’s IP-enabled PoE speakers, the DSM-16 becomes the center of a total Dante-enabled networked audio system.
The DSM-16 showcases innovative technology and design, seamlessly integrating with a wide range of audio sources and destinations while delivering uncompressed 24-bit/48kHz audio throughout the home or commercial space. Its elegant, rack-mountable design complements any space while offering comprehensive connectivity options, including 12 line-level inputs, 8 balanced inputs, 2 optical inputs, 2 coax inputs, 8 Dante inputs, 4 balanced outputs, 4 line-level outputs, and 16 Dante outputs.
Advanced control features, such as a third-party API, GPIO ports for Logic I/O, remote volume control, and 12V trigger inputs/outputs, enable seamless integration with popular automation systems including Crestron, Control4, QSC, and others. The DSM-16’s dedicated Dante and Ethernet ports ensure robust network performance by separating control functions from audio network configuration, making it a versatile and reliable solution for modern audio distribution needs.
Users benefit from a sophisticated yet easy-to-use audio distribution system that enhances their work or living spaces with high-quality sound. They enjoy seamless reconfiguration through individually addressable endpoints managed via standard TCP/IP protocols. This provides greater control over room optimization compared to traditional 70V or low-voltage systems.
Integrators appreciate the system’s intuitive setup, remote management capabilities, and the ability to offer “audio as a service,” ensuring ongoing support and maintenance. The simplified installation process eliminates the need for conduit and mistake-proof cabling, while remote monitoring allows for proactive troubleshooting before users are even aware of issues.
Ultimately, the DSM-16 simplifies audio over the network with its advanced technology, user-friendly operation, and efficient management.
