The DAO-24 is a 2U rackmountable output module for the D-Mitri digital audio platform providing 24 channels of balanced line-level analog output on XLR connectors.The DAO-24 provides two software-selectable maximum output levels, as well as transport and conversion of channels from D-Mitri’s AVB-enabled Ethernet network.D-Mitri is a sophisticated digital audio platform which is the basis for a family of powerful modules aimed at providing comprehensive audio processing, matrix mixing and routing for a variety of professional audio applications, including theatrical and spectacle productions, theme parks, and active acoustics. D-Mitri systems feature an extremely flexible and highly programmable control scheme that can be customized by the user via the Python scripting language and Open Sound Control real-time protocol (both open-source tools) to accomplish even the most complex tasks.D-Mitri modules communicate using the Ethernet/AVB standard, which provides guaranteed QoS (quality of service) and very low-latency.Selections of D-Mitri modules can be assembled to provide nearly any configuration of digital or analog inputs and outputs and channels of processing.The DAO-24 facilitates applications requiring large numbers of analog outputs.Full-scale analog output conversion levels can be selected in software to be 16dBu or 26dBu.
