DriveSYS8-Dante is an 8 × 8 audio processor with advanced auto-mixing, matrix, full DSP and multi-zone management, designed for commercial, corporate and conference installations. It features 8 balanced analog inputs and 8 balanced analog outputs, with Dante support for 32 inputs and 32 network outputs. Each input features microphone preamplification with 48 V Phantom power, adjustable gain from 0 to 40 dB in 1 dB steps, and 24-bit AD/DA conversion, ensuring high audio quality and maximum configuration flexibility.
The DSP integrates professional modules including feedback suppression, automix, matrix mixing, zone routing, PEQ, crossover, compressor, AGC, AEC, and AI ANC, as well as advanced features such as noise gate, phase filter, high-pass and low-pass filtering, limiter, dynamic DEQ, and dedicated loudspeaker libraries.
DriveSYS8-Dante supports remote control via TCP/IP, RS232, RS485, and USB (driver-free), with a comprehensive web interface for configuration, presets, loudspeaker tuning, FIR, DEQ, delay, and user management. The front panel includes an LCD display for device name, presets, IP, input/output levels, input mode, and firmware version.
