PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Crestron DM NAX Audio-over-IP Network Encoder with 16 Stereo Inputs - Local Warranty
A 1RU audio-over-IP encoder that puts 16 local stereo sources onto a DM NAX multiroom audio network, with 8 analog and 8 S/PDIF digital inputs. Built on AES67, it works with DM NVX, third-party AES67 devices and Dante equipment.
Key Features
- 16 stereo inputs streamed as DM NAX or AES67 audio-over-IP
- 8 S/PDIF digital inputs (4 TOSLINK optical, 4 coaxial), 2-channel PCM
- 8 analog stereo RCA inputs; inputs 1–4 also on balanced 5-pin terminal blocks
- Adjustable level compensation (±10 dB) and signal detect per input
- Interoperable with Dante devices via AES67 compatibility mode
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports: shared (courtesy port) or isolated control and AoIP traffic
- Web interface setup; Crestron Home and SIMPL integration

Frequently Asked Questions — DM-NAX-16AIN
What sources can be connected to the DM-NAX-16AIN?
Up to 16 stereo sources: 8 analog sources on RCA (inputs 1–4 also available on balanced 5-pin terminal blocks) and 8 digital sources on S/PDIF, four TOSLINK optical and four coaxial.
Does it work with Dante?
Yes. It is interoperable with Dante audio networking devices via AES67, using the compatibility mode enabled through Dante Controller.
Can it be used with DM NVX?
Yes. DM NAX is compatible with DM NVX AV-over-IP through the AES67 secondary audio stream.
What are the two Ethernet ports for?
They can share network traffic, for a courtesy port application, or isolate control traffic from AoIP traffic.
Does it support digital surround formats?
Each digital input supports 2-channel PCM audio.
