XTA Network Audio Products
XTA Electronics has announced the launch of their first generation of Network Audio products - the NXBoB8 and NXBoB16.
These break down into two Series: The DC Series of contractor products and the NX Series of touring networking products. All of these products feature monitoring and control by our new iCORE interface.
The NXBoB8 and NXBoB16 respectively provide 8 and 16 channels of analogue audio from Dante networks. 24-bit DACs and careful attention to output drivers ensure professional performance with a dynamic range of 111dB un-weighted and 96kHz sample rate compatibility (network dependent).
Featuring 2 RJ45 network connections, 8 or 16 balanced XLR audio outputs, a single XLR for failsafe override use in voice evacuation applications.and another XLR for local RS485 communication, the NXBoB8 is a single rack space device while the NXBoB16 is two rack spaces.
Audinate’s patent pending Dante networking solution provides ultra-high performance media transport with sample-accurate synchronization and sub-millisecond latency. Also, because devices and channels are automatically discovered and easy to program, Dante is the easiest digital networking solution to install and configure. Overall, Dante offers a complete networking solution and provides users a no-hassle, self-configuring digital audio networking experience using standard Internet Protocols over 100Mb and/or Gigabit Ethernet.
“Dante was an obvious choice for us given its very low latency and ability to deliver on stringent requirements for live professional events,” said Richard Fleming, R & D engineer at XTA. “We actually found that audio sent over Dante sounded superior to audio sent on long analog cable runs.”
