Audio-over-IP
DM NAX takes audio distribution to a whole new level by putting it on the network. The DM-NAX-2XLRI-1G sends and receives DM NAX and AES67 encoded audio over a standard IP network. A single DM NAX system can handle audio distribution between 32 DM NAX devices and supports up to 256 audio output zones. DM NAX devices can seamlessly pull and distribute the audio from DM NVX sources.
Line Level and Microphone Level Support
The front panel XLR connectors of the DM-NAX-2XLRI-1G can be configured for either line level or microphone level input. Each XLR input can be configured to send a +48V phantom power signal to power a connected condenser microphone.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
DSP capabilities such as a 5-band EQ per XLR input and level control of all input and output signal typ are available to configure via the web user interface.
Encoder and Decoder Functionality
The DM-NAX-2XLRI-1G can operate as a network AV encoder and decoder. The local input sources on one amplifier can be sent as AoIP streams to DM NAX, Dante, or AES67 capable devices.
Simultaneously, the DM-NAX-2XLRI-1G can receive AoIP streams from these same devices and decode them for local output.
DM-NAX-8ZSA
The Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA is a next generation DM NAX® Audio-over-IP (AoIP) amplifier that puts Crestron multiroom audio distribution on the network. It provides eight amplified stereo zone (16-channel) outputs. Four stereo line-level outputs mirror speaker zone outputs 1-4.
A dedicated streaming service player for each of the eight zones enables complete freedom to stream different content in every zone. Full DSP capabilities are available on the line and speaker outputs.

NOTES:
- DM NAX devices generate multicast traffic on the network. Even a single DM NAX device connected to an unmanaged network can cause communication issues with other devices connected to the same network. For information on system installation, refer to the DM NAX® Audio-over-IP System Design Guide.
- If DM NAX devices must be set up before configuring network settings on a managed switch, use the Port Selection on page 242 functionality on the DM NAX device to isolate the AoIP traffic to the secondary Ethernet port. For example, when connecting the DM NAX to a control system or authenticating streaming service accounts. This ensures that during setup, the primary Management port of the device does not receive AoIP traffic.
This application diagram shows the following setup:
- Up to eight zones of amplification and audio distribution
- Local line level input
- Local line level output to an Audio Video Receiver (AVR) mirroring a zone of amplification
• Available DM NVX audio streams to route audio from video sources to non-video zones
• Available music streaming services on up to eight DM NAX zones

This application diagram shows different 2.1 configurations and how they affect the zone count of an DM-NAX-8ZSA. By default, a zone comprises two speaker outputs (a left and a right).
- The 2.1 configuration at the left of the diagram comprises two speaker outputs, with an additional line output that feeds the subwoofer.
NOTE: This configuration is only applicable for zones with an available line output (1 through 4).
- The middle configuration (2.1 bridged sub) comprises four speaker outputs - two left and right and two for the bridged sub.
NOTE: This configuration is only applicable when enough subsequently numbered zones are available on the amplifier. For example, the 2.1 bridged sub cannot be used on zone 8 as there is no speaker output pair 9.
- The right configuration (bridged 2.1) comprises six speaker outputs - two for the bridged left, two for the bridged right, and two for the bridged sub.
NOTE: This configuration is only applicable when enough subsequently numbered zones are available on the amplifier. For example, the 2.1 bridged sub cannot be used on zone 7 or 8 as there is no speaker output pair 9 or 10.
Having higher output-count zone configurations on a single DM-NAX-8ZSA will affect the total available zone count on a given box. For example, if you have a single bridged 2.1 configuration on an DM-NAX-8ZSA, it will lower the maximum zone count to six, as the bridged 2.1 consumes three zones worth of speaker outputs on its own.

This application diagram shows the following setup:
- Mirrored zones (Zone 1 and Zone 2 each have two rooms receiving the same audio signal)
- Parallel wiring of low impedance speakers in two Locker Room areas
NOTE: This is a parallel wiring of 8 Ω speakers for a total supported load of 4 Ω per channel. Parallel wiring lowers the effective impedance of the connected loads, so make sure the speakers impedance matches the supported impedance levels from the DM-NAX-8ZSA.
- Using the line outputs of the DM-NAX-8ZSA to feed high-impedance amplifiers (AMP-X300s and AMP-4600) for long speaker runs
- Bussing to multiple zones to feed a large group of low-impedance speakers with the same signal and shared controls

NOTE: When the Line Out EQ Bypass setting is disabled, the line-level output's level will mirror the speaker output's Zone volume control. This allows for a variable signal level in applications where the line-level output is connected to an uncontrolled device such as powered speakers. If the Line Out EQ Bypass setting is enabled, the Line Out Volume slider can be used to set a fixed level for the line-level output. This level will not be affected by the speaker output Zone volume controls, so this configuration is better suited to applications where the line output is connected to a controlled amplifier with its own level adjustment.
Signal Generator

The DM-NAX-8ZSA has a built-in signal generator that allows an integrator to send an audio signal to any number of selected zones to test output functionality.
- To route the signal generator to the zone output, click the Signal Generator button so that it displays Active and is highlighted in blue. To unroute the signal generator on the zone output, click the Signal Generator button so that it displays Inactive and is highlighted in grey. By default, the signal generator is not routed to the zone output.
NOTES:
- There is only one signal generator built-in to the DM NAX device. Each zone has its own button to enable or disable the signal generator from passing signal to that output. Setting the signal generator to Inactive on a given zone output only breaks the route for that output and does not stop it from playing back in other zones.
-
The Signal Generator Volume control is a local control that does not affect the signal generator's volume on other zone outputs. Only the settings under Advanced Signal Generator are applied universally to all zones of the DM NAX device.
-
To adjust the signal generator's volume, do one of the following:

Each band can have a discrete ga filter type, center frequency, and bandwidth set, and can also be bypassed. The equalizer itself can also be bypassed using the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle.
- Set the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle to the right position to enable the equalizer. Set the toggle to the left position to bypass the equalizer.
NOTE: When Speaker EQ Enabled is disabled, all equalizer bands are bypassed. This is a quick way to perform A/B testing of the entire EQ curve.
- With the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle in the right position, do the following to configure a given equalizer band:
a. To set a band's gain, do one of the following:
- Move the Gain slider up to increase or down to decrease the gain.
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the gain. Values range from -40 dB to 20 dB, adjustable in increments of 0.1 dB.
- Manually enter a value in the Gain field.
b. Select a filter type from the Type drop-down menu. By default, all bands are set to the EQ filter type. Some filter types will disable other settings in their respective band while enabled. For example, selecting the LowPass filter type for a band will disable that band's Gain and Bandwidth settings, since the LowPass filter applies a fixed roll-off slope at a set frequency. The available filter types are:
- EQ: a fully parametric filter that can boost or cut a range of frequencies.
- Notch: a parametric filter designed to more precisely cut a frequency or range of frequencies. A notch filter can achieve a narrower bandwidth than the standard EQ parametric filter type.
- TrebleShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies above a set frequency by a set gain.
- BassShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies below a set frequency by a set gain.
- LowPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies above a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
- HighPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies below a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
c. Set a center frequency for the equalizer band to tune a specific portion of the audible frequency spectrum. To set the center frequency, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the frequency. Values range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, adjustable in increments of 1 Hz. Each band has a default center frequency that will be applied if the Reset button at the bottom of the band is clicked.
- Manually enter a value in the Frequency field.
d. Set a bandwidth to determine how wide of a frequency range is effected by the equalizer band. To set the bandwidth, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the bandwidth. Values range from 0.1 octaves to 4.0 octaves, adjustable in increments of 0.1 octave.
- Manually enter a value in the Bandwidth field.
e. The individual Bypass controls allow you to bypass a single band of equalization at a time for more granular A/B testing of a single filter. Set a band's Bypass toggle to the right position to bypass that band. Set the toggle to the left position to disable the bypass. By default, Bypass is disabled.
f. Each equalizer band has a Reset button that will reapply the default settings for that band.
Click Done to return to the Settings tab of the web user interface.
Bussing
The bussing feature on DM NAX devices allows an integrator to assign any number of selected zones to a fixed group of zones (bus). Zones in a bus track the other zones' volume and routing. For example, when the source or volume for one zone in the bus is adjusted, all other zones in that bus receive the same adjustment. You can create up to four buses on the DM-NAX-8ZSA.

Configure Bussing
- If needed, enter a friendly name for each bus in its Name field.

Signal

The Signal section is a read-only field that displays the Signal and Clipping status of the zone output.
- If an output signal is present but not clipping, Signal will display Present in green and Clipping will display None in green.
- If an output signal is present and clipping, Signal will display Present in green and Clipping will display Present in red.
- If no output signal is detected, Signal will display Not Present in red and Clipping will display None in green.
Bussing Volume Offset

Bussing Volume Offset is an additional level compensation applied to the zone relative to any other zones it is grouped with via the Bussing feature.
To set the bussing volume offset, do one of the following:
- Move the Bussing Volume Offset slider to the right to increase or to the left to decrease the offset.
- Click the db arrows to increase or decrease the offset. Values range from -12 dB to 12 dB, adjustable in increments of 1 dB.
- Manually enter a value in the Bussing Volume Offset field.
Speaker Configuration

-
Set the Enable Speaker Protect toggle to the right position to enable speaker protection for the zone output. Set the toggle to the left position to disable speaker protection. By default, Enable Speaker Protect is set to the left position.
-
To set the maximum output wattage, do one of the following:
-
Move the Speaker Wattage slider to the right to increase or to the left to decrease the maximum peak amplifier wattage that can be output to the speaker.
- Click the Watts arrows to increase or decrease the maximum peak amplifier wattage that can be output to the speaker. Values range from 5 W to 150 W, adjustable in increments of 1 W.
-
Manually enter a value in the Speaker Wattage field.
-
Select the impedance of the speaker on a selected zone from the Impedance drop-down menu. Values are 4 Ohms, 8 Ohms, and Bridged.
Speaker/Faults

The Speaker/Faults section is a read-only field that displays the status of the DC Offset Fault, Over Current Fault, Clipping Detected, Over or Under Voltage, and Over Temperature detectors for the zone output. If clipping or a given fault type is detected, then its corresponding readout displays Fault Detected in red. Otherwise, it displays None in blue.
Line Out

Line Out Volume controls the volume level of the corresponding line-level output on the DM NAX device. The Line Out Volume is only applied when Line Out EQ Bypass is enabled.
-
To set the line out volume, do one of the following:
-
Move the Line Out Volume slider to the right to increase or to the left to decrease the line out volume.
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the line out volume. Values range from 0 to 100, adjustable in increments of 1. This range in dB is -80 dB to 20 dB.
-
Manually enter a value in the Line Out Volume field.
-
Set the Line Out EQ Bypass toggle to the right position to have the line-level output signal bypass the zone's equalizer settings. Set the toggle to the left position to have the line-level output signal pass through the zone's equalizer. By default, Line Out EQ Bypass is disabled.
NOTE: When the Line Out EQ Bypass setting is disabled, the line-level output's level will mirror the speaker output's Zone volume control. This allows for a variable signal level in applications where the line-level output is connected to an uncontrolled device such as powered speakers. If the Line Out EQ Bypass setting is enabled, the Line Out Volume slider can be used to set a fixed level for the line-level output. This level will not be affected by the speaker output Zone volume controls, making this configuration better suited to applications where the line output is connected to a controlled amplifier with its own level adjustment.
Signal Generator

The DM-NAX-AMP-X300 has a built-in signal generator that allows an integrator to send an audio signal to any number of selected zones to test output functionality.
- To route the signal generator to the zone output, click the Signal Generator button so that it displays Active and is highlighted in blue. To unroute the signal generator on the zone output, click the Signal Generator button so that it displays Inactive and is highlighted in grey. By default, the signal generator is not routed to the zone output.
NOTES:
- There is only one signal generator built-in to the DM NAX device. Each zone has its own button to enable or disable the signal generator from passing signal to that output. Setting the signal generator to Inactive on a given zone output only breaks the route for that output and does not stop it from playing back in other zones.
-
The Signal Generator Volume control is a local control that does not affect the signal generator's volume on other zone outputs. Only the settings under Advanced Signal Generator are applied universally to all zones of the DM NAX device.
-
To adjust the signal generator's volume, do one of the following:
- Move the Sianal Generator Volume slider right to increase or left to decrease the volume.
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the signal generator volume. Values range from 0 to 100, adjustable in increments of 1.

-
Set the Left Channel toggle to the right position to enable the left channel of the signal. Set the toggle to the left position to disable the left channel. By default, Left Channel is enabled.
-
Set the Right Channel toggle to the right position to enable the right channel of the signal. Set the toggle to the left position to disable the right channel. By default, Right Channel is enabled.
-
Select an audio test signal type from the Signal Type drop-down menu. The available signal types are:
-
Tone: Generates a 1 kHz sine wave tone.
- Pink Noise: Generates pink noise.
- White Noise: Generates white noise.
Equalizer Settings

Each zone output of the DM-NAX-AMP-X300 has a dedicated ten-band equalizer that can be fully customized to tune the zone output signal to the needs of an install. Each band can have a discrete ga filter type, center frequency, and bandwidth set, and can also be bypassed. The equalizer itself can also be bypassed using the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle.
- Set the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle to the right position to enable the equalizer. Set the toggle to the left position to bypass the equalizer.
NOTE: When Speaker EQ Enabled is disabled, all equalizer bands are bypassed. This is a quick way to perform A/B testing of the entire EQ curve.
- With the Speaker EQ Enabled toggle in the right position, do the following to configure a given equalizer band:
a. To set a band's gain, do one of the following:
- Move the Gain slider up to increase or down to decrease the gain.
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the gain. Values range from -40 dB to 20 dB, adjustable in increments of 0.1 dB.
- Manually enter a value in the Gain field.
b. Select a filter type from the Type drop-down menu. By default, all bands are set to the EQ filter type. Some filter types will disable other settings in their respective band while enabled. For example, selecting the LowPass filter type for a band will disable that band's Gain and Bandwidth settings, since the LowPass filter applies a fixed roll-off slope at a set frequency. The available filter types are:
- EQ: a fully parametric filter that can boost or cut a range of frequencies.
- Notch: a parametric filter designed to more precisely cut a frequency or range of frequencies. A notch filter can achieve a narrower bandwidth than the standard EQ parametric filter type.
- TrebleShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies above a set frequency by a set gain.
- BassShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies below a set frequency by a set gain.
- LowPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies above a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
- HighPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies below a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
c. Set a center frequency for the equalizer band to tune a specific portion of the audible frequency spectrum. To set the center frequency, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the frequency. Values range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, adjustable in increments of 1 Hz. Each band has a default center frequency that will be applied if the Reset button at the bottom of the band is clicked.
- Manually enter a value in the Frequency field.
d. Set a bandwidth to determine how wide of a frequency range is effected by the equalizer band. To set the bandwidth, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the bandwidth. Values range from 0.1 octaves to 4.0 octaves, adjustable in increments of 0.1 octave.
- Manually enter a value in the Bandwidth field.
e. The individual Bypass controls allow you to bypass a single band of equalization at a time for more granular A/B testing of a single filter. Set a band's Bypass toggle to the right position to bypass that band. Set the toggle to the left position to disable the bypass. By default, Bypass is disabled.
f. Each equalizer band has a Reset button that will reapply the default settings for that band.
Click Done to return to the Settings tab of the web user interface.
Bussing

The bussing feature on DM NAX devices allows an integrator to assign any number of selected zones to a fixed group of zones (bus). Zones in a bus track the other zones' volume and routing. For example,
when the source or volume for one zone in the bus is adjusted, all other zones in that bus receive the same adjustment. You can create a single output bus on the DM-NAX-AMP-X300.
Configure Bussing
- If needed, enter a friendly name for each bus in its Name field.
- Select any number of zones from the Included Zones drop-down menu.
Inputs
The Inputs section is used to configure the Name, Compensation, and Mute attributes of the available analog, digital, and media streaming inputs on the DM-NAX-AMP-X300.

Monitor the device's input signals using the indicators in the Signal Present and Clipping Detected rows:
• Signal Presence indicates whether or not a signal is detected in that zone.
- Clipping Detected indicates if the signal is Clipping or Nominal (non-clipping).
NAX Streams
Each local input of the DM-NAX-AMP-X300 can be made available as a DM NAX audio-over-IP stream.
The DM-NAX-AMP-X300 also supports parallel DM NAX streams for each zone output, enabling an additional transmit stream per output to mirror all routes and DSP settings of its respective zone. These parallel streams enable control of the audio signal to third-party uncontrolled AES67 devices receiving audio from the DM-NAX-AMP-X300.
NOTES:
- Under the Transmitters section (see Configure Transmitters), the last two listed transmitters are dedicated to parallel zone outputs.
• To configure the DSP settings, see Zone Settings.
Click NAX Streams to display the following information.

- Device is Master PTP Clock Source indicates whether the device is the master for PTP on the network. Yes will be displayed in green when the local DM-NAX-AMP-X300 is the PTP clock master and No will be displayed in red when another PTP clock on the network is operating as the master clock.
- Master Clock Status displays the Master Clock ID of the device on the network that acts as the Master Clock.
- PTP Priority: This sets the priority of the local DM NAX device's PTP clock relative to other clocks on the network. The default setting is 254 (one increment higher than the lowest possible value) so that the DM-NAX-AMP-X300 will only operate as clock master if no other PTP master is present on the network. Valid values range from 1 to 255.
Configure Transmitters

To configure a DM NAX transmit stream, do the following.
- Enter a valid multicast address in the NAX Stream Address field.

For example, selecting the LowPass filter type for a band will disable that band's Gain and Bandwidth settings, since the LowPass filter applies a fixed roll-off slope at a set frequency. The available filter types are:
- EQ: a fully parametric filter that can boost or cut a range of frequencies.
- Notch: a parametric filter designed to more precisely cut a frequency or range of frequencies. A notch filter can achieve a narrower bandwidth than the standard EQ parametric filter type.
- TrebleShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies above a set frequency by a set gain.
- BassShelf: a filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies below a set frequency by a set gain.
- LowPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies above a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
- HighPass: a filter that fully cuts all frequencies below a set frequency using a fixed roll-off slope of -12 dB per octave.
c. Set a center frequency for the equalizer band to tune a specific portion of the audible frequency spectrum. To set the center frequency, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the frequency. Values range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, adjustable in increments of 1 Hz. Each band has a default center frequency that will be applied if the Reset button at the bottom of the band is clicked.
- Manually enter a value in the Frequency field.
d. Set a bandwidth to determine how wide of a frequency range is effected by the equalizer band. To set the bandwidth, do one of the following:
- Click the arrows to increase or decrease the bandwidth. Values range from 0.1 octaves to 4.0 octaves, adjustable in increments of 0.1 octave.
- Manually enter a value in the Bandwidth field.
e. The individual Bypass controls allow you to bypass a single band of equalization at a time for more granular A/B testing of a single filter.
