The Extron AXI 016 is a half rack width, 16 output audio expansion interface for DMP Plus Series audio DSP systems. The AXI 016 connects to EXP expansion port of the DMP Plus Series, adding 16 outputs to the matrix. Since all of the high performance, low-latency DSP occurs within the attached DMP Plus model, no separate configuration is needed for the AXI 016. The AXI 016 audio expansion interface also supports audio DSP systems that integrate a DTP CrossPoint^® matrix switcher.

Offering 16 analog outputs, in a compact 1U, half-rack width enclosure, the AXI 016 provides a powerful tool for AV system designers to create DMP Plus systems that support larger distributed audio applications that were previously not possible using a single DMP Plus Series DSP processor.

Expanded Routing Across a Single ProDSP Processor

The DMP EXP expansion port allows the AXI 016 to be linked together with a DMP Plus Series unit via a single shielded CAT 6 cable. This expands the matrix output by 16 channels, allowing larger distributed audio applications to be configured with less hardware. Designers can create flexible, advanced output signal management scenarios expanding the capabilities of a single DMP Plus Series processor. The DMP EXP expansion port on Extron DTP CrossPoint^® matrix switchers allows an integrator to greatly expand the number of available audio outputs for a new or existing DTP System.

Flexible Routing Within the DMP Plus Series

The DMP Plus Series features an extensive mix matrix allowing all outputs, including the 16 expansion bus outputs used by the AXI 016, to be discretely sourced and routed from any input. When used with a DMP Plus Series AT model, Dante audio sources can also be processed and routed to the outputs of the AXI 016.

Easy-to-Use DSP Configurator Software

The power of ProDSP is easily harnessed with the DSP Configurator Software. The flexible on‑screen layout offers fast access to all of the digital audio signal processing tools. Designers can quickly get a snapshot view of the entire audio system, including processing blocks and routing assignments, all at once.

Features

• Adds 16 channels of line level analog output to a DMP Plus Series system — Provides a cost effective approach to enable larger, more powerful systems to be run from a single DMP Plus Series connected to the Primary Device EXP port
• Analog output expansion of a DTP based system — A DTP CrossPoint connects to the Secondary Device EXP port on the AXI 016
• Supports DSP systems that integrate a DMP Plus Series and a DTP CrossPoint — The DTP CrossPoint EXP port can connect to a DMP processor via the THRU port on the AXI 016 to function as an integrated system.
• Front panel signal, clip, and port LEDs — The AXI 016 provides LED's on the front panel for each output and port, for real-time monitoring of signal presence and port activity. A separate LED for each output illuminates as a warning whenever signal clipping is detected.
• High signal density - 16 analog outputs in a compact 1U, half rack width enclosure
• External Extron Everlast™ power supply included, replacement part #70-1174-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility with high‑demonstrated reliability and low power consumption. This power supply is compatible with the ZipClip 100 and ZipClip 200 Mounting Kits.
• Extron Everlast Power Supply is covered by a 7‑year parts and labor warranty
