The Extron AXI 22 AT D Plus is a single-gang decorator-style Dante® audio interface for integrating two mic/line sources onto a Dante-enabled audio system. It features two XLR audio inputs and switchable 48 volt phantom power for connecting and powering condenser microphones, and remote control via the network. The AXI 22 AT D Plus also features two line outputs for routing any two Dante channels from the network to the analog input of a destination device, or connecting into an optional secondary wallplate with two XLR outputs. The AXI 22 AT D Plus interfaces with any Dante-equipped audio processor, such as an Extron DMP 128 Plus AT, over a standard local area network, and can be powered through PoE. This allows a single network cable connection for bidirectional audio, control, and power from a central equipment rack.
Easily Provide Remote Connectivity into Audio Systems
The AXI 22 AT D Plus accepts two analog mic/line sources, and digitizes them at 24-bit for output via Dante. It is connected into a Dante network over Ethernet using standard IP networking protocols. This avoids the effort and expense of pulling long analog mic/line cables from an audio processor to each wall, floor box, or furniture location. Audio system designers can easily design an audio system with AXI 22 AT D Plus wallplate interfaces throughout a large facility, each connecting back into a central equipment location over a standard network infrastructure.
For additional integration convenience, AXI 22 AT D Plus wallplate interfaces can be remotely powered through Power over Ethernet - PoE, using an Extron PI 115 power injector or network switches equipped with PoE. Input gain, output attenuation, and phantom power settings are controlled from a DMP Plus Series processor on the Dante network or IPCP Pro xi Series control processor.
The AXI 22 AT D Plus can accept any two audio channels from the Dante network and deliver them through its two line outputs on the back. These outputs can be connected into an amplifier, or an optional, single-gang Extron decorator-style wallplate with two XLR audio outputs. The XLR outputs are ideal for recording, or an ALS - assistive listening system.
Dante Audio Networking
Dante enables audio system scalability over a local area network using standard Internet protocols. The family of Dante-enabled products from Extron work together as part of a complete networked audio system solution and integrates with other Dante-enabled products to create efficient, scalable system designs. They accommodate a range of audio routing needs in a variety of applications.
Setting up a network of Extron Dante-enabled products, including the AXI 22 AT D Plus wallplates, requires Dante Controller software. Dante Controller is used to easily assign an output from an AXI 22 AT D Plus to an input on a Dante-equipped device, such as the Extron DMP 128 Plus AT. Similarly, an output from a Dante-equipped device can be assigned to appear at one of the line level outputs on an AXI 22 AT D Plus.
Features
- Two mic/line inputs on XLR connectors insert audio onto a Dante® network — Each input includes selectable 48 volt phantom power
- Two line outputs on a rear panel captive screw connector extract audio from a Dante network — Two line outputs are located on the back, and can be used for routing any two audio channels from the Dante network to an amplifier, or connecting to an optional secondary Extron wallplate with two XLR outputs. The XLR outputs are ideal for recording, or an ALS - assistive listening system.
- Dante audio networking provides a wide range of expansion capabilities — Dante-equipped audio products, including the AXI 22 AT D Plus, provide scalability for creating larger audio systems over a local area network using standard Internet protocols.
- Controllable via the Dante network —
- Network monitoring and control of gain and mute
- Control the AXI through a DMP Plus Series processor over a Dante network
- Via an IPCP Pro xi Series control processors with GCP drivers and DanteInterface Class in ControlScript, connected to a Dante network.
- Studio grade 24-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters selectable up to 96 kHz — Professional converters fully preserve the integrity of the original audio signal, with selectable sampling rates via Dante Controller.
- Compatible with Extron WPD 100 Series wallplates — WPD 100 Series Decorator-Style wallplates can be connected to the line outputs of the AXI 22 AT D Plus, to provide a two‑gang wall installation.
- Dante Domain Manager and AES67 Support
- XLR audio inputs for direct microphone connection
- Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply optional, part #70-1175-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility with high reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs. Includes a ZipClip 50 Mounting Kit to securely mount an Extron power supply onto most surfaces, including tables and lecterns.
- Power over Ethernet allows the AXI 22 AT D Plus to receive power over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply
- Mounts in an included single-gang Decorator-Style wallplate
- Includes black and white faceplates
