The DM256 is a compact and professional unit, redefining format conversion in recording studios, live sound venues, and broadcast/post-production suites. Unleashing Unparalleled Power The StarNet DM256 showcases its prowess by effortlessly converting up to 256 channels of Dante, Rx to 256 channels of MADI Tx and vice versa. With the integration of Dante IP core technology, this powerhouse enables an expansive I/O count through a single ethernet connection, setting a new benchmark in audio technology. A Digital Symphony of Features Boasting one of the largest digital I/O counts on the market, the StarNet DM256 accommodates 256 channels of MADI inputs and outputs across four MADI ports. These ports feature duplex MADI SC optical connections and dual-BNC coaxial connections, meeting and exceeding professional MADI standards outlined by the Audio Engineering Society. Precision in Every Beat The StarNet DM256 incorporates a modern, low-drift crystal oscillator clocking system and PLL, positioning itself as the ultimate master clock in any professional studio environment. Dante connections are facilitated through dual ethernet ports, offering redundancy for network failure resilience or daisy-chaining capabilities in switched mode. Masterful Control and Monitoring Equipped with a Maximum Channel Mapping (MCM) feature, the DM256 ensures seamless multiplexing of MADI I/O assignments per port, maintaining session integrity during sample rate switches. The unit's front-mounted OLED screen provides at-a-glance access to crucial network settings, sample rate, bit depth, and more. Elevated Longevity Crafted with an external PSU design, the StarNet DM256 efficiently dissipates heat, safeguarding internal components for an extended lifespan. This design consideration underscores Neve's commitment to delivering robust and reliable audio solutions.
