DM NAX™ Audio-over-IP Network Encoder with 16 Stereo Inputs
The Crestron® DM‑NAX‑16AIN is a next generation Audio-over-IP (AoIP) input device, putting local sources on the Crestron multiroom distributed audio network.
The Crestron DM-NAX-16AIN is an Audio-over-IP (AoIP) encoder that provides 16 local stereo audio inputs to a DM NAX Crestron multiroom audio distribution network. It provides 8 digital inputs comprised of 4 SPDIF TOSLINK® connectors and 4 SPDIF coaxial connectors. Each digital input supports 2-channel PCM audio. The DM-NAX-16AIN also provides 8 analog stereo inputs. Inputs 1-4 offer balanced 5‑pin terminal block connectors in parallel with unbalanced RCA connectors, and inputs 5-8 offer RCA connectors.
DM NAX™ is built on AES67 standards with additional ease of configuration via a web interface, SIMPL Windows, C#, and/or a RESTful API. It is compatible with DM-NVX® through the AES67 secondary audio stream and also with third-party AES67 solutions and Dante® via the compatibility mode enabled through Dante Controller.
Audio-over-IP
DM NAX takes audio distribution to a whole new level by putting it onto the network, and the scale of DM NAX far exceeds the capabilities of previous generations of Crestron distributed audio. DM NAX units integrate with DM NVX devices to pull audio from video feeds for rooms without displays.
The two RJ-45 ports on the rear panel, labeled as 1 and 2, can be configured to either share network traffic (to support a courtesy port application) or to isolate control and AoIP traffic between the two ports.

| Controls and Indicators |
| PWR |
(1) LED. Amber indicates that the device is booting. White indicates that the device is switched on with audio passing. Red indicates that the device is in standby mode. Off indicates that there is no power from the power supply. |
| LAN |
(1) LED. White indicates that the device is switched on and has a valid IP address. Off indicates that the device is not connected to a network or the IP address is invalid. |
| NAX |
(1) LED. White indicates that any audio-over-IP traffic is passing in or out of the DM NAX unit (if any audio-over-IP streams are transmitting out of, or being received by the unit, then the NAX LED will illuminate white). Off indicates that no audioover- IP traffic is passing in or out of the DM NAX unit. |
| SOURCE 1-16 |
(16) LEDs. White indicates signal presence on the specified input/source. Red indicates there is a clipping on an analog input or a bitstream issue on a digital input. Off indicates that there is no signal detected on the specified input/source. |
| SETUP |
(1) LED. Blinking red indicates that a network reset or factory restore has been initiated via the adjacent SETUP button. |
