DESCRIPTION
The Extron AXI 22 AT D is a single-gang Decora®-style 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, plus gain controls for each input. The AXI 22 AT D also features two line outputs on the back for routing any two Dante channels from the network to an amplifier, or connecting into an optional secondary wallplate with two XLR outputs or RCA outputs. The AXI 22 AT D interfaces with any Dante-equipped audio processor, such as an Extron DMP 128 AT, over a standard local area network, and can be powered through PoE. This allows a single network cable connection for bidirectional audio and power from a central equipment rack.Easily Provide Remote Connectivity into Audio Systems
The AXI 22 AT D 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 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 wallplate interfaces can be remotely powered through Power over Ethernet - PoE, using Extron XTP PI 100 and XTP PI 400 power injectors, network switches equipped with PoE, or midspan PoE injectors.
The AXI 22 AT D 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 Decora-style wallplate with two XLR audio outputs or two RCA 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 integrate 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 wallplates, requires Dante Controller software. Dante Controller is used to easily assign an output from an AXI 22 AT D to an input on a Dante-equipped device, such as the Extron DMP 128 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.
Features
* Inputs: two balanced mic/line level on 3-pin XLR connectors
* Outputs: two balanced or unbalanced line level on a 3.5 mm, 6-pole captive screw connector
* Two mic/line inputs on XLR connectors for transmitting audio to a Dante™ network — Each input includes selectable 48 volt phantom power and a rotary, detented gain control.
* Two line outputs on a rear panel captive screw connector receive 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 into an optional secondary Extron wallplate with two XLR or RCA 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, provide scalability for creating larger audio systems over a local area network using standard Internet protocols.
* 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.
* Input gain and phantom power controls located behind cover plate — A removable cover plate on the front panel conceals all controls to prevent tampering.
* XLR audio inputs for direct microphone connection
* Optional Extron WPD 102 XLRM and WPD 102 RCA secondary wallplates with two XLR or RCA outputs — Extron WPD 102 XLRM and WPD 102 RCA Decora-style wallplates can be connected to the line outputs of the AXI 22 AT D, to provide a two‑gang wall installation with XLR audio inputs and XLR or RCA outputs.
* Power over Ethernet allows the AXI 22 AT D to receive power over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply
* Mounts in an included single-gang Decora®-style wallplate — The single‑gang Decora‑style wallplate is available in black or white to blend with a wide range of environments.
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply optional, replacement part #70-775-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.
