Add digital signal processing audio managing, routing, processing, and control to your studio with this 8x8 Audio Digital Sound Processor with Dante from Alfatron. A vast array of technical features helps to simulate the work of an audio engineer with advanced processing modules that include acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, and auto mixing. The unit supports Dante and features eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs as well as eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs.

High-definition audio sampling and processing, with analog to digital and digital to analog conversion, is available on the input and output of the DSP, boasting a 48 kHz sampling rate and a bit rate of 24 bits. The unit also offers a dynamic range of 110 dB and a maximum level of +24 dBu. Expanders, compressors, AGC (acoustic gain compensation), parametric EQ, feedback suppression, gate, ambient noise compensation, graphic EQ, and delay are among the integrated input and output processing modules, with DSP-based audio management achieved via a connected computer running the GUI software for the DSP hardware models.

DSP configuration and control is facilitated by the Alfatron DSP Controller software, which is a Windows-based application that offers parameter adjustment and peripheral accessory settings of all modules, including RS-232, RS-485, and IP control with user-friendly click-and-drag panel configuration. Free iOS and Android apps are also available for downloading.

[Intel Core i5] Easily added a pair of inputs to a largely software based Dante setup. Simple, straightforward, and thusfar flawless addition. 5

[3 ms] I've been using a Dante rig (Presonus RM32ai rack mixer, and a Soundcraft Expressions 2 mixing desk) for about 6 years and these little adapters make digital audio network expansion a plug-n-play breeze. I plan to carry at least one of each in my on-location bag...money well spent! 5

Jeremy	29/08/2024
[Intel Core i5] I was looking for an upgrade for my built-in webcam (HP laptop about 5 years old), but I wanted something with a wider viewing angle and better image quality. This unit was plug and play (it uses a standard USB connection on the computer side and a Type C connector on the camera side). I liked the fact that the cable was not simply attached to the camera since I could replace the cable in the future if necessary. The CAM-200 showed up in Zoom as a camera option immediately (I had to close out of Zoom and re-open it, but that's it) and I did not need to download any drivers...It just worked. As far as image quality, it was a big upgrade from my built-in camera, much clearer, with better color rendering, and the field of view was much wider. It also reacted much better to strong light sources coming from behind me (my built-in cam would often wash out when sunlight was coming in from a window directly behind me). The clip mount is just OK, it certainly works fine, but it takes a little adjusting. The unit also has a threaded shoe mount on the bottom which is handy if you want to mount it on a small tripod. Packaging was nice and B&H kept updating me on the order as this was initially back ordered. All in all, very happy with the product/purchase experience. 5

[3 ms] Perfect for adding one AES device at 96k to your Dante Network. I bought 2 of these, one for each of my Bricasti Reverb units so I could put them on my Dante network. Worked flawlessly. 5
