Denon Professional DN-508MX, 8-Zone Mixer with RS-232c and IP Control

Denon Professional DN-508MX, 8-Zone Mixer with RS-232c and IP Control

The Denon Professional DN-508MX Zone Mixers are refreshingly uncomplicated, featuring its high-performance solutions for controlling and routing up to eight audio sources in multi-room venues. The best thing in Denon Professional DN-508MX is they gave a special attention to the design of the front panel interface to make them intuitive and very easy and simple to operate, which makes the "learning curve" on these products very short.

A typical applications include restaurants, hotels, museums, nightclubs, sports bars and large corporate offices. So both mixers have a remote control via RS-232C and IP for the commercial installations. The Denon Professional DN-508MX also have several features dedicated for professional use such as a professional grade head-amp, MIC/LINE PAD, full BTL balanced outputs, 3-band EQ for inputs, 5-band EQ for outputs, Priority, Delay, Dynamics, system control application (Web remote) and scheduling function to operate automatically for optimum energy efficiency.

A Web-based GUI makes it simple to control every function of the unit, from whatever device is most convenient for the user.
