KLARKTEKNIK DM8500-UL Networked Digital Audio Processor for Installation Applications with Configurable DSP, Audio Networking, and Acoustic Echo Cancellation

DM8500

In today's installed audio environments, a versatile digital audio processor is crucial, offering user-friendly features like customizable DSP, various routing options, multiple inputs/outputs, and integrated audio networking. Tailored for corporate spaces, hospitality venues, and beyond, the DM8500 offers 128 channels of Dante digital audio networking, ensuring seamless compatibility with diverse equipment. This highly adaptable system effortlessly interfaces with computer-based conferencing setups through embedded USB, while its built-in Ethernet and RS232 ports enable external device control and monitoring. At the core of the DM8500 lies an advanced digital audio processor, equipped to handle even the most complex applications. Embracing an open architecture design, integrators can easily configure the DM8500 to suit specific client needs, crafting expandable systems that remain adaptable for the future.

DSP

The DM8500 DSP boasts an extensive library of processing modules accessible and configurable via the DM Designer software. This intuitive software empowers users to define and compile the entire signal and processing structure directly on their PC, later implemented within the DM8500's robust onboard DSP. Featured processing modules encompass a spectrum of functionalities: dual redundant Dante/AES 67 compatible 64x64 network audio transport; ULTRANET 16 channel digital audio transport output for compatible devices; 24 freely assignable wideband AEC processors; class-compliant driverless USB audio In and Out; 16GB SSD media record and replay engine; Mixers; Auto Mixer; Equalizers; Feedback Suppression; an array of audio filters, and more. The DM8500 delivers a comprehensive audio toolkit, enabling the creation of tailored configurations ideal for any application.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation

Office spaces, boardrooms, and conference centers are frequently built with minimal regard for acoustics, featuring surfaces like glass, painted walls, steel, and stone. These hard surfaces often trigger reverberation and echoes, compromising the quality of teleconferencing experiences. Leveraging its wide band AEC module, the DM8500 adeptly identifies and eradicates secondary room reflections from the signal path. This ensures that all participants can relish top-notch sound quality, regardless of the content being conveyed, be it speech, music, or multimedia.
