OVERVIEW

The DASR-288 is a digital audio transport system utilizing Audinate’s Dante™ network audio solution.
The DASR-288 connects to your network with a single Ethernet cable. It is a Dante Break Out / ecoder
interface in a 2RU form factor designed for all types of commercial AV installations. It offers eight channels
of line-level analogue in and 8 line-level analogue outputs. Precision 24-bit A-D and D-A converters are
used for superb audio performance with a 119dB dynamic range at sample rates up to 192kHz. This product
is used as the audio matrix, each having eight inputs, where you can send uncompressed audio with low
latency using standard TCP/ IP Ethernet network. It’s remotely controlled via the network and can be placed
anywhere in a facility. Unique to the DASR-288 is its Data tunneling. No other manufacturer offers this feature,
which allows you to transport with the Digital audio, 8 contact closures in and 8 contact closures out together
combined with either RS-232C serial data.

Each of the 8 balanced analog inputs and 8 outputs may be assigned to any Dante flow in the system, either
by means of the Audinate’s Dante Controller Windows or OSX application or Inter-M’s own S-Connect
Windows Software. The S-Connect allows for system configuration as well as easy channel switching.
The S-Connect Software is designed to operate by simple touch screen.

Dual redundant Gigabit Dante Network connections are available. Both primary and secondary connections
support full Gigabyte ports for full redundancy.

Signal Monitoring is available for all 8 inputs and 8 outputs with a front panel mounded dual LEDs, indicating
signal presence and clipping. Network status LEDs also monitor network connectivity and transition speed.

Web-Browser Configuration

Economical and Versatile

Distributing Digital Network audio over a Large Local Area Network is simple and economical.
One cable does it all. Dante can easily be integrated to existing building network infrastructures
illuminating the requirements to run heavy, expensive analog or multicore cabling, replacing them
with low-cost, easily-available CAT5e, CAT6, or fiber optic cable for a simple, lightweight, and
economical solution. Dante integrates media and control for your entire system over a single,
standard IP network.

NETWORK AUDIO

The DASR-288 can easily be configured using the
built-in Web-browser interface. Once connected
to the network, the front mounted OLED screen will
display the device’s IP address. Use this IP address
to login to the Web-Browser interface to setup the
DASR-288’s operation parameters.

DASR-288 and Dante systems can easily be scaled from a simple pairing of a console to a
computer, to large capacity networks running thousands of audio channels. Because Dante uses
logical routes instead of physical point-to-point connections, the network can be expanded and
reconfigured at any time with just a few mouse clicks.

Since audio is transmitted digitally, audio transmitted
with the DASR-288 using Dante Network audio is not
affected from common analogue challenges such as
interference from other electrical equipment, crosstalk
between cables, or signal degradation over long
cable runs.

APPLICATION

Applications include campus wide paging or messaging, background music, audio distribution for airports,
railway stations, ground transportation, and anywhere audio required to be transported easily over long
distances.

•Theaters applications where multiple I/Os are required in different areas. The DASR-288 makes a great
input and output breakout box and can act as a digital snake.

•Stadium applications, where large numbers of separate amplifier channels are required to drive multi-driver
speaker clusters distributed over large distances.

•Hotels, Seminar rooms, Convention centers or other facilities with multiple rooms that require separate or
combined audio feeds to 70V/100V amplifiers

•House of worship applications to deliver multiple channels of audio from other Dante equipped devices
such as mixing consoles (e.g. Yamaha, Allen-Heath) to the platform or side fill areas.
