NTP Technology / Digital Audio Denmark press invitation – IBC Amsterdam, September 13th-16th 2024

NTP Technology / Digital Audio Denmark press invitation  IBC Amsterdam, September 13th-16th 2024

DAD - Digital Audio Denmark (digitalaudio.dk), a brand owned by NTP Technology (ntp.dk), is renowned worldwide for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog audio converters delivering outstanding sonic performance.

AD/DA audio conversion is carved deeply into our DNA. Like a pristine microphone capturing your source in great detail, our pristine converters will make a huge difference. Another vital link in the signal chain is the preamp stage.

Our microphone preamps are widely appreciated as being among the most transparent you can get. If you love the ‘colour’ of tubes then look elsewhere. If capturing exactly what you hear is the objective, then we are here to help.

When and where 

Free-range. Stop by at stand 8.B61 for an informal update on our latest developments during your exploration of the show. Or feel free to email Mikael Vest or David Kirk with any questions.

What’s highlighting 

DAD AX64 A-D/D-A/D-D audio interface
The AX64 is our flagship multi-format digital/analog/digital interface. It offers 256 Thunderbolt and 256 Dante channels for use in just about any professional audio application. Standard features also include DAD PRO|MON monitor control from mono to immersive plus 128 channels of SPQ loudspeaker processing with a total of 1024 EQ bands and individual channel delay. You can add any Dante device of your liking to your setup such as extra A/D-D/A converters, microphone preamps, headphone amps, mixing consoles or speakers. Installing one eight-channel D/A card in addition to the four built-in output channels makes the AX64 the perfect 7.1.4 solution for immersive Dolby Atmos music production.

DAD AX Center compact audio interface and router
Occupying just 1U, the AX Center audio interface and router can be housed in a near-to-hand rack, placed directly on a desktop or used as part of a transportable recording rig. It is equipped to be the centrepiece of audio conversion and monitor control. The PRO|MON section of the control software gives access to a 512 x 64 channel summing processor. SPQ processing offers 128 channels with a total of 1024 EQ filters, as well as delay, for accurate loudspeaker correction in the studio. The internal routing matrix spans 1,106 x 1,112 channels, allowing any input to be routed to any output or duplicated and routed to several different destinations simultaneously.

DAD Core 256 ultra compact digital audio interface and router
Core 256 is a digital router and monitoring interface with 848 input and output channels. At 1U high and half-rack width, it is most compact of the DAD Thunder|Core series. Core 256 is ready to take on many other tasks in the post production, studio and installed audio spheres. With Dante, MADI and ADAT ports onboard and versatile and flexible DADman routing control available, it is also a stellar D/D converter that can grab any digital audio channel – convert it if needed – and route it anywhere. For immersive audio post-production facilities, this is the missing link that streamlines and optimises multichannel workflows.”

NTP Debuts Penta 721s Compact Dante Multiformat Converter and Router Series

NTP Debuts Penta 721s Compact Dante Multiformat Converter and Router Series

Penta 721s 1RU solutions all provide routing, AES, MADI and Dante I/O with either additional Dante capability, SDI embedding/de-embedding I/O or an open option card slot —

Gentofte, Denmark, September 24, 2020 — NTP Technology’s Enterprise-class Penta family of versatile, flexible and feature-packed digital audio multiformat converter/routers has expanded with three new compact models. Developed to bring Penta solutions to specific applications including broadcast and AV Install, the cost-effective 1RU Penta 721s, 721s-DNT and 721s-SDI allow multiple audio formats to co-exist with Dante networks.

All Penta 721s units offer over 400 connection and configuration options, seamlessly bridging AES, MADI and AES67-compliant Dante I/O with an onboard 512 x 512 router. The Penta 721s model has an open slot accommodating any of seven Penta I/O option cards which include additional AES, dual MADI, analog input, analog output, speaker DSP and delay for lip-sync processing modules that can be purchased as best suits a given application. For A/V, the new Crestron Module™ offers associability to routing and volume of all individual channels. NTP Technology’s DAD and Penta hardware is aligned around its DADman software, where control becomes fluid and transparent, including interleaving NTP solutions to expand AVID MTRX and MTRX Studio I/O (both built for AVID by NTP with DADman control) and also providing monitor control and I/O capability to AVID Dock, S1, S4 and S6 consoles, via the EUCON™ 3 protocol.

The Penta 721s-DNT is a Dante-to-Dante converter with onboard sample rate conversion on all inputs, which makes it ideal for connecting individual IP Audio networks that may run on different sample rates and digital clocks. While all 721s models natively include Dante connectivity in the form of a 64-channel Brooklyn II module, the 721s-DNT model is pre-fitted with the Penta 128-channel Dante module, also with onboard sample rate conversion in and out.

The Penta 721s-SDI adds Dual 3G SDI embedding / de-embedding to the package and is ideal for broadcasters with the need for combining SDI signals with Dante, MADI or AES. The SDI side of the model also has built-in sample rate conversion.

“The new Penta 721s models build on the legacy of the modular Penta 720 unit, which has proven its reliability in countless enterprise audio solutions throughout the world,” says Mikael Vest, Sales Director, NTP Technology. “So, we’re obviously excited to now add these new, compact and more cost-effective siblings to the Penta universe of audio-routing and conversion interfaces. We already know that AoIP will increasingly become the backbone of any larger enterprise audio facility, yet older audio formats will remain part of the systems for some time. With Penta 721s and Penta 721s-SDI we’re covering any existing audio format around, while Penta 721s-DNT is ready to engage any Dante/AES67-based system today or in the future.”

The new Penta 721s models, bringing affordable, Enterprise-level multiformat conversion and routing to a broader range of applications where the full flexibility of the Penta 720 is not required, will be available worldwide in October 2020. The Penta 721s has a MAP/MSRP USD price of $2799, with the 721s-DNT priced at $4320 and the 721s-SDI priced at $4620. All NTP products come with a two-year warranty, extended to three years upon product registration.
