DM-NAX-4ZSP

DM NAX™ 4-Zone Streaming Preamplifier

Audio-over-IP
DM NAX takes audio distribution to a whole new level by
putting it onto the network. The scale of DM NAX far exceeds
the capabilities of previous generations of Crestron
distributed audio. DM NAX units integrate with DM NVX
devices to pull audio from video feeds for rooms without
displays.
