Features

• Six models with 12 mic/line inputs and 8 outputs — The DMP 128 offers signal routing and management for a wide range of sound system applications. It features 12 inputs for mic or line level signals, eight with 48 volt phantom power. The inputs can be routed and mixed to eight line level outputs.
• Inputs: 12 balanced or unbalanced mic/line level on 3.5 mm, 3‑pole and 6‑pole captive screw connectors
• Outputs: Eight balanced or unbalanced line level on 3.5 mm, 6‑pole captive screw connectors
• Models available with AEC, Dante^®, and POTS
• Eight channels of AEC - acoustic echo cancellation — The DMP 128 C and DMP 128 C P models include eight independent channels of high performance AEC, as well as selectable noise cancellation. Extron AEC features advanced algorithms that deliver fast echo canceler convergence for optimal intelligibility in situations that challenge AEC performance, including double‑talk, and the use of wireless microphones at the near end.
• Analog phone interfacing with POTS line and handset connections — The DMP 128 C P and DMP 128 C P AT models provide POTS - analog telephone interface capability for answering and initiating calls to remote attendees participating in a conferencing session. Two RJ‑11 ports allow connection to a POTS line and telephone handset. DMP 128 C P and DMP 128 C P AT models can be used over the PSTN - public switched telephone network and in a PBX - private branch exchange.
• Built-in four-port Gigabit switch on DMP 128 AT models — Provides direct interconnection to additional DMP 128 AT and AXP Series units.
• Eight inputs with FlexInput capability to select between analog or Dante inputs on DMP 128 AT models — Offers the option to route either a local mic/line input or a Dante input through the processor on inputs 1 - 8 to allow remote wireless mics, wallplates, and sources from anywhere on the Dante network to be brought into the DMP 128 AT.
• Dante audio networking provides a wide range of expansion capabilities — Dante equipped DMP 128 AT models, in conjunction with the AXP 50 C AT or AXP 64 C AT, provide scalability for creating larger audio matrixes over a local area network using standard Internet protocols. Each DMP 128 AT sends out 24 channels of 24‑bit/48 kHz digital audio and can receive 56 channels over the network. A built‑in four‑port Gigabit switch also provides direct interconnection of multiple DMP 128 AT and AXP Series units.
• Digital audio expansion port for linking two DMP 128 units — An expansion port allows any two DMP 128 models to be linked together via a single shielded CAT 6 cable. This allows eight matrix mixes of the inputs, plus eight virtual paths to be sent and received between units, for a total of 16 incoming and 16 outgoing buses. The expansion port is also compatible with Extron DTP CrossPoint^® matrix switchers for an 8x16 I/O channel transport between devices. A 1 foot (0.3 m) shielded CAT 6 cable is included.
• Automixer with eight groups — The DMP 128 features an automixer with gated and gain sharing modes for managing up to eight groups of microphone signals. Gating threshold, signal level reduction, and timing parameters are user‑adjustable per channel, allowing for fine‑tuning to avoid the “chopped” sound characteristic of a traditional automixer when a mic is gated off.
• ProDSP™ 32/64‑bit floating point signal processing — The DMP 128 features 32/64‑bit floating point audio DSP processing, which maintains very wide dynamic range and audio signal transparency, to simplify management of gain staging while reducing the possibility of DSP signal clipping.
• 48 volt phantom power — The DMP 128 is equipped with selectable 48 volt phantom power for the first eight inputs, allowing the use of condenser microphones.
• Studio grade 24‑bit/48 kHz analog‑to‑digital and digital‑to‑analog converters — Professional converters fully preserve the integrity of the original audio signal.
• Low latency DSP processing — The DMP 128 features very low, deterministic latency from input to output, regardless of the number of active channels or processes. While latency increases in channels with AEC enabled, and marginally with the automixer, overall latency remains low. This keeps audio in sync with video, and prevents distractions to presenters or performers resulting from delayed live audio.
• DSP Configurator™ Software — A powerful yet user‑friendly PC‑based software tool for managing all audio operations of the DMP 128. It enables complete setup and configuration of digital audio processing tools on the ProDSP platform, as well as routing and mixing.
• Intuitive Graphical User Environment — The DSP Configurator Software features a Graphical User Environment that offers a clear view of all inputs and outputs, audio processing blocks, routing, mix points, and virtual routing in a single window. This allows a designer or installer to quickly view an audio configuration without having to access multiple windows or menus.
• Device Manager enables configuration of multiple Extron DSP products — Device Manager in the DSP Configurator Software enables easy configuration of multiple Extron DSP products, including linked or networked DMP 128 processors, by toggling between Graphical User Environments for each unit. Processors can be grouped into folders for organizing as separate rooms or buildings. Settings for multiple Extron DSP products in Device Manager can be saved to a single file.
• Flexible control options — The DMP 128 can be controlled using the DSP Configurator Software and a PC connection to the Ethernet port, the RS‑232 serial port, or the USB 2.0 port on the front panel. The DMP 128 can also be controlled through a control system with Extron SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set commands, and by accessing the internal Web pages.
• Copy and paste for processing blocks — To help speed audio system design and setup, parameter settings can be quickly copied between individual processing blocks or identical groups of blocks within the Graphical User Environment, using conventional cut‑and‑paste commands.
• Building Blocks processor settings — A collection of pre-designed processor settings optimized for a specific type of input device, such as microphones, with preset levels, filters, dynamics, and more. Flexible Building Blocks are available on each input strip and allow system designers to fully customize and save their own Building Blocks, further streamlining audio system design and integration.
• Live and Emulate operation modes with configuration file saving — Live mode allows integrators to connect to the DMP 128 and make live parameter adjustments while hearing or metering them in real‑time. This avoids the need to compile and upload a configuration file to the DSP. Emulate mode allows settings to be configured offline, then uploaded to the DMP 128. Additionally, current settings on a DMP 128 can be backed up to a configuration file for archiving.
• 32 DSP Configurator presets — Using the DSP Configurator Software, any parameters for DSP processing, levels, or audio routing can be saved as presets. These settings can be saved for the entire system, or any selected group of inputs, outputs, mix points, and DSP blocks.
• 20 digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Twenty configurable digital I/O ports are provided, so that the DMP 128 can be programmed to sense and then respond to external triggers such as mic activation, muting, and recall of presets.
• Triple matrix design provides output, virtual, and expansion routing options — The DMP 128 employs a triple matrix design that offers substantial flexibility in routing, mixing, and processing audio input sources. The primary output matrix allows any of the 12 inputs to be matrix mixed to any or all eight outputs. If desired, any of the inputs can first be directed into the virtual matrix, which routes the inputs to eight virtual buses, before being mixed back into the output matrix. Virtual buses allow inputs to be processed together as a group. The expansion matrix provides signal routing between a DMP 128 and another DMP 128 or an Extron DTP CrossPoint matrix switcher. The expansion matrix is also used on DMP 128 AT models to distribute and receive audio from the Dante network.
• Group controls — The DMP 128 provides the capability to consolidate gain or mute control throughout the system. Gain or mute controls can be selected and added to a group, which can then be controlled by a single control fader or mute control. Each group can have up to 16 members, and up to 32 group leader controls can be created.
• Soft limits provide optimal group control adjustment range — The group control volume range can be limited using soft limits to maintain optimal minimum and maximum levels when using external volume control. This prevents operators from over or under-adjusting levels when using digital I/O or RS‑232 control. The DSP Configurator Software provides quick drag‑and‑drop adjustment of soft limits from the Group Controls screen.
• SpeedNav™ keyboard navigation — SpeedNav enables user‑friendly, keyboard‑based navigation of the DSP Configurator Software without the need for a mouse or touchpad. Using keyboard navigation keys and shortcuts, the user can access any input or output, mix point, and all audio DSP tools. Using only the keyboard for software access can help expedite audio system setup and optimization while on‑site using laptop PCs.
• Front panel input and output signal presence and clipping LEDs — The DMP 128 provides LEDs on the front panel for each input and output, for real‑time monitoring of signal presence. A separate LED illuminates as a warning whenever analog signal clipping is detected.
• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having to access the processor's rear panel.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Engineered to meet the needs of professional AV environments, Ethernet control enables the DMP 128 to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols.
