Extron has introduced the XMP 240 expansion matrix processor, featuring a mix matrix with 24 channels of AEC and 48x48 Dante connectivity in a half rack space.
The XMP 240 can also be used standalone for matrix processing in an all network audio system. When connected to a DMP Plus Series processor via Dante or the EXP expansion port, a complete system is created that offers up to 36 channels of AEC, a USB audio interface, analogue connectivity, and optional VoIP. A system expanded with an XMP 240 can support multiple beam forming microphone arrays alongside numerous other Dante sources, with enough outputs to support multiple zones and destination devices. It is suitable for network audio systems based on Dante or AES67 and allows for high channel count audio input and output processing.
With connectivity for up to 48 sources and 48 destinations via Dante or AES67, the XMP 240 is suited to applications that use many network audio devices. Dante Domain Manager support provides user authentication, role-based security, and seamless expansion of Dante systems over any network infrastructure.
