Digital Audio Denmark has today announced the release of AX Center, a premium modular audio interface that includes monitor control and speaker processing. We have the details…
Known for their high-end convertor technologies for pros working with digital audio, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) are known for such creations as the AX64 and AX32 modular audio interfaces. These allow engineers not only to configure their analogue and digital audio I/O to their own needs, but also to carry out complex routing and monitoring tasks. Products to this end such as the SPQ Speaker Processing Card and MOM Monitor Operating Module further add to the company’s provision for pros working in stereo and multichannel facilities.
Following on from the highly successful AX32 modular audio interface/router/monitor controller, Digital Audio Denmark now offers the AX Center. This brings the AX ethos to a 1U footprint offering much of the functionality held by its larger siblings. This includes compatibility with a range of DAD’s expansion cards, including the SPQ Speaker Processing Card. This can be configured to various different filter characteristics and channel layouts via the DADman control software and is all integrated and easily managed by the PRO|MON monitor control section in DADman.

AX Center was born to sit in a rack right next to you in the studio, in your portable rig - or maybe even on your desktop. It's the audio interface that dreams are made of, as it unites the legendary audio quality of pristine Digital Audio Denmark AD & DA conversion with the renowned transparency and musicality of our mic preamps.
