DAD by NTP Technology to Promote Full Range of Pro-Audio...

Following a successful NAMM 2025 exhibition in California, DAD by NTP Technology representatives will shortly be heading to Spain for Integrated Systems Europe. The show will be held at its usual Fira de Barcelona convention centre location, Tuesday February 4th through Friday 7th. The complete DAD range of audio production solutions will be promoted on stand 4M530.

A highlight of our ISE demonstrations will be our recently introduced Control | Pack software in combination with our Thunder | Core AX64 AD/DD/DA router, AX Center and Core 256 interfaces, says Kim Lumholtz, Global Sales Director. This directly addresses the demand for increasingly high channel counts in live sound presentation environments such as stage presentation, monitor mixing and playback.

A free download for DAD equipment users, Control | Pack makes the configuration of primary and backup audio channels a breeze. Up to 32 independent routing preset groups can be configured and loaded into the AX64, AX Center or Core 256. Each group can accommodate four layers with up to 256 x 256 channels per layer.

Switching between input layer presets can be automated via signal triggers in the Thunder | Core interface or controlled from an external device. Detector and trigger configuration can also be handled independently. Switching time between routing groups is zero audio samples when operating manually via DADman or an external control panel.

Channel switching can also be actioned via a pilot tone or AE6 digital trigger. The processing time for a preset group is less than two audio samples under AE6-based control or around 1 millisecond for pilot tone detection, providing a practically inaudible transition.

Thunder | Core has a hardware latency of only nine samples and 28 bit floating point resolution. It can accommodate up to 256 bidirectional channels at 48 and 96 kHz sampling rates, 128 channels at 192 kHz or 64 channels at 384 kHz. Also supported are Apple Silicon processors, macOS Big Sur and forward with a Core Audio driver, as well as Microsoft Windows 10 and forward with an ASIO Thunder | Core driver.

DAD AX64 modular multiformat audio interface

Occupying 2U, the AX64 is modular multi-format audio interface with eight slots for audio I/O cards from the AX32 and Penta product family. Up to 64 analogue input or output channels can be accommodated, retaining the renowned DAD high-end sonic quality. The feature set includes a wide palette of digital connectivity, built-in DAD SPQ processing, Eucon high-speed Ethernet control compatibility, internal summing engine and drivers for macOS and Windows. It is ready to take on a wealth of tasks in the studio as well as post production, live music and installed audio spheres. Dante devices such as extra A/D-D/A converters, microphone preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, mixing consoles and loudspeakers can be added.

DAD AX Center audio interface and router

The DAD AX Center is a 1U audio interface and router which can be housed in a 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. Any input can be routed to any output or duplicated and routed to several different destinations simultaneously.

DAD Core 256 digital router and monitoring interface

Core 256 is the most compact of the DAD Thunder | Core series. A digital router and monitoring interface with 848 input and output channels, it is ready to take on many other tasks in the post production, studio and installed audio spheres. Sampling rates of 44.1 up to 384 kHz are supported. ADAT, MADI and Dante connectivity allow easy addition of analog preamps or insert points to the mix. At 1U high and half-rack width, Core 256 can share a 1U rack shelf with an Apple Mac Mini running Dolby Atmos Renderer, Dolby Atmos Production Suite or Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite.
