Know before you buy
The DA-8 is an analog output module designed to take stereo mixes from your Livemix Pro system and route them to external analog gear, such as wireless in-ear monitor transmitters or recording interfaces.
You can easily route your audio using the SoftRoute software within the Livemix Pro personal mixer interface. This allows you to assign any stereo mix to your chosen TRS or DB25 outputs without needing to physically re-patch cables.
The DA-8 can be powered via a 24V DC power supply or through Power over Ethernet (PoE) over your Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling, providing flexibility for your rack setup.
Output ID plays a test tone through a specific channel, allowing you to quickly identify which output corresponds to which cable or destination. It saves significant time during setup by eliminating the need for manual cable tracing.
The DA-8 is specifically engineered as an analog output module for the Livemix Pro ecosystem. While the system itself is Dante-capable, the DA-8 module is designed to integrate directly with Livemix Pro hardware and software.
The unit features 16 balanced 1/4-inch TRS outputs and two DB25 connectors, providing a total of eight stereo output pairs in a compact 1U rackmount form factor.
