The number of content sources and services available to consumers seems to be growing daily — and with that growth comes inevitable technical challenges, especially when it comes to distributed audio. Getting sound from Point A — say, a streaming service via a device of some kind — to Point B — a zone of speakers and, ultimately, your ears — can be quite a puzzle.
Crestron’s introduced a solution that solves that puzzle in some of the thorniest use cases: The DM-NAX-XSP Audio Return Processor. A significant benefit: This groundbreaking device — our first Surround Sound decoding DM NAX® digital signal processor — can bridge streaming TVs to Crestron’s DM NAX multi-room audio distribution system.
In recent years, streaming TVs have become an increasingly popular audio source, hosting popular apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and so on — their simplicity and ease-of-use are often preferred over external boxes or dongles. Until now, there’s been no easy way to bridge this with an audio distribution system for premium in-room or multi-room audio. Now it’s possible — over the network and with the flexibility of the DM NAX platform — all thanks to the DM-NAX-XSP Audio Return Processor.
