Audix DN4 Dante AES67 Integrated Microphone System Interface

The Audix DN4 connects up to four Audix RJ45-equipped, single-element analog microphones to a Dante or AES67 audio network. This four-channel microphone interface combines 24-bit, 48 kHz audio with independent gain, filter, and logic controls, making it a practical connection point for compatible microphones in installed AV systems.

Simplified Audio and Control Wiring

A shielded CAT cable with RJ45 connections carries audio and supported microphone functions between each microphone and the DN4, including on-off contact closure and LED status indication. Combining these connections in one cable per microphone helps simplify installation and reduce wiring errors.

Independent Channel Adjustment

Each channel offers eight selectable preamp gain levels, plus low-pass and high-pass filters, with settings configurable through software. Balanced audio inputs with RFI filtering and 48V phantom power support the microphone signal path, while flash memory preserves settings in the event of power loss.

For integrated control, each microphone port provides two 5V logic outputs with source/sink capability for LEDs controlled by network-connected DSPs, plus one logic input for buttons. The DN4 also supports Dante Domain Manager and dynamic or static IP addressing.
