SX-M2D2

admin — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 23:00:57 +0000

The SX-M2D2 is all at once:

A very high quality stereo preamplifier
An analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter
A headphone and monitoring amplifier
A USB sound card compatible with any type of computer or smartphone
An audio mixer with an integrated full featured compressor-limiter.

An embedded digital matrix allows any input to be routed to any output or to an internal stereo mixer. The fully digital controls allow menu access to all features with only two rotary encoders. A high-brightness graphic display shows the available options and settings as well as four modulometers assignable in pairs to any signal source. The power supply from a standard battery, recharged in the device, guarantees hours of autonomy, even if the two power sources available to the SX-M2D2 are unplugged.

The possibilities of implementation are endless:

As a complement to a TV cinema recording equipment or as a small stand-alone mixer.
As an AD converter preamplifier for a boom operator, with the possibility of mixing talkback with local monitoring
For a radio journalist who will be able to record and monitor 2 mics interviews on his smartphone.
For the musician or podcast creator who wants to benefit from very high quality inputs and outputs on his computer (PC or Apple-Mac) or smartphone (iOs or Android).
For the audiophile who will benefit from a DA converter coupled with an exceptional headphone amplifier.

Key Features

Two mic/line analog inputs with 135dB dynamic range
Independent line and phones outputs
AES42/AES3 input, AES3 output
Two channels in/out USB audio 2.0
Powered by removable Li-ion battery, Hirose or USB with intelligent energy management

SX-Controller

Remote control software for the SONOSAX SX-AD8+

SX-Controller allows you to monitor and control up to 10 SX-AD8+ units connected to the same Dante network from a single computer. View input levels, access all settings for the eight channels of each unit, and lock the physical controls to prevent accidental changes.

This solution is particularly useful when several SX-AD8+ units are installed in racks, technical rooms, studios, concert halls or fixed installations.

Requirements

SONOSAX SX-AD8+ firmware version 1.8 or later
Dante option installed in the SX-AD8+
Computer and SX-AD8+ units connected to the same Dante network

The Installation Guide and Troubleshooting Guide are also available directly within SX-Controller by clicking the “?” button in the top-right corner of the interface.
