Digital Audio Labs Expands Dante Monitoring with DPM2, DPM4, and Livemix Pro AD-16

Digital Audio Labs is expanding its Dante-based monitoring ecosystem with three practical tools for musicians, studios, venues, worship teams, broadcast rooms, and system designers. The DPM2 and DPM4 put compact personal control at the listening position, while the Livemix Pro AD-16 brings line-level analog sources onto a Dante network.

Together, they cover two sides of the same workflow: getting audio onto the network and giving each listener straightforward control over the channels they need.

DPM2: focused control in a compact format

The DPM2 is a two-channel Dante personal mixer designed for simple monitor mixes, auxiliary listening positions, practice rooms, studio cue mixes, and broadcast or IFB applications. Its two Dante input channels can operate independently or as a single stereo pair.

Key capabilities include:

• Two input channels from Dante
• Configuration as one stereo pair
• Dante operation at sample rates up to 96 kHz
• Nine DSP programs
• Always-available master volume control
• 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch stereo outputs
• Power over Ethernet
• Setup through Dante Controller

The small wearable form factor makes the DPM2 a useful choice when a full personal mixing station would be more than the application requires. MAP is $349.

DPM4: more channels without a larger workflow

The DPM4 builds on the same compact approach with four independent Dante channels. Those channels can be configured as up to two stereo pairs, giving performers and operators more flexibility while keeping the interface direct.

The DPM4 includes:

• Four input channels from Dante
• Configuration as up to two stereo pairs
• Dante operation at sample rates up to 96 kHz
• Nine DSP programs
• Always-available master volume control
• 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch stereo outputs
• Power over Ethernet
• Setup through Dante Controller

It is well suited to recording studios, small venues, churches, broadcast positions, or as an extension point in a larger Livemix system. MAP is $399.

Livemix Pro AD-16: connect analog sources to Dante

The Livemix Pro AD-16 converts 16 channels of line-level analog audio to Dante. It connects a mixing console, preamps, or other line-level sources through DB-25 connectors, with analog pass-through connections that allow the unit to sit inline without interrupting the existing signal path.

The AD-16 provides:

• Studio-grade analog-to-digital conversion
• 16 analog inputs on DB-25
• 16 analog pass-through connections on DB-25
• 16 Dante digital output channels
• Support for sample rates up to 96 kHz
• Front-panel visual feedback

Routing and sample-rate configuration are handled in Dante Controller. The AD-16 can feed an existing Dante infrastructure or route directly to a Livemix Pro-16 or Pro-32 personal monitoring system. MAP is $1,499.99.

A scalable path into Dante personal monitoring

The DPM2, DPM4, and AD-16 make it easier to build a monitoring system around the actual size of the job. A smaller room can add a few focused listening positions without unnecessary complexity. A larger installation can bring existing analog sources onto Dante and distribute them across a broader Livemix Pro system.
