It receives a digital audio stream over Ethernet using the AES67 protocol and converts it to as many as 32 analog outputs for the amplifier rack.

Installations with more than 48 speaker feeds need two DAC3202 units. Output configuration is handled through a web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outputs reach +20 dBu maximum level with 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response (+0.5\/-1 dB) and 108 dB typical dynamic range.
