Magewell 642600000 Pro Convert Audio DX – Dante, NDI and SRT Audio Converter

What is the Magewell Pro Convert Audio DX audio converter?

The Magewell Pro Convert Audio DX is a compact, PoE-powered IP audio converter that bridges Dante, NDI, SRT, RTMP(S) and analog audio in one box. It receives an 8-channel Dante flow from a DSP such as the QSC Core Nano and re-encodes it as network audio streams, including RTMPS for cloud services. That makes it a practical Dante-to-RTMPS bridge for live AI translation, remote production and streaming audio feeds in commercial AV systems.

How does the Magewell Pro Convert Audio DX work?

Audio enters as Dante (up to 8 channels in unicast or multicast), analog through 3.5 mm unbalanced or 4.4 mm balanced inputs, or USB Audio Class from a computer. An internal audio matrix routes or mixes any input to any output, with per-input volume and buffer settings. On the output side it encodes Dante, analog, USB audio and two simultaneous 4-channel network streams over SRT, NDI, RTSP, RTMP(S) or TS over UDP/RTP. Dante routing is handled in Dante Controller or Dante Domain Manager, and the unit is configured through its web interface, Magewell's Control Hub, or HTTP APIs that a room control system can call. It runs from 802.3af PoE or the included 5 V supply, and the small chassis mounts with the included L-bracket or a ¼-20 thread. In a Creation Networks live translation room, the Q-SYS translation mix goes out over Dante to the Audio DX, which streams it to the translation service while the room's own sound system is unaffected.

What are the key features of the Magewell Pro Convert Audio DX?

• Dante in and out — Receives and transmits 8-channel 24-bit Dante flows, with PTP master or slave support.
• RTMPS and SRT streaming — Encodes two 4-channel network audio streams at once over SRT, NDI, RTSP, RTMP(S) or TS.
• Analog and USB I/O — Balanced 4.4 mm, unbalanced 3.5 mm and 4-channel USB Audio Class in and out.
• Audio matrix — Route or mix any input to any output, with volume and buffer control per input.
• Control-system ready — HTTP APIs, web UI and Control Hub management for automation from a room controller.
• PoE powered — Runs from an 802.3af PoE switch port, so no local power is required.

Where is the Magewell Pro Convert Audio DX typically used?

• Government space
• Conference room

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Audio DX take Dante from a Q-SYS Core?
Yes. Q-SYS Cores such as the Core Nano include 8x8 software-based Dante, and the Audio DX subscribes to those channels in Dante Controller.

Can it stream to a cloud translation or streaming service?
Yes. It encodes network audio streams over RTMP and RTMPS as well as SRT, so it can feed services that accept an RTMP ingest.

Can a control system start and stop it?
Yes. Magewell provides HTTP APIs, so a Q-SYS or other control processor can manage it as part of the room program.

Does it need a power supply at the rack?
No. It runs from an 802.3af PoE switch port; a 5 V adapter is included if PoE isn't available.

What else does Magewell make for AV-over-IP?
Browse the full Magewell collection for NDI encoders, decoders and capture devices. For rooms that also need video recording and streaming, see the Epiphan Pearl Nexus with Dante.

Who supports the installation?
Creation Networks designs, installs and supports systems built around the Audio DX, including Q-SYS programming and Dante network setup.
