Symetrix 80-0144 Radius NX 4x4 Dante + USB-B

Product Overview

The Symetrix 80-0144 Radius NX 4x4 is a compact, open-architecture DSP processor with 4 balanced analog inputs, 4 balanced analog outputs, native Dante network audio, and a USB-B BYOD conferencing interface in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Designed for smaller conference rooms, huddle rooms, and single-room AV installations that require Dante connectivity and full Composer programmability, the Radius NX 4x4 Dante delivers enterprise-grade AEC, AGC, and signal processing at a scale appropriate for rooms that do not require the full 12x8 channel count. It is an ideal Symetrix Dante DSP for huddle rooms, small boardrooms, and distributed AV deployments where network audio routing to other Dante devices is required.

Product Description

The Radius NX 4x4 Dante provides the same open DSP architecture and processing quality as its larger 12x8 sibling in a form factor optimized for smaller rooms and tighter budgets. Four Phoenix terminal balanced inputs handle tabletop microphones, ceiling mic arrays, or line sources, while four balanced Phoenix outputs feed local amplifiers, ceiling speakers, or Dante-connected amplification. The onboard native Dante card enables bidirectional network audio with other Dante devices on the same IP infrastructure, simplifying distributed AV designs across multiple rooms or buildings. AEC with non-linear processing (NLP), AGC, and noise-priority gating ensure clear, full-duplex conferencing through the USB-B interface with any soft-codec platform. Symetrix Composer provides the same drag-and-drop programming environment used across all Radius NX products, giving integrators consistent workflow from small rooms to enterprise-scale deployments. ARC wall panels and xIO Dante endpoints expand the system’s reach for local control and remote I/O.

Key Features

• 4 Balanced Analog Inputs / 4 Balanced Analog Outputs — Phoenix terminal connectivity provides clean, reliable termination for microphones, line sources, and amplifier feeds in smaller room installations.
• Native Dante Network Audio Card — Factory-installed Dante card enables network audio routing to other Dante devices without additional hardware or licensing fees.
• USB-B BYOD Audio Interface — Class-compliant USB audio for driver-free soft-codec conferencing with Teams, Zoom, Webex, and similar platforms.
• Acoustic Echo Cancellation with NLP — Onboard AEC and non-linear processing eliminate echo and residual artifacts for full-duplex call quality in acoustically challenging small rooms.
• AGC and Noise Gating — Automatic level management and gating keep talker audio consistent and minimize background noise pickup between speech segments.
• Symetrix Composer Programming — Open-architecture DSP programming in Composer provides complete signal flow flexibility, matching the programming environment used for larger Radius NX installations.
• ARC Wall Panel and xIO Compatibility — Supports Symetrix ARC local room control panels and xIO Dante I/O endpoints for remote signal extension and room control.
• 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor — Standard rack width fits in huddle room AV closets, under-table rack enclosures, and any standard AV equipment rack.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 80-0144 appropriate for a single huddle room, or is it designed for larger deployments?

A: The Radius NX 4x4 is specifically scaled for single-room applications such as huddle rooms and small conference rooms. Its 4x4 analog I/O matches typical small-room microphone and speaker configurations, while the Dante card provides network connectivity for facilities that want to standardize on Dante infrastructure across multiple rooms.

Q: Can multiple Radius NX 4x4 units be networked together on the same Dante domain?

A: Yes. Multiple Radius NX 4x4 Dante units and other Dante-enabled Symetrix processors can share audio across a common Dante network, enabling centralized DSP architectures or distributed processing across many rooms from a single Composer site file.

Q: Does this unit include AEC out of the box, or does it require a software license?

A: AEC, NLP, AGC, and gating are included in the standard DSP processing library accessible through Composer. No additional license purchase is required to use these features.

Q: What is the maximum number of Dante channels supported?

A: The onboard Dante card supports Dante channel counts well beyond the 4x4 analog I/O, allowing the unit to pass audio to and from many other Dante devices on the network simultaneously.

Q: What is the warranty period?

A: Symetrix provides a five-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty registration and service support information.
