Digital Audio Denmark Introduces DADlink High-Speed Connection

During the 2023 AES Convention in New York, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) announced DADlink, a new proprietary audio and data format that establishes a super-fast connection between DADlink-compatible units such as the AX64, AX Center, Core 256, AX32, and other DAD audio interfaces. Depending on the sample rate, DADlink handles up to 128 bidirectional channels between units with a latency of less than 100 nano seconds.

DAD just announced a new Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for studios, location recording setups or touring rigs. The new AX Center is a dedicated Thunderbolt modular audio interface with dual microphone and instrument inputs, dual headphones and monitors outputs, built-in PRO|MON monitor control with speaker EQ, and two slots for DAD expansion cards. It comes with 256 channels via Thunderbolt, 256 Dante I/O channels, up to 192 MADI I/O channels and 16 ADAT channels, as well as onboard summing and processing.

In a strategic and focused effort to support broadcast audio sales in the US, NTP Technology is teaming up with industry veteran Kurt Howell. He joins the company as Sales Director for North America and will work in close co-operation with NTP’s and Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) current distribution.

At the 141st Audio Engineering Society convention, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) scored big with some key announcements of joint projects with Danish speaker powerhouse Dynaudio, and a very interesting new product development for Avid, with the preview of the new MTRX audio interface for Pro Tools. Two powerful alliances, given DAD’s expertise with audio networking and AD/DA conversion technologies.
