AKG DMM8 ULD Digital Automatic Microphone Mixer with LAN and DANTE
The AKG DMM8 ULD is an 8-channel digital automatic microphone mixer with LAN and DANTE interfaces, delivering 14 free assignable DANTE outputs for broadcast-grade audio applications. Cascadable to 80 channels, it provides precise DSP-controlled automatic mixing for conferences and TV productions.Overview
The AKG DMM8 ULD is the most fully featured variant of the DMM8 series, integrating an Ethernet LAN control interface and a DANTE network audio chip alongside 8-channel automatic microphone mixing. The DANTE chip exposes all inputs on the DANTE stream and provides 14 freely assignable DANTE outputs — making it particularly valuable for broadcast, television round-table, and live recording environments. Four DANTE streams can also be used as inputs, enabling rich integration with other DANTE-enabled AV equipment.

FAQ
What makes the DANTE interface useful in broadcast applications?
DANTE enables lossless digital audio transport over standard Ethernet, eliminating the need for long analog cable runs. All DMM8 ULD inputs appear on the DANTE stream simultaneously, ideal for multi-feed broadcast and recording setups.
How many DANTE outputs can be assigned?
The DMM8 ULD provides 14 free assignable DANTE outputs, giving engineers maximum flexibility in routing audio to recorders, amplifiers, and other networked devices.
Can the DMM8 ULD also be controlled via a room control system?
Yes, the Ethernet LAN interface supports third-party control systems such as AMX and Crestron for centralized conference room management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does DANTE networking on the DMM8 ULD enhance professional audio installations?
DANTE transmits uncompressed audio over standard Ethernet, and the DMM8 ULD provides 14 assignable DANTE outputs. This enables flexible routing to recording systems, broadcast feeds, and distributed audio playback.
Is the DMM8 ULD suitable for television and broadcast production?
Yes, the DANTE outputs, 80-channel cascading capability, and DSP-controlled mixing make the DMM8 ULD well-suited for TV studios, live broadcast events, and professional production facilities.
What advantage do the 14 assignable DANTE outputs provide for live events?
The 14 outputs allow you to send different audio feeds to broadcast trucks, recording stations, streaming servers, and monitoring stations independently, enabling flexible production workflows.
Can the DMM8 ULD work with remote monitoring and recording over Ethernet?
Yes, DANTE enables direct network audio transmission to remote production systems, enabling live monitoring, recording, and distribution without additional audio interfaces.
