High Channel Capacity: The DN9680 supports up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz, ensuring high-definition audio quality. Its advanced multiplexing technology combines eight AES50 connections into a single optical fiber or CAT5 cable, while simultaneously demultiplexing incoming signals.

Reliable Clocking and Synchronization: Equipped with an internal AES Grade 1 temperature-compensated word clock, the DN9680 provides exceptional clock accuracy with 1 ppm stability. This ensures a stable and jitter-free audio signal. The unit can synchronize with either its internal clock, external AES50 clock, or external snake clock, offering flexible integration into various system configurations.

Versatile Media Support: The DN9680 accommodates both optical fiber and copper connections. The dual-fiber Neutrik opticalCON DUO connector supports a bidirectional optical link over single-mode dual fiber cables. An optional DN9680-MM upgrade kit allows compatibility with multimode fiber cables, extending the reach to 500 meters.

User-Friendly Configuration: An integrated web server allows easy configuration via an Ethernet control port. This feature eliminates the need for specialized control applications, enabling platform-independent management through a standard web browser.

Durable and Road-Ready: Housed in a rugged 1U rackmount chassis, the DN9680 is built to withstand the demands of live touring environments. The use of premium Neutrik etherCON and opticalCON DUO connectors ensures reliable connections, night after night.
