Klark Teknik DN4816U StageConnect Interface Bridge

The Klark Teknik DN4816U brings together the potential of multiple technologies into one compact interface. Designed for the StageConnect ecosystem, it allows you to route 32 channels between StageConnect, the well-established ULTRANET protocol and USB audio. Whether you want to incorporate personal monitoring, use a digital console as a USB interface or record a multi-channel mix directly into your DAW, the DN4816U makes it happen.

Share 32 Channels Seamlessly Between StageConnect, ULTRANET and USB

At the heart of the DN4816U is its auto-adapting capability to route 32 channels of 24-bit digital audio at 48kHz between StageConnect, ULTRANET devices and your computer via USB. The advanced StageConnect protocol utilizes standard XLR DMX cables to transmit multi-channel, bidirectional audio plus control data below 0.5ms of latency. ULTRANET distributes 16 channels over Cat5 cable to over 1 million compatible devices and USB audio provides direct interfacing with your DAW. The DN4816U automatically configures routing based on connected devices, allowing you to build powerful, scalable systems with ease.

Daisy-Chain Up to 32 Interfaces for Massive I/O Capability

To meet the needs of larger applications, DN48XX Series interfaces can be daisy-chained. With the 32 channel bandwidth, you can combine units to achieve 32 inputs, 16 inputs and 16 outputs, 32 outputs or any combination in between. Whether you want to add I/O to a mixing console, incorporate external effects, route signals to personal monitor mixers or anything else, chaining DN48XX devices with a simple XLR cable delivers the flexibility you need.

Built-in Power Distribution for Connected Devices

Intelligently designed for real-world use, the DN48XX Series provides power distribution along the daisy-chain. Each unit can receive DC power or utilize the 18W supply from a StageConnect master device to reduce cabling. The DN4816U monitors overall power consumption, allowing multiple devices to be powered from a single source. Streamlined power management ensures reliable performance.

Virtual Planning for Optimized Systems

To aid in designing StageConnect systems, the StageConnect Calculator (SCC) tool enables virtual configuration and testing. Build a chain, set parameters and evaluate routing, power budget and cable lengths. You can optimize setups before ever plugging in a cable. The DN4816U makes StageConnect’s potential for multi-channel routing available with simplified integration.
