Neutrik XIRIUM PRO RX Digital DANTE Output Module (NXP-RM-DANTE-E)

Neutrik XIRIUM PRO NXP-RM-DANTE-E

The Neutrik XIRIUM PRO NXP-RM-DANTE-E is a Digital Dante Output Module for the XIRIUM PRO Europe Receiver RX (NXP2RX-E). 

With DiWA (Digital Wireless Audio) Neutrik has developed a technology for digital data transmission achieving high fidelity without data compression. A digital, uncompressed audio stream of 24 bit/48 kHz requires a bandwidth of 1.15 MHz. Such an amount of data can not be transmitted in the UHF band without using a compander. By choosing the 5 GHz band XIRIUM PRO provides 20 MHz bandwidth. Despite employing wireless technology, audio signals are transmitted at the level of quality found in a recording studio.
