Denon Professional has introduced the DN-508MX and DN-508MXA zone mixers, two versatile, innovative solutions for controlling and routing audio sources in multi-room venues.
Recognizing a crucial, unfulfilled need in the professional market for products that can command and manage a wide variety of audio sources through a single unit, the DN-508MX and 508MXA Zone Mixers are refreshingly uncomplicated, high-performance solutions for controlling and routing up to eight audio sources in multi-room venues. Special attention has been paid to the design of the front panel interface to make them intuitive and easy to operate, which makes the “learning curve” on these products very short. The 508MXA has on-board zone amplification for added flexibility when configuring a specific system with different requirements.
Typical applications include restaurants, hotels, museums, nightclubs, sports bars and large corporate offices. Both mixers have remote controllability via RS-232C and IP for the commercial installations. The DN-508MX and 508MXA also have several features dedicated for professional use such as a professional grade head-amp, MIC/LINE PAD, full BTL balanced outputs, 3-band EQ for inputs, 5-band EQ for outputs, Priority, Delay, Dynamics, system control application (Web remote) and scheduling function to operate automatically for optimum energy efficiency.
A Web-based GUI makes it simple to control every function of the unit, from whatever device is most convenient for the user.

For 70V/100V and BTL applications, the 508MXA delivers two zones of 120-watt amplification. There is also a selectable on/off High-Pass Filter (80Hz) for each of the amplified zones.
“These new zone mixers are exactly what professional system designers and installers have been looking for,” said Paul Jenkins, Vice-President of Sales for Denon Professional. “Now it’s possible to route and control a wide variety of audio sources in a multi-room environment and to do so with precise command over the parameters of each individual zone.
