D-Net Software

D-Net Software

Designed from the ground up based on decades of experience in DSP control software, our D-Net control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives you full control of your system over Ethernet or Wifi.

D-Net Overview

With its intuitive user interface, D-Net makes it simple to automatically discover all your devices and get control of them on a network. D-Net gives full control of all DSP, routing and configuration of multiple NST devices with ability to set up systems offline and store/load presets and preset libraries.

More advanced tools are also available allowing device linking, storing/loading of system snapshots as well as selective locking of device control panels. For “Power Users” there are also many shortcuts and time saving features to make system configuration quicker and easier.

  • Available for PC, Mac and iPad
  • Automatic discovery of all devices on the network
  • Connection via Ethernet / Wifi or USB (PC only)
  • Open multiple device control panels simultaneously
  • Real time metering of all online devices at 30fps
  • Copy and paste devices, channels or EQ between devices
  • Automatic prompting when firmware updates are available for connected devices
  • System monitor window to view metering and network status of all devices
  • Split virtual rack view and system monitor into virtual “racks” to represent physical locations
  • Global mute button instantly mutes all devices on the network
  • Ability to configure a system offline and assign devices when going online
  • Load and Save of system files, current devices settings files and preset library files
  • Linking view to enable linking of multiple devices, with optional exclusion of some parameters
  • System snapshots to store or load current system state

VR1 PoE Remote Control Panel

VR1 PoE Remote Control Panel

The VR1 wall panel remote is designed for simple and intuitive remote control of specific parameters of any NST Audio processor.

VR1 Overview

The panel is designed to fit into a single-gang standard UK electrical wall box (US and Euro versions available on request). The VR1 is powered by a PoE (Power Over Ethernet) router, requiring only a single standard Ethernet cable for both power and control. This second generation design reduces the in-wall depth by almost 40% (to 28.2mm from 45mm) and is now also fully enclosed to the rear.

The VR1 is programmed using the NST Audio D-Net software and can be set-up to allow control of one or more NST Audio processors connected to the same network as the wall panel.

The VR1 allows multiple pages of custom remote access to the following parameters :

Channel and matrix gains
Routing and channel mutes
Preset recall
Once set-up, the VR1 requires no technical knowledge to operate, allowing venue personnel to operate the device with ease. The full colour 128 x 128 pixel LCD display allows all pages to be labelled by the install engineer, leaving venue staff with a clear, simple and easy to use remote which enables them to adjust the configuration and volume of the sound system in multiple locations, throughout the venue.

VMO16 Audio Installation Processor

VMO16 Audio Installation Processor

Designed using NST second-generation DSP designs, the VMO16 brings no-compromise audio performance and system control to Dante networked audio installations.

VMO16 Overview

The VMO16 brings all the benefits and experience of our live sound filters and dynamics algorithms to an installation product. The 16 inputs from the Dante network go to a full 16×16 matrix mixer allowing any Dante networked inputs to be routed to any analogue output channel. All of the 16 analogue outputs have 16 bands of parametric EQ, 48dB/ Oct high and low pass filters, up to 1.3 seconds of delay as well as our high performance, two-stage PXL limiters for high performance loudspeaker protection.

All analogue audio connections are on Phoenix-type 3-pin 5.08mm pitch connectors. The 4 GPI connections allow configurable actions such as fire alarm mutes and preset recalls. Up to 30 presets can be stored with recall options allowing selective recall combinations of input, matrix and output sections.

Our D-Net control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives you complete control over ethernet amd wifi. The VMO16 is also fully compatible with our VR1 PoE remote control panel for simple, flexible user control. Control via third party systems such as Crestron™ is available via our simple ethernet control protocol.

ID48X Installation Matrix Signal Processor

ID48X Installation Matrix Signal Processor

Now in its third generation, the ID48X offers the same audio performance and remote control flexibility as our acclaimed D48X in a package ideally suited to installation applications.

ID48X Overview

With inputs and outputs switchable in channel pairs between analogue or AES/EBU the ID48X gives you the flexibility you need to integrate into your system.

Compressors are available on every input as well as a high pass filter, 8 bands of parametric EQ, a 28 band graphic EQ, 3 bands of dynamic EQ and up to 1.3 seconds of delay. Routing to outputs can be configured to either mix-matrix mode, free-routing or several pre-configured routing options.

Flexible channel linking enables quick and easy configuration of common crossover setups or customised configurations as required. Every output channel has high and low pass filters, 16 bands of parametric EQ and up to 1.3 seconds of delay. FIR filtering is also supported.

Our Predictive eXcursion Limiter (PXL) algorithm, on every output, is designed to offer the best driver protection with the lowest distortion.

A new USB-C front panel connection with Ethernet bridging means you can plug into any device and control the entire network. Additionally, a new Ethernet dual port switch in every unit means flexible connection options – either quick daisy chaining of devices or traditional star routing back to a dedicated external router/switch.

Our D-Net Ethernet based control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives you the ability to not only control all the devices on a network but also to store preset memories and configure systems offline.

With enhanced audio performance thanks to the latest ESS AD/DA converter chipsets increasing the already impressive dynamic range and reducing THD+N figures, the ID48X offers even more than ever before.
