About the Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP

Each of the four stereo zones (eight channels) has a dedicated streaming service player, so every zone can play different content. Outputs are four unbalanced stereo pairs on RCA connectors, with balanced stereo outputs on terminal blocks that mirror zones 1 and 2. Voltage triggers linked to the four stereo outputs can switch connected external amplifiers on and off.

Sources include four stereo analogue RCA inputs, four S/PDIF digital inputs (two optical and two coaxial), up to four stereo DM NAX or AES67 audio-over-IP streams and the built-in streaming services. Up to 16 stereo DM NAX or AES67 streams can be sent to the network, and it interoperates with Dante devices through AES67. Full DSP on the line outputs includes bass, treble, loudness, dynamic range control, EQ, tone profiles and output bussing for linking adjacent zones.

The preamplifier supports voice control with Crestron Home OS and has built-in chime support. It is a 1RU rack-mountable unit with low power consumption (15.9 W), two 100/1000 Ethernet ports, a USB console port for setup and an IEC C14 mains inlet for 100 to 240 V AC. It measures 44 mm high, 482 mm wide with rack ears (439 mm without) and 368 mm deep.

Questions about the Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP

What is the Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP?

It is a DM NAX 4-zone streaming preamplifier. It provides four stereo line-level zones, each with its own streaming service player, and puts multiroom audio distribution on the network with DM NAX and AES67 audio-over-IP. Its outputs are line level, so it is used with external amplifiers.

How does the DM-NAX-4ZSP work with external amplifiers?

Its four stereo line-level outputs feed external amplifiers, and voltage triggers corresponding to those four outputs can power the connected amplifiers on and off. Zones 1 and 2 are also available as balanced stereo outputs on terminal blocks, alongside the unbalanced RCA outputs.

Which sources can the DM-NAX-4ZSP play?

It has four stereo analogue RCA inputs, four S/PDIF digital inputs (two optical and two coaxial) and built-in streaming services with a player for each zone. It can also receive up to four stereo DM NAX or AES67 streams from the network, and is interoperable with Dante devices through AES67.

Does it support voice control?

Yes. Crestron lists voice control support for Crestron Home OS. It also has built-in chime support, output bussing for linked operation of adjacent zones, and full DSP on the line outputs, including EQ, tone profiles, loudness and dynamic range control.

How is the preamplifier powered and mounted?

It runs from 100 to 240 V AC through an IEC 60320 C14 inlet, with a removable power cord included, and consumes 15.9 W. It is a 1RU rack-mountable unit, 482 mm wide with rack ears or 439 mm without, 44 mm high and 368 mm deep.

How much is the Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-NAX-4ZSP directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DM-NAX-4ZSP?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DM-NAX-4ZSP on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the DM-NAX-4ZSP come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DM-NAX-4ZSP develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the DM-NAX-4ZSP in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DM-NAX-4ZSP without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
