About the Crestron DM-NAX-AP-100

The DM-NAX-AP-100 is designed to make conferencing setup straightforward. Its web interface handles most configuration tasks automatically, and it configures the settings on up to eight paired microphones and speakers. Built-in DSP provides acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control and dynamic noise suppression, and audio can be exchanged with DM NAX and AES67 audio-over-IP devices.

A USB-C port connects to the host computer as a USB Audio Class 2 device, carrying bidirectional stereo audio at up to 24-bit/48 kHz, and enumerates as a Crestron Echo-Canceling Speakerphone. There are two network ports: LAN 1 carries control traffic and PoE, and LAN 2 is dedicated to audio-over-IP, so AoIP traffic can be kept on a separate LAN.

Power comes from PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 2) or from the optional PW-2407WU 24 VDC power pack, sold separately. The black textured plastic housing can be freestanding, stacked or surface mounted, and there is a wall or ceiling mounting option using a black plastic bracket. It measures 34 mm high (45 mm with the bracket), 128 mm wide (137 mm with the bracket) and 128 mm deep.

Questions about the Crestron DM-NAX-AP-100

What is the Crestron DM-NAX-AP-100?

It is the DM NAX Intelligent Audio processor, the hub of a DM NAX Intelligent Audio conferencing system. It mixes and processes audio from paired microphones, distributes programme audio to paired speakers and connects to a host computer over USB-C, working as a Microsoft Teams certified echo cancelling speakerphone with compatible devices.

How many devices can the DM-NAX-AP-100 manage?

It automatically configures up to eight paired devices, such as microphones and speakers, and its web interface handles most configuration tasks automatically. Pairing progress is shown on the PAIR LED, and the LAN LEDs show when each network port has a link and is ready for pairing.

How does the DM-NAX-AP-100 connect to a computer?

It has a USB-C port that works as a USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) device with bidirectional stereo audio at up to 24-bit/48 kHz. The computer sees it as a Crestron Echo-Canceling Speakerphone. Acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control and dynamic noise suppression are handled in the processor.

How is it powered?

It can be powered by PoE on its LAN 1 port, compliant with IEEE 802.3af Class 2 (5 W), or by the optional PW-2407WU power pack, which is sold separately and supplies 24 VDC at 0.75 A from a 100 to 240 VAC supply.

Why does it have two network ports?

LAN 1 is dedicated to control traffic and PoE, while LAN 2 is dedicated to audio-over-IP traffic only. This lets audio-over-IP traffic be isolated on a separate LAN from control traffic. Both ports are 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T Ethernet.

How much is the Crestron DM-NAX-AP-100?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-NAX-AP-100 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-AP-100?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DM-NAX-AP-100 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-AP-100 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DM-NAX-AP-100 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-AP-100 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-AP-100 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.
