About the Crestron DM-NAX-POD-MIC

The pod's 360 degree, 12-element array microphone has a pickup radius of 2.3 m (7.5 ft) and suits small to large rooms. Built-in automatic gain control and automixing balance each microphone in the array for even signal levels while reducing extraneous noise, and dynamic noise suppression is included. Audio is full-duplex and compliant with IEEE 1329 Type 1.

The pod connects to a dedicated audio-over-IP network, where it pairs with a DM-NAX-AP-100 Intelligent Audio processor and other microphone or speaker pods. The processor handles the connection to a BYOM computer over USB-C. On the pod, a capacitive, backlit mute button with a red and green LED shows mute status, and an LED ring on top shows pairing, updating and error conditions.

It is powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 0) through a single RJ-45 port. The pod is for tabletop use only, with a black textured plastic housing, perforated stainless steel grilles and a die-cast aluminium bottom cover, and measures 33 mm high, 120 mm wide and 120 mm deep. Holding the reset button for 15 seconds clears the network settings.

Questions about the Crestron DM-NAX-POD-MIC

What is the Crestron DM-NAX-POD-MIC?

It is a PoE tabletop microphone pod for DM NAX Intelligent Audio conferencing. It has a 360 degree, 12-element array microphone with a 2.3 m pickup radius, and it pairs over the network with a DM-NAX-AP-100 Intelligent Audio processor, which is sold separately.

Does the DM-NAX-POD-MIC need the DM-NAX-AP-100?

Yes. The pod connects to a dedicated audio-over-IP network to pair with a DM-NAX-AP-100 Intelligent Audio processor, which is sold separately. The processor sends and receives audio to a BYOM computer over USB-C, and it can also work with other microphone or speaker pods.

How is the DM-NAX-POD-MIC powered?

It is powered by PoE through its single RJ-45 port, compliant with IEEE 802.3af Class 0 (12.95 W), from an IEEE 802.3af compliant Ethernet switch or third-party PoE source. The same port carries control and audio-over-IP traffic at 100 or 1000 Mbps.

What controls does the pod have?

It has a capacitive, backlit mic mute button with a red and green LED that shows whether the microphone is muted. A multicolour LED ring on the top panel indicates status conditions such as pairing, updating or errors, and holding the reset button for 15 seconds clears the network settings.

Does the DM-NAX-POD-MIC have a speaker?

No. It is a microphone-only pod. Crestron offers the DM-NAX-POD-MIC-SPK as a tabletop pod that combines a 12-element array microphone with a built-in speaker, and both pair with the DM-NAX-AP-100 Intelligent Audio processor.

How much is the Crestron DM-NAX-POD-MIC?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-NAX-POD-MIC 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-POD-MIC?

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

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