LD Systems X-EDAI - Ethernet & Dante Audio Interface Expansion Card for IPA Series

With the X-EDAI Ethernet & Dante Audio Interface expansion card, LD Systems is adding a Dante audio interface with four inputs and outputs to the capabilities of the X-ECI Ethernet Control expansion card. This means that X-EDAI offers both remote control and access to the DSP settings of LD Systems IPA DSP installation power amps, as well as easy integration of the IPA series into existing Dante audio networks.

In conjunction with the LD Systems QUESTRA® software, the X-EDAI interface card provides flexible and effective configuration and control of audio installations of various sizes in hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, sports facilities, office environments and more.

The X-EDAI Ethernet Control expansion card has two IP network ports. While the 100 Mbps Ethernet port enables control and DSP access to the IPA installation power amp, the second port can transmit and receive four incoming and outgoing Dante audio channels. The configuration and routing of the Dante audio channels is done by default in the Audinate Dante Controller software.

Furthermore, the X-EDAI expansion card has a status LED and an IP reset button for quick and easy troubleshooting. Thanks to the asymmetrical pin arrangement of the card, it is not possible to accidentally install the interface card incorrectly in the IPA housing.

The QUESTRA® software gives system integrators access to all the DSP settings of the IPA installation power amplifier. The possibilities range from signal processing at the input (preamp, compressor, etc.) to the signal flow in the matrix mixer, output processing (EQ, dynamics, delay, polarity, mute), priority settings and preset management. In addition, the QUESTRA® software allows you to create customized control panels that end users can access on smartphones, tablets or computers (via the QUESTRA® Panels app) for convenient control of their system.
