It’s the second Dante-enabled amplifier from the company following the NPA100DA that was released in May. “Whether integrators are working in the corporate market or completing a home audio project, distributing audio over a Dante-managed network is often becoming the best fit for design, budget, and performance expectations,” says Bluestram general manager Martyn Shirley. “The NPA70DA and NPA100DA can be used to overcome a number of challenges presented in remote installations.”
The NPA70DA can be powered via PoE++ from a compatible network switch or locally should the switch not support PoE++. The unit also includes the ability to lower the amplifier power output subject to PoE capabilities, support for combined or independent LAN and Dante connections, DSP with a 31 band EQ, audio delay for lip sync correction, and control via front panel, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, web-GUI or 12V trigger.
