Klark Teknik KT-DN9652-UL Dual Network Bridge Format Converter

$2,399.00

The Klark Teknik DN9652 Digital Audio Network Bridge provides a multichannel interface between two 3rd-party digital audio networks and point-to-point interfaces. The 3rd-party interfaces operate in separate clock domains and are connected by a bidirectional asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC). This technology allows the interfacing of up to 64 bidirectional channels between two independently clocked domains, which can also operate at different sampler rates.

The DN9652 is future-proof by being able to support new and emerging protocols via its two expansion slots, which are compatible with Cirrus CM-1 format, offering compatibility with Klark Teknik KT-AES50, KT-DANTE64, KT-MADI and KT-USB network modules.

The DN9650 features status LED indicators for both 3rd-party network domains, Ethernet control port activity, and the ASRC bypass and bidirectional output clock inhibit functions on the front panel for ‘at a glance’ status display, even at wide distances and viewing angles. The rear panel features two network slots which are compatible with the optional Klark Teknik KT-MADI and KT-Dante64 modules, while word clock inputs and outputs, as well as video black burst sync use Neutrik BNC connectors. The onboard web server allows for platform-independent configuration using a web browser application, allowing for simple user selection of network module and DN9652 settings, including 3rd-party network domain sample rate and clock synchronization options and the ASRC bypass and bidirectional output clock inhibit functions.

About the Klark Teknik KT-DN9652-UL Dual Network Bridge Format Converter

The Klark Teknik KT-DN9652-UL is an advanced, dual-format audio network bridge designed for high-capacity, bi-directional conversion between various professional audio networking standards. It functions as a critical interoperability hub in complex audio infrastructures, allowing seamless communication between Dante, Ravenna/AES67, and AES50 network domains. This dual-engine device can operate as two independent bridges or be linked for high-channel-count tasks, providing exceptional flexibility for system designers needing to integrate equipment from different technological ecosystems.

With the capacity to handle up to 128 bidirectional audio channels at sample rates up to 96 kHz, the unit is engineered for large-scale applications in broadcast, live sound, and fixed installation environments. Each conversion path features ultra-low, deterministic latency and high-quality sample rate conversion, ensuring pristine audio quality and perfect synchronization when merging streams from disparate network clocks. The device’s processing transparency makes it ideal for mission-critical applications where audio integrity and timing are paramount.

Housed in a robust 1U rackmount chassis, the KT-DN9652-UL features dual, hot-swappable power supplies for maximum reliability and redundant network ports for primary and secondary Dante streams. Configuration and monitoring are performed via an intuitive front-panel display and navigation controls or through dedicated software. By offering dual, configurable conversion engines in a single unit, this bridge provides a powerful, scalable, and fault-tolerant solution for building robust, hybrid audio networks.
