Description

The Klark Teknik DN9650 Digital Audio Network Bridge provides a multichannel interface between AES50 networks and 3rd-party digital audio networks and point-to-point interfaces. The AES50 and 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 DN9650 is future-proof by being able to support new and emerging protocols via its expansion slot, which is compatible with Cirrus CM-1 format, offering compatibility with Klark Teknik KT-AES50, KT-DANTE64, KT-MADI and KT-USB network modules. The DN9650 works with all Midas Pro Series digital consoles, Midas digital I/O hardware, and other 96 kHz-enabled AES50 devices with Dante, MADI and USB 2.0 connections. The DN9650 features status LED indicators for AES50 and network synchronization, 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 utilizes Neutrik etherCON connectors for the three AES50 ports and the Ethernet control port, 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 DN9650 settings, including AES50 and third-party network domain sample rates, clock synchronization for both domains and the ASRC bypass and bidirectional output clock inhibit functions.This product is fulfilled and shipped by a third-party supplier. Delivery timelines are estimated and may vary. Please allow up to 10–14 business days for order processing and fulfillment. Read more

About the Klark Teknik DN9650-UL AES50 Network Bridge Format Converter with up to 64 Bidirectional Channels and Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion

The Klark Teknik DN9650-UL is a high-performance professional audio bridge designed for bidirectional format conversion between the AES50 SuperMAC protocol and standard audio networking technologies. Its primary role is to interconnect disparate digital audio systems, allowing equipment from different manufacturers and technological generations to coexist and communicate within a unified audio infrastructure. By translating audio data, synchronization signals, and control information, it effectively removes compatibility barriers in complex production environments.

This unit is particularly critical for integrating mixing consoles and stageboxes that utilize the AES50 interface—commonly found in certain digital mixer ecosystems—with Dante, AES67, and MADI networks. It supports channel counts up to 96 bidirectional channels at high sample rates, ensuring no compromise on audio quality during the conversion process. The device operates with extremely low, deterministic latency, making it suitable for live sound reinforcement, broadcast, and recording applications where timing is paramount.

Housed in a robust 1U rackmount chassis, the DN9650-UL features comprehensive connectivity options and a clear front-panel display for configuration and status monitoring. Its built-in sample rate converters and flexible clocking options provide exceptional synchronization stability. This network bridge is an indispensable tool for system designers and engineers who need to create scalable, hybrid audio networks that leverage the strengths of multiple digital audio standards simultaneously.
