Peavey Commercial Audio powers up Crest Audio Stage 2x2D DI Network Audio Interface

Peavey Commercial Audio’s new Crest Audio Stage 2x2D Direct Injection Network Audio Interface is a DI box, PoE - Dante/AES67 capable pro-audio A-D/D-A interface, designed with future proof network audio streaming connectivity and supporting high-quality, low-noise extended dynamic range microphone, Line level and Hi-Z instrument pre-amplifiers.

From large arena touring events to permanent installation theaters, the Stage 2x2D is designed to make DI signal connections fast and easy. In the studio, the 2x2D can be used for any recording or post-production needs. On large network audio installations such as hotels, performance arts and convention centers, the Crest Audio 2x2D will provide solid performance day in and day out, according to the developer.

The Stage 2x2D has an analog microphone input featuring a -60 to +4 dBu and +24 gain range “without pads”. On the front panel, Signal Present and Peak LEDs allow for fast, accurate setup with optimal headroom (20 dB at all settings) and low noise. An adjacent switch allows the user to apply +48 V phantom power at the Mic input via a combo XLR/TRS 1/4 inch connector.

A headphone output selection switch allows for monitoring of either the Hi-Z or Mic/Line signals. The Hi-Z input is capable of being directly connected to backline amplifiers capable of accepting high signal levels from 70 V distributed power amplifier sound systems. The Line input pre-amp can operate across a continuous setting range of -40 to +24 dBu, with a max of +44 dBu.

The 1 milliohm Hi-Z/instrument input is suited for classic guitar pickups. When the signal goes out, the Inputs, Mic/Line, or Hi-Z are converted from analog to digital and routed as a Dante or AES67 network audio stream, with two “Network Return” channels available as line level outputs.

The Stage 2x2D is PoE powered (IEEE 802.3 af/at) via a network switch or PoE injector. For the installation, a 1U single or dual rack mount is available and housed in a robust aluminum extruded case with recessed protected controls and connectors. Removable rubber protective “bumpers” are suitable for touring applications.
