About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron DMP 128 ProDSP Digital Matrix Processor.
In this guide, the DMP 128 may also be referred to as "the mixer" or "device."
About the DMP 128 Digital Matrix Processor
The Extron DMP 128 Digital Matrix Processor is a 12x8 audio mixer featuring
Extron ProDSP, automixing, and I/O expansion capabilities, and is available with
AEC - acoustic echo cancellation plus Dante™ audio networking. The DMP 128 offers
a configuration approach to DSP to simplify mixing, routing, conferencing, and room
optimization. Quick and intuitive configuration using the DSP Configurator Software allows
DMP 128 installation in very little time, with easy-to-learn adjustments heard in real-time.
A digital audio expansion port allows two DMP 128 units to be linked together to expand
input and output signal management and routing capabilities. The DMP 128 is ideal for
presentation and conferencing applications in boardrooms, courtrooms, and conference
centers that require advanced matrix mixing with DSP.
In addition, FlexInputs enable processing of Dante channels in place of the first four
inputs. A single Ethernet cable from one or several linked units to a central equipment rack
eliminates the need to pull one cable for each mic/line input.
The DMP 128 has no front panel controls. All configuration is performed using the
Extron DSP Configurator program from a host computer via any of the communication
ports; RS-232, USB, or Ethernet (high-speed ports recommended). Signal presence and
clip LEDs for the twelve input channels and eight output channels are on the front panel.

DMP 128 Application Diagram
Six models with 12 mic/line inputs, 8 outputs and Extron EXP expansion bus
Inputs — Twelve balanced or unbalanced mic/line level on 3.5 mm, 3-pole and 6-pole
captive screw connectors, eight with phantom power.
Outputs — Eight balanced or unbalanced line level on 3.5 mm, 6-pole captive screw
connectors.
FlexInput Channels — The first eight inputs provide FlexInput capability to route a
Dante channel in place of a local mic/line input. The flexible input selection enables
audio processing from remote wireless microphones, wallplates, and other sources from
anywhere on the Dante network.
