The AZM8-D is the central processing engine for multi-zone commercial audio installations, designed for spaces requiring independent zone control, messaging, and sound masking integration. Built around a powerful DSP core with Dante audio networking, it handles source mixing, zone routing, and audio processing without external processors. The unit accepts up to 14 audio sources and outputs to 8 independent zones, each with its own processing chain, while additional Dante outputs extend the system into larger networked environments.

Installation and control are simplified through accessory ports that daisy-chain up to 16 wall controllers, remote audio inputs, ambient noise sensors, and zone paging stations across distances up to 1000 feet. A progressive web app interface—accessible via QR code, direct URL, or built-in Wi-Fi—eliminates the need for separate control apps or vendor-specific software. Features include message playback, sound masking tools, room combining, auto-gain compensation, loud noise detection, and GPIO integration for alarm system triggers.

The AZM8-D is the choice for hospitality, education, corporate, and healthcare facilities where zone independence, flexible control, and integrated audio processing reduce external gear and installation complexity. Dante networking enables seamless expansion with other networked audio devices, while compatibility with RTI, Crestron, Extron, and AMX control systems ensures integration into existing automation infrastructures.
