d&b audiotechnik reinforces its Milan range with new devices

At the Milan range of d&b audiotechnik now includes DS22, an audio network bridge; DS1, a USB to Milan interface; the 5DM amplifier, y DN2, an AVB switch, everything to create expandable audio systems, resilient and future-ready.

d&b audiotechnik has raised the level of professional audio network connection with the presentation of four new products enabled for Milan. These developments underscore the company's continued commitment to open standards, reliability and seamless integration.

These new features are now included in the Milan range: DS22, an audio network bridge; DS1, a USB to Milan interface; the amplifier 5DM for Milan; y DN2, an AVB switch. All of them very powerful tools that allow users create expandable audio systems, resilient and future-ready.

At the core of these products is Milan-AVB, the open networking standard that offers accurate results, low latency and interoperability between devices. By eliminating the need for proprietary conversions and enabling truly plug and play, gives audio professionals the clarity and confidence they need.

Milan networks automatically reserve only the bandwidth that is needed, maintain precise synchronization to the nanosecond and operate without the need to manually configure computing. The result is a Robust and predictable workflow allowing users to focus on sound instead of network settings.

The Audio Network Bridge DS22 simplifies input management in Milan-based audio systems, con sixteen AES3 digital input channels, four of which can be switched to analog.

It is a Milan enabled switch, with five ports and flexible input options that make it perfect for connecting mixers at festivals or venues with Milan compatible amplifiers.

Located near the FoH table, it is device 1 RU expand your workflow (d&b workflow) to include the input device and provide a familiar and protected operating environment in touring and fixed installations.

DS1 is a USB to Milan interface allowing direct playback and recording of audio from PC and Mac to Milan devices and amplifiers. It is compact and robust, perfect for systems and FoH technicians, as well as for creatives.

Dual network interfaces support redundant audio streaming, while the intuitive configuration of the interface and its ease of use make the Milan network more accessible. The updates of the firmware are done through Milan Manager, the software that simplifies the configuration and management of Milan-AVB networks, ensuring continued compatibility and performance.

He 5DM compact installation amplifier, four-channel and Class D, It is designed so that you can use with d series speakers&b, which include the E ranges, xS, xC y T, In addition to the new passive models of the series U.

The 5DM model includes advanced digital signal processing (DSP) for specific speaker configurations; a wide range switching power supply mode with active power factor correction and comprehensive protection functions, and system management.

with two streams Primary Milan with eight channels each, four analog inputs and flexible routing, 5DM offers efficient and reliable amplification, plus effortless integration into various configurations.

For your part, DN2 is the only Milan-AVB switch Designed specifically to integrate with the networked speakers of the new U series of d&b. These characteristics make it ideal for use in demanding applications and in immersive audio environments.

Con eight PoE++ ports that offer up to 90 W per port, DN2 can power U-series networked speakers using a single cable. Reliable and convenient operation is guaranteed thanks to zero configuration required, the execution plug and play, optimized deployment of feedback Intuitive error detection and integration with D's R1 remote control software&b.

“With this expansion of the product portfolio, we don't just add products; We are facilitating new possibilities - he emphasizes Daniel Zimmerman, d product manager&b audiotechnik-. “Milan’s deterministic results and open standard architecture allow users to create systems that are flexible and also future-proof.”.

Whether the requirement is for immersive applications or d&b Soundscape or facilities that pose many challenges, “Milan-AVB will work without problems. And with the Milan Manager software, complex signal flows can also be easily configured”, Zimmermann points out..

The new Milan products will be available in the first quarter of this year and will be exhibited during the participation of d&b one WHEREAS 2026, of the 3 al 6 February in Barcelona (pavilion 7 – stand E190).
