Saros® 3 in. Active Full-Range In-Ceiling PoE+ Speaker with DM NAX® Audio-over-IP Support, White, Textured
Complete your installation with Crestron speakers. The SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W is an in-ceiling, PoE+, Audio-over-IP speaker with a Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) transducer, offering broad coverage angles and simple installation.
Saros® speakers by Crestron deliver professional grade performance and flexible installation in a range of popular sizes for demanding commercial applications.
The SAROS DM‑NAX‑IC4A‑W in-ceiling, PoE+, Audio-over-IP (AoIP) speaker with a Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) transducer offers broad coverage angles and simple installation. A single 2.83 in. (72 mm) BMR transducer drives the entire 80 Hz to 24 kHz frequency range, with coverage angles exceeding the capabilities of a traditional conical, pistonic woofer and concentric tweeter. One SAROS DM‑NAX‑IC4A‑W also powers up to three SAROS IC4P‑W speakers (sold separately) to act as the hub of a four-speaker system.
Audio-over-IP
The SAROS DM‑NAX‑IC4A‑W receives up to four channels of DM NAX audio-over-IP or AES67 encoded audio over a standard IP network. DM NAX devices can also receive the audio stream from DM NVX A/V-over-IP devices, and are interoperable with Dante audio devices via the AES67 compatibility mode enabled through Dante Controller® software. The speaker features a built-in 25.5 W PoE+ audio amplifier that drives the local BMR transducer and provides power to three additional SAROS IC4P‑W passive speakers.
Digital Signal Processing
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capabilities such as bass and treble boost and cut, speaker protection and limiting, a full 10-band EQ per output, and output delay can be configured through the web configuration interface. In addition to the audio channel that feeds the local BMR transducer, each RJ-45 output has a discrete audio channel for a total of four channels of available audio processing.
Simple and Clean Installation
The speaker is designed for quick and easy installation and years of reliable performance. Its unobtrustive and contemporary grille achieves an appearance well-suited for use in restaurants, retail spaces, houses of worship, universities, and office buildings. Installing the grille requires no hardware or tools, utilizing powerful magnets to hold it in place.
Mounting the speaker is facilitated using swiveling mounting dogs integrated into the enclosure. The mounting dogs feature two positions to accommodate standard and extra thick surfaces up to 2.4 in. (61 mm). A tile bridge is included to provide proper support when installed in a typical drop-tile ceiling. The tile bridge is adjustable to enable off-center speaker positioning, and can be folded to fit through the speaker cutout. A rigging point is also provided on the speaker enclosure for securing to the building structure using an optional safety tether kit (SPKA‑ST‑15, sold separately).
Plenum Rated
The speaker is housed in an integral metal back can, which meets the requirements of UL® 2043 for installation in a plenum space. The wiring connections are accessible behind rear cover panels. Three connections for additional passive speakers are available to expand the total audio coverage area.
