Overview   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Designed using NST second-generation DSP designs, the VMO16 brings no-compromise audio performance and system control 
to Dante networked audio installations. 
 
The VMO16 brings all the benefits and experience of our live sound filters and dynamics algorithms to an installation product. 
The 16 inputs from the Dante network go to a full 16x16 matrix mixer allowing any of the Dante networked inputs to be routed 
to any analogue output channel. All of the 16 analogue outputs have 16 bands of parametric EQ, 48dB/Oct high and low pass 
filters, up to 1.3 seconds of delay as well as our high performance, two-stage PXL limiters for high performance loudspeaker 
protection. 
 
All analogue audio connections are on Phoenix-type 3-pin 5.08mm pitch connectors. The 4 GPI connections allow configurable 
actions such as fire alarm mutes and preset recalls. Up to 30 presets can be stored with recall options allowing selective recall 
combinations of input, matrix and output sections. 
 
Our D-Net control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives you complete control over ethernet and wifi. The VMO16 is also fully 
compatible with our VR1 PoE remote control panel for simple, flexible user control. Control via third party systems such as 
Crestron™ is available via our simple ethernet control protocol.
