AtlasIED HPA-DAC Series Dante Network Audio Accessory Cards for HPA Amplifiers

AtlasIED's HPA-DAC2, HPA-DAC4, and HPA-DAC8 are Dante®-enabled accessory cards designed to extend the network audio capabilities of HPA Series amplifiers. These receivers provide high-quality digital audio transport over standard IP networks and are tailored for 2-, 4-, and 8-channel amplifier configurations respectively.

Each card adds additional Dante inputs while retaining the amplifier’s analog inputs, which are electronically isolated and summed internally. The analog and Dante input levels for each channel are controlled using the amplifier’s front-panel level controls. This architecture supports flexible integration in commercial and professional AV systems where both analog and network audio coexist.
