The NAI48-ES is a digital audio network interface that uses the EtherSound network protocol. Digital mixing consoles such as the Yamaha PM5D, M7CL, or LS9 can be connected to AD8HR 8-channel microphone preamp/AD converter or DA824 DA converter units via the NAI48-ES for remote analog input or output interfacing on stage or wherever needed. This type of system eliminates noise problems that are unavoidable with conventional analog console plus multi-cable type setups, and dramatically reduces microphone cable length for superior sound quality. Cabling between the console and "stage box" units is also simplified for fast,easy setup.
