Atlasied HPA-DAC8 8-input Dante Audio Card Hpa Amp

Product Description

The ATLASIED HPA-DAC8 is an 8-input Dante network audio card designed for installation into compatible HPA series amplifiers. It expands the amplifier's input capability by adding Dante protocol audio networking, allowing audio signals to be routed over a standard Ethernet infrastructure. This card is intended for installation by qualified AV systems integrators and audio technicians working on commercial sound reinforcement, paging, or distributed audio systems. The HPA-DAC8 enables IP-based audio distribution without requiring dedicated analog wiring runs between sources and amplifiers, simplifying large-scale or multi-zone installations.

The HPA-DAC8 is suited for commercial and institutional applications where Dante-networked audio is required. Typical install scenarios include conference centers, houses of worship, educational facilities, and transportation hubs that rely on HPA series amplifiers as part of a larger distributed audio system. It slots directly into the HPA amplifier to add network audio inputs without replacing the host unit.

Key Features

• 8 discrete Dante network audio inputs per card
• Integrates with HPA series amplifiers for IP-based audio routing
• Enables audio distribution over standard Ethernet infrastructure
• Eliminates long analog signal runs in multi-zone commercial systems
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for per-amplifier expansion

Compatibility

Designed for installation in ATLASIED HPA series amplifiers that support Dante expansion card slots. Confirm slot availability and firmware compatibility with the host HPA amplifier before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified AV integrator or audio technician familiar with Dante network audio systems. Power down the host HPA amplifier completely before inserting or removing the card. Network configuration, including device discovery and channel routing, is managed through Audinate Dante Controller software on the connected Ethernet network. Follow the host amplifier manufacturer guidelines and applicable local electrical codes when integrating into an installed system.
