Details
Controls: Front-panel standard/detailed modes; browser-based remote control via Ethernet, independent of DAWs and OS
I/O: Dante primary interface + AES3 digital PCM I/O on DB25 (AES59 pin-out); optional breakout cable to 4x male XLR + 4x female XLR; hardware relay AES3 fail-safe bypass
Notable use: Broadcast and live sound: theatres, concert halls, conference venues, houses of worship; first CEDAR DNS with Dante, supports Dante redundant mode; AES3 latency <10 samples (<0.2ms @48kHz)
Notes: device_class set to 'Hardware Effects' - FLAGGED per guidance. connection_bus listed as 'Dante' since it is the unit's headline interface, but the unit also carries AES3 (dual bus) - see io_summary. 1U rackmount, 20cm depth, 3kg; power 90-260VAC auto-sensing + 12VDC 4-pin, per official brochure (support.cedaraudio.com/downloads/brochure_dns8_2021.pdf). price_usd is B&H Photo street price ($8,999) vs. an older $10K figure cited in 2019 trade press - used the more current B&H figure - FLAGGED basis (CEDAR itself is POA/dealer-network pricing). year_intro 2019 per CEDAR's own DNS 8D announcement news post (dns8dannouncement11sep19).
