Marshall Electronics has announced the AR-DM61-BT multichannel digital audio monitor, a 1U-high unit capable of monitoring up to 64 channels of audio vertically, or two detailed audio channels horizontally. The design includes stereo speakers with a max level of 100dB and a live video confidence monitor.

The AR-DM61-BT has two dedicated 3GSDI inputs with loop through (Madi compatible), and one additional HDMI input. It has four stereo AES inputs and outputs, supports eight channels on ‘D’ input and output (-10dB or +4dB switchable), and has speakers powerful enough to be heard even in a noisy control room environment. The 10-inch LCD touchscreen panel uses Loudness, K-weighted, relative to full scale (LKFS) bars and peak indicators, and is the first-of-its-kind to include a live video confidence monitor.

The minotor is fully compatible with the latest Dolby and Dante formats, and has a built-in web server for software updates, and storing and retrieving presets, making it a ‘future proof’ solution. It is AES67 compliant and accepts inputs from multiple signal types with format conversion and matrix routing.

‘The AR-DM61-BT is an ideal audio/video QC solution for TV stations, broadcast trucks, transfer stations, house of worship facilities and any other production broadcast that needs a dedicated audio monitor,’ says Marshall Electronics Global Sales Manager, Bernie Keach. ‘The AR-DM61-BT is a unique solution in that it is more than just a rack-mounted multi-track audio monitor; it serves as a live confidence video monitor and also comes with speakers for convenient onsite audio monitoring.’
