The NAB100 is the network audio expansion board for the CMX-A2 series DSP audio switches.  It is not a stand alone product, but must be installed in the CMX1608A2, CMX1616A2 or CMX3838A2.  Please select either factory installation or field installation when placing your order.  For factory installation, you will need to return your switch to our factory.  The installation takes 2-4 business days plus shipping time.  For field installation, the board will be shipped to your address and you will be responsible for installation.  Please review the installation manual before selecting this option to make sure you feel confident installing this product yourself.

Special NOTE:
We are continuously improving and adding capabilities to this product through new internal and 3rd party software.  All new features can be easily enabled by running our web updater and then selecting the desired features through the web config interface.  Some features on the website may be work in progress, and other new features may not be shown here.  Here is the latest NetPlay feature support matrix.

The total number of streaming channels possible will depend on both your network performance and the CPU utilization required by each audio format.  Each streaming audio channel takes from 0.2 to 1.7 MBps network bandwidth.  Current CPU performance is around 9% per stereo channel with encryption and lossless compression enabled (less if these are not used).  A typically 54MBps wireless network without strong interference can handle about 8 concurrent high quality audio channels without frequent disruptions.
