The LD Systems X-EDAI Ethernet & Dante Audio Interface expansion card, extends the control options of the IPA DSP installation power amplifiers by enabling them to be configured and controlled remotely, over a network, in conjunction with LD Systems QUESTRA® software as well as easy integration of the IPA series into existing Dante audio networks.

The X-EDAI Ethernet Control expansion card has two IP network ports: Whilst the 100 Mbps Ethernet port provides control and DSP the second port can be used to transmit and receive four incoming and four outgoing Dante audio channels. The configuration and routing of the Dante audio channels is done as standard in the Audinate Dante Controller software.

The asymmetrical pin arrangement of the X-EDAI expansion card prevents accidental incorrect installation and a status LED and IP reset button are provided for quick and easy troubleshooting.

The QUESTRA® software enables access to all DSP settings of the IPA installation power amplifier, not normally accessible via the amplifier itself. This includes signal processing at the input (preamp, compressor, etc.), signal flow in the matrix mixer, output processing (EQ, dynamics, delay, polarity, mute) to priority settings and preset management.

Customised control panels can also be created in the QUESTRA® software, which can be used by end customers on smartphones, tablets or computers (via the QUESTRA® Panels app) for convenient control of their system.

A dedicated, wall mounted. QUESTRA Touchscreen Display panel is also available for end-user control.
