{"product_id":"adastra-dm-8-rack-mount-digital-messaging-unit","title":"Adastra DM-8 Rack-Mount Digital Messaging Unit","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Adastra DM-8 is a 1U rack-mount digital messaging unit built for scheduled audio playback. Audio files sit on a removable SD card, which you can load by inserting the card into a PC or by recording directly on the unit. Schedules are held on the same SD media as a separate file, so you can edit them on a computer and keep a backup. You can also prepare several SD cards with different messages and schedules, then swap them in for different routines through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get up to 99 audio tracks and up to 99 schedule events stored on the card, each set by 24 hour time and the day or days of the week. The free PC software lets you build and edit schedules away from the unit. A mic\/line input handles recording or live announcements and can override SD playback, with phantom power (+20V) available for condenser mics. A separate BGM line input takes background music with its own level control, and it mutes automatically when messages play or during paging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnections cover a paging mic\/line input on XLR or terminals, a BGM input on RCA (phono), and a mono output on balanced terminal or unbalanced RCA. Trigger contacts for Message 1 to 8, Stop and Ground let you fire specific files from external switches. The unit runs from 100-240Vac at 50\/60Hz or 24Vdc, so it fits mains or DC installs, and it accepts 4-32GB FAT32 SD cards, full size or via adaptor. The DM-8 adds automated timed announcements, music or audio alerts to any sound system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100-240Vac, 50\/60Hz or 24Vdc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT1AL 250V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaging mic\/line (XLR or terminals), BGM (RCA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMono balanced terminal or unbalanced RCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal SD card player\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTime setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99 programmable schedules - 24 hour + day(s) setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMic\/line channel controls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMic\/Line level, Phantom power on\/off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhantom power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+20V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2k Ohms (mic\/line)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage\/Rec, Mic, Clock Set, Schedule, Message 1-8, Output, Power on\/off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMessage 1-8, Stop \u0026amp; Ground contacts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD card requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-32GB FAT32 (full size or with adaptor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e483mm x 150mm x 44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.65KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/953053UK_13e89bad-3cd9-4ff1-b38c-daca62980011.pdf?v=1785057763\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many audio tracks and schedules can the DM-8 store?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stores up to 99 audio tracks and up to 99 schedule events on the SD card, each set by 24 hour time and the day or days of the week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat SD cards does the DM-8 accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes 4-32GB FAT32 SD cards, either full size or a smaller card fitted with an adaptor.
