The DPA N-DR1 represents the next evolution in professional digital wireless, bringing DPA's legendary sonic transparency into a fully modern networked system. Designed for uncompromising fidelity and intuitive control, the N-DR1 integrates true-diversity reception, Dante networking, and premium audio architecture into a compact dual-channel receiver built for demanding broadcast, live sound, and corporate environments. Please note that this configuration of the N-DR1 only supports digital Dante connections and does not offer XLR analog outputs.
Exceptional Clarity, Born Digital
The N-Series is fully digital from end to end—engineered for 24-bit transparency, wide dynamic range, and zero analog compromise. Featuring true 126 dB of measured dynamic range and under 3ms of latency, the N-DR1 preserves every nuance of your source with remarkable precision and immediacy.
Wideband Flexibility, Global Readiness
Operating across an ultrawide 470 to 916 MHz range, the N-DR1 provides unmatched channel agility, simplifying frequency coordination even in congested RF environments. Its innovative equal-distance design ensures clean channel spacing at just 500 kHz intervals, supporting exceptional spectral efficiency and up to 800 possible channels under ideal conditions.
True Diversity Reception
Each of the N-DR1's antenna inputs is connected to its own discrete RF circuitry, guaranteeing reliable signal integrity without the compromises of antenna-diversity designs. This architecture maximizes stability and minimizes dropouts—vital for mission-critical performance in live production and broadcast applications.
Dante Networking
Equipped with Dante audio over IP, the N-DR1 provides both Switched and Redundancy network modes for fail-safe digital transmission, while the built-in LAN switch allows effortless daisy-chaining of up to four receivers. Selectable sample rates include 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz.
Secure and Reliable Operation
With AES-256 encryption, the N-Series ensures that all transmissions remain private-ideal for corporate, governmental, or confidential applications. Antenna inputs supply power for active antennas and include active loop-through for multi-receiver configurations.
Intelligent Control with DPA Audio Controller
The included DPA Audio Controller software offers full monitoring and configuration from PC or Mac, with intuitive Monitor & Control and Frequency Management windows. A built-in wideband spectrum analyzer (470 to 916 MHz) simplifies frequency coordination and provides real-time system visibility.
Engineered for the Audio Professional
A front-panel headphone output with selectable modes and volume control, comprehensive audio metering with overload indicators, and IR sync for transmitter pairing make setup straightforward and reliable. Open LAN protocols (TCP/UDP) allow easy third-party integration for networked audio environments.
