Backnang, Germany (February 2, 2026)—d&b audiotechnik launched four new Milan-enabled products at the NAMM Show: the DS22 audio network bridge, DS1 USB Milan interface, 5DM Milan amplifier and DN2 AVB switch.
The DS22 audio network bridge streamlines input management for Milan-based audio systems with 16 AES3 digital input channels, four of which can be switched to analog. A Milan-enabled five-port switch and flexible input options support connecting mixing consoles at festivals or venues with Milan-ready amplifiers.
The DS1 USB Milan interface enables direct audio playback and recording from PCs and Macs to Milan devices and amplifiers. Dual network interfaces support redundant audio streaming, while firmware updates via Milan Manager—the software that simplifies the setup and management of Milan-AVB networks—ensure continued compatibility and performance.
