Control Software for Windows & macOS

DADman is a software application for control of the DAD AD/DA converters. DADman v.5.x can run on both Windows or MAC OS X operating systems. DADman 5.x supports control of the following products:

  • DAD AX Center
  • DAD Core 256
  • DAD AX64
  • DAD AX32
  • DAD DX32
  • DAD AX24
  • NTP Penta 720
  • NTP Penta 721s

Features

  • Complete control of the interface parameters
  • A/D Analogue Input and Mic pre control
  • D/A output level control
  • Routing Matrix control
  • Settings configuration
  • Controls multiple units
  • Avid(TM) Eucon and PRE compatible
  • Flexible Monitor control configuration
  • PRO | MON monitor control (optional)
  • Cue | Mix zero latency mixer

It is also possible to clone (copy) settings from one unit to another. Either between two connected units or by extracting the settings from a settings file and applying these to a connected unit. Cloning is only allowed between units within the same family. The following 3 family groups exist:

  • MTRX, AX32, DX32, Penta 720, Penta 721 and Penta 721s
  • MTRX II, AX64, AX Center and Core 256
  • MTRX Studio

Ideally the 2 units should be identical in configuration (same type of cards in the same slots). All settings for cards in the target unit, that do not have a similar card present in the same slot position in the settings source, will be set to factory default values.
