DHD launched the MX3 modular IP audio control console at IBC, featuring Ethernet-based networking and support for AES67, Dante, and SMPTE 2110 protocols. The company also introduced AI-based noise reduction technology from ai-coustics as an optional upgrade for its XD3 processors to enhance audio clarity in live broadcast environments.
The transition from proprietary protocols to standard IP networking in the MX3 signifies a broader industry move toward interoperable, software-defined hardware. By utilizing SMPTE 2110 and Dante, DHD allows engineers to scale production environments without replacing entire console frames, reducing long-term capital expenditure. The integration of ai-coustics technology also marks a shift where real-time AI processing becomes a standard hardware utility rather than a post-production luxury. This modular approach directly addresses the needs of distributed broadcast teams who require remote control over centralized processing assets. Watch for how quickly existing Series 52 users migrate to the MX3 architecture to leverage these networking efficiencies.
The MX3 launch follows a wider trend of IP ecosystem expansion among major audio console manufacturers, as firms look to replace legacy hardware with flexible, network-native alternatives. This shift toward modular IP networking is a key theme for production hardware at IBC 2026.
DHD has launched the MX3 modular IP audio console, which replaces legacy protocols with standard Ethernet-based networking. By supporting AES67, Dante, and SMPTE 2110, the system offers broadcasters greater operational flexibility. The integration of ai-coustics noise reduction further enables real-time signal repair, marking a significant shift toward software-defined, interoperable broadcast hardware.
The DHD MX3 supports AES67, Dante, and SMPTE 2110 protocols, utilizing standard IP networking instead of the legacy APC protocol.
The MX3 uses a modular architecture that allows broadcasters to decouple control surfaces from remote processing cores, enabling easier scaling of production environments without replacing entire console frames.
The system offers optional AI-based noise reduction powered by ai-coustics for XD3 Quad Core processors, allowing for up to three parallel stereo instances of AI processing on a single core.
Alongside the Series 52 firmware 10.4 update, DHD introduced new Discovery, Routing, and MIDI applications.
