The SoundTube IPD-Hub 2 is a Dante-enabled, PoE-powered 2-channel DSP amplifier designed for scalable, network-based audio distribution in small to mid-sized commercial environments. Offering an advanced alternative to traditional 70V/100V systems, the IPD-Hub 2 enables seamless audio delivery and multi-zone control across a variety of spaces including retail stores, restaurants, hotels, spas, and educational facilities.
With local and Dante inputs, the IPD-Hub 2 integrates easily into IP-based AV systems without requiring an external DSP. The built-in DSP provides input mixing, equalization, and optimized tuning for ceiling, pendant, and in-wall speakers. Featuring priority paging, the unit is ideal for facilities requiring background music alongside scheduled announcements or emergency broadcasts.
The IPD-Hub 2 supports remote volume and source control through the SoundTube RVC-1, making it an excellent solution for multi-room installations where simple user control is essential. Setup is fast and user-friendly via STNet Control Center software, allowing fine-tuned configuration over the network.
