DHD has launched DHD Discovery, a tray utility for finding network-connected DHD audio production devices. Announced in Leipzig on 15 July 2026, the free app is available now for everyone working with DHD systems. It is designed for initial installation and later configuration of DHD audio mixing systems.
Discovery uses Multicast DNS to watch the network for DHD devices as they come online. The app can show DHD cores, RM1 broadcast-from-anywhere interfaces and audio-over-IP devices connected through AES67/Ravenna or Dante. It can also open a device's web apps with a single click.
The utility sits alongside the established DHD Toolbox application in DHD's software ecosystem. Discovery is positioned as a lighter quick-look companion for locating devices on production networks before deeper configuration work.
DHD audio GmbH develops digital audio studio equipment for professional broadcast applications. Its platform spans routing matrices, talkback matrices, audio-over-IP interfaces and supporting software. DHD Discovery is scheduled for demonstration at the 2026 International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam.
