EtherSound Network

• Overview

10
EtherSound

• High quality audio Network (push audio).
• 64 channels 24bit/48kHz.
• Very low latency transmission.
• Standard Internet Hardware.
• Infinite number of connected devices.
• Bi-directional status control data.

11
EtherSound Network For Fixed Installations

• Background/foreground music and live
  announcements multi-zone audio distribution.
• Point-to-point signal transfer over long
  distances.
• Lower installation costs than analog
  systems,standard Ethernet cabling, daisy-chain
  architecture, competitive cost per network node.
• Increased flexibility for system
  re-configuration.

12
EtherSound Network for Live Sound

• Audio distribution for mobile installations.
• Near to real-time, very low latency (125µsec _at_
  48kHz).
• Quick and easy system set up using standard
  Ethernet cables.
