EtherSound audio networking
EtherSound is an open standard for networking digital audio and remote control protocols allowing products from multiple vendors to be interconnected economically using standard Ethernet cabling (CAT5, CAT6 or even fiber optic links) and components (switches).EtherSound provides bi-directional, deterministic, very low-latency (real-time) transmission of synchronized audio channels and control data over standard Ethernet. With the ES-100, 64 channels of 24-bit/48 kHz PCM audio, plus embedded control and monitoring data, are transported via a single cable. Depending on the sampling frequency other channel counts are possible, i.e. 32 channels at 96 kHz. Thanks to built-in clock recovery, an ultra low jitter ensures premium audio quality.
EtherSound is licensed to a growing number of pro audio manufacturers and is used by many mixing console manufacturers such as Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, InnovaSon and Yamaha.
