Description Renne 2015-07-22 07:51:09 UTC

Because of competing proprietary Audio-over-IP protocols in professional sound applications, the Audio Engineering Society developed the AES67 standard in 2013 to ensure interoperability between audio devices (sinks, sources, etc.).

An AES67 module affords professional users and consumers to use IP networks for audio distribution. Professional users can e.g. create stage and building set-ups while consumers can create an audio distribution-network in their home (e.g. cheap Ethernet). AES67 is focused on low-latency (7 ms) AND high-quality audio which would e.g. allow to use AES67 installation power-amplifiers for e.g. audiophile surround set-ups or audiophile multi-room solutions.

In the AES67-protocol any source can be linked to any sink which is great for multi-room set-ups with cheap Ethernet wiring/switches (100Base-T/1000Base-T). It is possible to use point-to-multipoint multicast transmissions via RTP only or point-to-point unicast connections via the Session-Initiation-Protocol.

AES67-compatible products are RAVENNA, Livewire, Q-LAN and Dante.
