Leading loudspeaker systems manufacturer, d&b audiotechnik, has announced it has joined the AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium that fosters the adoption of AVB/TSN (Audio Video Bridging/TimeSensitive Networking) protocols and an open ecosystem of certified products.
According to d&b Product Manager, Vicent Perales the move is a logical step for the company and he commented the following: “d&b is known to be a supporter of open standards, such as OCA (Open Control Architecture, recently ratified by the Audio Engineering Society as AES70). Joining the AVnu Alliance and supporting AVB/TSN as open audio transport protocols is another good fit for us.”
AVB/TSN is a set of open standards developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and represents an evolution of standardEthernet to support production quality audio and video, and control data. AVB/TSN provides major performance and reliability improvements while enabling a healthy, multi-vendor ecosystem.
Vicent later continued that besides offering interconnectivity solutions for other relevant audio networking protocols, such as Dante, d&b constantly strive to drive technology forward within the industry, and for this reason d&b have committed to support AVB/TSN by joining the AVnu Alliance as a Promoter member.
Gary Stuebing, AVnu Alliance President“, is delighted to welcome d&b to the consortium and stated the following: “d&b has earned its reputation as one of the world’s top high end PA suppliers thanks to the consistently high quality of their products and their perpetual desire to innovate. The company’s decision to join the AVnu Alliance alongside similarly high-caliber pro audio companies is proof-positive of d&b’s forward thinking philosophy. The move further ratifies AVnu’s position at thevanguard of interoperable, open standards-based networking technology.”
