Frequently asked questions
Audio-over-IP (AoIP) is the transmission of digital audio over a standard IP network, such as Ethernet, instead of dedicated audio cables. It enables high-quality, low-latency audio distribution between multiple devices while simplifying installation, routing, and system expansion.
Audio-over-IP protocols are standards that define how digital audio is transmitted over IP networks. Common protocols include Dante, AES67, Ravenna, and SMPTE ST 2110, each offering different levels of interoperability, latency, routing, and compatibility for professional audio systems.
Dante is a widely used Audio-over-IP networking technology developed by Audinate. It enables multiple channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio to be transmitted over standard Ethernet networks, making it a popular choice for live sound, broadcast, education, and corporate AV installations.
AES67 is an open Audio-over-IP interoperability standard that allows compatible devices from different manufacturers to exchange digital audio over IP networks. It enables systems using protocols such as Dante, Ravenna, and Livewire+ to work together without requiring the same proprietary protocol.
The best Dante audio interface depends on your channel count, connectivity, and application requirements. Look for features such as low latency, reliable network performance, AES67 compatibility, and the analogue or digital I/O needed for your workflow. For professional recording, broadcast, and installed AV systems, the RedNet range is widely regarded for its exceptional audio quality, robust performance, and flexible connectivity.
Dolby Atmos is an object-based immersive audio technology that creates three-dimensional sound by placing audio objects around and above the listener. It is widely used in cinemas, music production, broadcast, and home entertainment to deliver a more realistic listening experience.
AES70 is an open standard for controlling and monitoring professional media devices over IP networks. Unlike AES67, which transports audio, AES70 standardises device control, configuration, and management, helping equipment from different manufacturers work together more efficiently.
