Audio Networking

Audio networking uses computer networks to transmit and control audio signals, through the use of:

• PoE-powered networkable speakers
• Audio interfaces and converters
• Network switches
• Control software

This technology transforms audio signals into data packets sent over standard network cables to create flexible, scalable, and high-quality audio infrastructure. It’s easily integrated into modern smart building infrastructures, such as:

• Conference rooms, background music, paging systems
• Lecture halls, campus-wide announcements
• Theatres, theme parks, museums
• Airports, train stations, public address systems
• Hotels, restaurants, bars
• Hospitals, patient room entertainment and communication

Audio networking represents a significant leap in sound distribution technology. By embracing digital, network-based solutions, organisations can create flexible, high-quality audio environments that meet modern demands:

• Integrates seamlessly with other building management systems, enhancing overall functionality and user experience.
• Quick and easy adjustments meet changing needs without extensive rewiring or equipment replacement
• High-quality, precisely controlled audio improves the auditory environment in various settings
• Adapts to new features, ensuring longevity and return on investment
• Network infrastructure reduces the need for extensive cabling, contributing to more sustainable building practices

We’re already seeing plenty of exciting developments in the industry, such as:

• Enhanced AI integration for automated audio management
• Improved spatial audio capabilities
• • Seamless integration with 5G and IoT devices
