"DiGiCo is proud to become an addition to the EtherSound family, utilising this superb data transmission protocol to provide yet another solution to DiGiCo's customers in this ever-changing digital world," says DiGiCo managing director Bob Doyle. Marketing director David Webster explains further, "We wanted to expand our connectivity with other devices. We've already got analogue, optical, AES/EBU, T/DIF/ADAT and others, so regardless of what you want to plug into - you can. EtherSound is appearing on enough devices to make it a strategic addition to DiGiCo consoles in any signal chain."
"DiGiCo's rapid emergence as a leader in digital consoles is an example of how customer choices move our industry forward," said EtherSound Business development manager Jimmy Kawalek. "As an open standard, EtherSound maximises end user freedom of choice. We look forward to seeing DiGiCo products added to the wide range of options available to sound system designers using EtherSound connectivity."
In the US, Whirlwind has acquired an EtherSound licence and will offer EtherSound-enabled versions of its digital-audio-over-Ethernet products such as E-Snake.
