France - With the small cable size and with no audible electromagnetic interference, the use of Ethernet technology has many advantages in the audio word. It can often enable audio installation in areas where traditional methods would be difficult or impossible. Functioning as Ethernet audio bridges, Digigram’s EtherSound ES8in and EtherSound ES8out offer an easy and affordable way to install and distribute up to 64 channels of high-quality audio using standard Ethernet switches and Cat 5 cabling, and are the first off-the-shelf products to feature Digigram's EtherSound technology.

EtherSound ES8in injects eight analogue balanced audio signals into an EtherSound network, while the EtherSound ES8out extracts eight analogue audio signals out of an EtherSound network. System set-up, control and re-configuration are operated remotely via straightforward PC software, with no specific IT expertise is required.

Applications include synchronous high-quality audio distribution in broadcast facilities; multi-zone audio distribution in fixed installations; and touring and portable PA (broadcast vehicles, touring theatres, live recording set-ups).

Advantages of the system include reduced labour and material costs, aas well as significant cuts in the cost of re-configuration and maintenance. EtherSound ES8in/8out allows for highly flexible audio distribution, going well beyond the possibilities of analogue audio installations and their physically defined signal paths, say Digigram. Both EtherSound ES8in and EtherSound ES8out allow management of GPIO and RS232 for bi-directional control. Connection can be made by either XLR or terminal block connectors. Set-up and management of one or more EtherSound networks may be done via Escontrol.
