The Audio over IP according Genelec: new solution based on the new 8430A studio monitors with AES67 standard<\/strong><\/em>
\nAt ISE<\/strong><\/a> just held in Amsterdam, Genelec<\/a><\/strong> has introduced its new solution for AoIP<\/strong>, the Audio over IP<\/strong>. Since 2010, Genelec<\/a><\/strong> invests on AoIP solutions<\/strong>. In practice, it has been shown an array of new studio monitor Genelec 8430A<\/a><\/strong> using the open AES67 standard,<\/strong> which enables high Audio-over-IP<\/strong> performance and streaming interoperability between various IP audio networking products, based on standards such as Ravenna<\/strong>, LiveWire+<\/strong> and Dante.<\/strong> AES67<\/strong> operates over standard Layer 3 Ethernet networks<\/strong> and is routable and fully scalable. The Genelec<\/strong><\/a> solution therefore offers considerable flexibility, which was given the test during the ISE<\/strong><\/a> with special demonstrations open to the public.

\nThe AoIP<\/strong> technology enables the audio stream in high resolution on CAT Ethernet cables<\/strong>, without the need for proprietary cabling. The 8430A array<\/a><\/strong> therefore represents the culmination of several years of research and development. It\u2019s based on Ravenna<\/strong> protocol and combines multiple connectivity options using an AES67 signal<\/strong> via XLR RJ45 connectors<\/strong> and a standard analog signal through a balanced XLR connector<\/strong>.
\nThe 8430A model<\/a><\/strong> belongs to the Genelec SAM series<\/a> (Smart Active Monitoring)<\/strong> of which retains the main features, such as MDE technology (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure)<\/strong> and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW)<\/strong>, in addition to the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) 2.0 function<\/strong>, to allow precise adjustment of all monitor settings. The AutoCal function<\/strong> compensates the room response anomalies for an even more precise calibration of monitoring.
\n\u201cThe AoIP<\/strong> has increasingly become the professional audio world\u201d, said Siamak Naghian<\/strong>, CEO of Genelec<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cWe are very proud to have been able to show in action the new 8430A model<\/a><\/strong> with the open standard AES67,<\/strong> in a multiple AoIP system.<\/strong> The result was the demonstration that AES67<\/strong> is fully compatible with existing audio standards, and even more with a dedicated product as the IP 8430A array<\/strong><\/a>, in terms of flexibility, interoperability and scalability.\u201d<\/p>\n
