Powersoft Licenses Dante AV Networking from AudinatePowersoft and Audinate announce that they have entered into a licensing agreement to incorporate Audinate's Dante media networking into Powersoft's amplifier products. Powersoft manufacturers light-weight, high power, single rack space, energy-efficient amplifiers for the professional audio market. Its state-of-the-art amplifiers can be found in an array of markets, ranging from stadiums, sporting arenas, theme parks, performance venues, and airports to convention centers, churches, and clubs, and are used by many tour sound companies. Dante is built on IT standards, and is a complete media networking solution. Dante delivers a low-latency, tightly-synchronized, sample-accurate playback, while simplifying installation and configuration of A/V networks. Dante is a solution of choice for a variety of professional applications as it demystifies audio networking. "Our plan is to build new products for the newest generation of our install and touring rack amplifiers." says Luca Giorgi, pro audio BU manager for Powersoft. Giorgi adds, "Powersoft's first compatible products integrating Dante will be the new Ottocanali series. Recently launched in its basic version, it will be available in a networkable version this fall. We rely on the new developments planned by Audinate for integrating an AVB stack to have a Dante/AVB solution in the medium term." Giorgi ends with, "We are also looking at Audinate's Ultimo Dante chip as an answer for our OEM power modules' which are sold through partners." "Powersoft is one of the fastest growing amplifier manufacturers in the professional audio market," stated Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. "Powersoft's advanced DSP technology and management software, combined with Dante high performance digital media networking solution, will create a series of innovative networked products," adds Ellison. "Audinate's Dante networking is the most interoperable, easy-to-use digital network solution available."
