VUE Audiotechnik to Sponsor Dante AV Networking World

VUE Audiotechnik announces its participation in the Dante AV Networking World Fall Tour 2015. Co-sponsored by more than 20 leading professional audio manufacturers, AV Networking World conferences are free educational events for anyone interested in superior audio networking. Vue Audiotechnik will provide Dante-enabled loudspeakers for all of the Dante AV Networking World seminars scheduled to take place across the United States over a span of four months.

Stops along the Dante AV Networking World Fall Tour 2015 will include Los Angeles on September 22, which will be followed by San Francisco on September 24th, Chicago on October 14th, October 28th in New York City coinciding with the AES show, November 17th in Nashville during the WFX show, and finally on December 9th in Miami. All attendees are required to register.

Dante AV Networking World seminars feature training, presentations, and interactive panel discussions conducted by the audio industry's leading experts. Attendees can also meet with representatives from Dante AV Networking World sponsors, ask questions and gain hands-on experience with Dante-enabled products. Vue Audiotechnik will provide its Dante enabled h-Class h-12 powered speakers as the lecture-hall PA system for all North American stops as well as h-Class elements in the sponsor's pavilion.

"The industry has been looking for a suitable networking solution for more than a decade," says Ken Berger, CEO of Vue. "Dante is well positioned to be that network. We're excited to put our full support behind Dante in that role. Audinate's efforts to disseminate networking knowledge through technical programs like this, is a great service to the industry."

Dante AV Networking World seminar topics will include an introduction to the Dante network, instruction on how to create a basic Dante network, troubleshooting and use of the Dante Controller software. Detailed examples of network systems will be presented for a variety of applications, including house of worship, broadcast, live sound, corporate AV, transportation facilities, educational facilities, and entertainment venues. Attendees will also learn about network-switch selection, redundant design, and incorporating analog signal processors into Dante networks. Dante AV Networking World seminars are recommended for anyone involved with the design and installation of networked audio systems, including design consultants, system integrators, and sound engineers.

When designing the h-Class and V-Series, engineers at Vue Audiotechnik included Ethernet capabilities for use in network control and monitoring, anticipating that in the future they could expand the products to include Dante. The recent introduction of the Dante Ultimo chipset, a cost-effective Dante solution for low-channel-count applications, enables Vue DSP systems to incorporate Dante functionality at competitive price points. Vue users will now be able to incorporate h-Class and V Series products in any Dante network, including environments such as stadiums or theme parks, where Dante infrastructure is already in place.

Designed by Audinate, Dante is an uncompressed multichannel digital audio and video network protocol with near-zero latency and clock synchronization. Dante networks can be scaled and expanded from basic systems of just a few audio channels to complex networks running thousands of audio channels. Networks are managed using Dante Controller software, which can be run under Windows or Mac OS.
