DBTECHNOLOGIES A2NET CONTROL24A CONTROLLER, ACU-1 CARD

DBTechnologies has release its proprietary digital audio and control protocol, A2Net. This is a tandem release with the first two products that will utilize A2Net, the new Control24A controller (pictured) and the new ACU-1 card. A2Net is an evolutionary concept born out of the dBTech- nologies proprietary RDNet protocol. The A2Net protocol introduces the ability to transport up to four channels of high-resolution digital audio and RDnet control data though a single cable, replacing the need for bulky cabling and complex and third-party networking protocols. A2Net is a point-to-point protocol consisting of controllers, such as the Control24A, and receivers, such as the ACU-1 card, enabling digital audio transmission of the highest-quality signal by eliminat- ing any loss caused by conversions from the mixer output to the speakers . {dbtechnologies.com}
