The LA4X now able to receive the AVB size / TSN and LA Network Manager which through its version 2.5 handles the audio stream and adds the data needed for management and remote monitoring.
The upcoming 141st AES Convention, taking place from September 29 through October 2 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, will host exclusive demonstrations of L-Acoustics’ newly launched Kiva II ultra-compact line source, as well as the KS28 reference subwoofer and X Series of coaxial enclosures. These demos will also showcase L-Acoustics’ latest developments on the open standard Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) technology.
Demonstrations will be conducted in Room 506 of the Convention Center’s West Hall at 11:00am, 1:00pm, 3:00pm and 5:00 on Thursday, September 29 and Friday, September 30, and at 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm on Saturday, October 1
The LA12X, latest high power amplified controller L-Acoustics soon certified AVB / TSN
Show control for the demos will be managed using an Apple Mac mini equipped with Q-Lab software, playing 20 audio channels at 24-bit/96 kHz directly to an Ethernet AVB/TSN Gigabit network via three streams of eight channels each. LA Network Manager 2.5, which implements an AVDECC 1722.1 AVB/TSN controller, will connect the streams to five newly updated LA4X and LA12X amplified controllers, dedicating one audio channel to each amplified controller’s output.
The MOTU 1248, a Thunderbolt interface with any type of input and output whose AVB / TSN four microphone inputs and an integrated 48-channel mixer.
In addition, a MOTU 1248 AVB device will stream the presenter’s microphone over AVB/TSN to an LA4X amplified controller, all equipment being connected together by an affordable MOTU AVB/TSN bridge.
The open standard AVB technology streamlines network infrastructure by combining audio signal transmission with system control and monitoring.
“We committed our R&D resources to AVB/TSN when we joined the AVNu Alliance last year,” explains Stéphane Ecalle, marketing director at L-Acoustics. “Preceding their upcoming certification, we’re delighted to demonstrate our first AVB/TSN-equipped products to AES visitors. We are sure that this development will translate into time and cost savings and simplify network implementation for our clients.”
