Dante Avante!05/03/2012 Dante is an established audio networking protocol that allows 32 channels of digital audio to travel over gigabit Ethernet with extremely low latency. We're seeing an increasing number of manufacturers adopt the protocol including Focusrite, JoeCo, Yamaha, Sound Devices and now Lectrosonics. - GSCLectrosonics Introduces Aspen Dante Network Processor32 x 32 channel Plug 'N Play network audio transportlectrosonics.comRio Rancho, NM - May 2012.

Any of the 48 final mixes in the ASPEN matrix can be assigned to any one or more of the Dante channels for transport to other endpoints in the network.

Consisting of the Timecode Buddy: master and the Timecode Buddy: tx, with a free iOS app available, it's a simple and reliable way to sync your timecode across set, and it works with gear you already have. This equipment is still pending authorization from the FCC and may not be sold until it is granted.See company founder Paul Scurrell talking about the system at NAB 2012. Franklin R. Haber, R.I.P. We're sad to note the passing of Frank Haber at the age of 72 on March 19, 2012. He had an illustrious 30 year career sound engineering and mixing for motion pictures. Frank fixed my first Nagra and was incredibly generous with his time and advice and I'll always be grateful for the help he gave to me as a young mixer. Our condolences to his friends and family.- Peter Schneider Read more about April Gazette 0 comment Share Tweet
