A flexible complete solution for Audio Network implementations

Networked audio provides a low-cost and more flexible alternative to analogue cabled signals.
AVB/Milan is an audio networking protocol that's changing the way audio devices communicate and interact within professional audio setups. Based on the AVB standard, Milan aims to redefine the networking landscape by delivering reliable, high-performance, synchronised audio streaming over Ethernet networks.
Manufacturers of professional audio devices have a reliable, scalable and easy-to-integrate solution with JOYNED software running on XMOS xcore microcontrollers to get their products connected to the network quickly and cost-efficiently.
