dBTechnologies has release its new 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 dBTechnologies 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 eliminating any loss caused by conversions from the mixer output to the speakers. The Control 24A is the first dBTechnologies controller native to A2NET networks and extends the established control functionalities of RDNet, offering the possibility to now embed up to four channels of high-resolution digital audio and RDNET management over a single CAT-5 cable.
