Sorry, but what’s AES67?
- detaro 5y agoa protocol for audio over IP
- tootie 5y agoThis is LAN audio streaming right? Like the kind of thing you'd use at a venue. Not internet radio.
- frabert 5y agoYes, AES67 (like Dante) is geared towards low latency over reliable links. Tipically wired ethernet.
- dheera 5y agoYeah if you want real security use AES256 instead ...
- dylan604 5y agoNo, that's not for security, that's for multi-channel 3.1 (256/67=3.x). So you can stream a L+C+R+LFE. More bass for your face with that sub.

- detaro 5y agovenue audio seems to be the main thing, yes. (Some companies seem to push it for automotive audio distribution too, but I have no idea if any car makers actually are going down the "Ethernet everywhere" train that far)
- rodgerd 5y agoAudio over IP - you see it being used with (for example) theatre setups between a processor and powered speakers that take it as an input. You can (if you are sufficiently well-heeled) use it for home theatre with e.g. a JBL Synthesis 55 and Genelec or Meriden digital speakers. (Unfortunately, everything in the AV space is fucked up by the copyright cartel, so processors aren't allowed to send anything beyond 24 bit/48 kHz outside their core processing path.)
- nitrogen 5y agoI never expected to see JBL Synthesis mentioned on HN by anybody else... Are the Synthesis preamp/processors sending out digital audio now? When I was consulting for them the processors exclusively sent analog, usually over XLR, even for Atmos. But the SDEC EQ stage used 96kHz internally, then could send digital audio to the amp over Blu link. I still use the SDEC EQ and Blu link for audio distribution in my house.
- rodgerd 5y agoYeah, the 55s have added AES/Dante output with the caveat it has to be downsampled because HDCP. That said, 24 bit/48 kHz to the speaker is into placebo territory.
