Le concert d’ouverture du Festival international de musique de Besançon sera sonorisé par Espace Concept en FAN, c'est à dire en s'appuyant sur une chaine de captation, de traitement et de diffusion presque entièrement numérique. EtherSound est le mode de transmission sur lequel s'appuie l'approche FAN. Le concert d'ouverture aura lieu le vendredi 11 septembre à 20h30, place de la révolution à Besançon (25).

Concert en plein air de l'Orchestre Philarmonique de Monté-Carlo, sous la direction de Zdenek Macal. Suivi de Neapolis Ensemble http://www.festival-besancon.com/index.php/concert/51

Digigram has defined a new variation of the technology. One that could coexist and interoperate with ES-100 or ES-Giga networks but for markets such as Public Address and PA/BGM. Its name is ES-100/spkr. Barix, a major player in these markets is the launch partner. Read the full story.

Nagai Stadium in Osaka recently became the first stadium in Japan to boast a fully digital audio network and control system following a major upgrade of the existing 15 year-old facilities. The massive project, under the direction of consultant and system designer Yoshiteru Mimura of M&H Laboratory Co. Ltd., based in Kyoto, with installation by Panasonic, provides comprehensive control and EtherSound audio distribution via a Gigabit network in a redundant ring topology comprising 2.5 km of fiber.

Everybody dreams of launching "the" product that will revolutionize the market and change the way people work forever, but few actually achieve it. And very occasionally a product is launched with a potential that even the manufacturer himself hadn't anticipated. The iPod is a case in point – even Apple hadn't bargained on how the concept would transform an entire generation, and not just those who were already Mac users, which, in this highly partisan world of ours, (at least where Mac and PC are concerned) is a phenomenal achievement.

Now, no-one is comparing themselves to Apple here, but in terms of a product that has the capacity to revolutionize a market, and even surprise the manufacturer in the process, the new LX6464ES from Digigram has all the right ingredients.

EtherSound is a bi-directional network technology. How to parameterize? Are they any restrictions?...

Lee Minich, President of EtherSound Authorized Implementor Lab X Technologies, discusses the importance of "switch hitting:" developing products that allow the customer to choose which network to use. Lab X Technologies, which has been assisting professional and consumer electronics manufacturers with product concept and development for over a decade, developed the ESX module to facilitate development of EtherSound interfaces in network-ready digital audio products.
