About Ethernet Audio Interfaces
Networked audio and Audio over Ethernet (AoE) can seem inscrutable at first — a jargon-laden space reserved for only the most advanced pro audio practitioners. But once you’ve gotten over the learning curve, networked audio systems can drastically simplify your workflow and seamlessly integrate the components that comprise your recording, mixing, and live sound setups.
Ethernet Interfaces Aren't Just for Pros
Because of the power of networked audio, many manufacturers offer Ethernet audio interfaces designed to fit the needs of recordists at every level — from small home studios to full-blown multiroom professional facilities and large performance centers. Some Ethernet interfaces function on proprietary platforms, such as Wave’s SoundGrid devices and Behringer’s ULTRANET devices. Other manufacturers, including Focusrite, MOTU, RME, and Apogee, utilize common audio networking platforms such as Dante and AVB.
Multiroom Audio Over a Single Cable
Ethernet audio interfaces have some distinct advantages over USB or Thunderbolt interfaces. Networked audio has nearly limitless expandability, which makes it ideal for complex recording and live sound setups. For instance, in a multiroom recording facility, networked audio can tie together numerous tracking rooms and mixing suites and centralize control via a software matrix, such as Audinate’s Dante Controller. And, because Ethernet devices can receive and send hundreds of channels of audio over a single digital Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6 cable, the need for (what can seem like) miles of analog mic and line cables is reduced drastically.
Ultra-low Latency
Another advantage of Ethernet interfaces is their nearly latency-free operation, which enables artists to track or perform live through their favorite plug-in chains without any distracting delay that could derail a performance. What's more, several Ethernet audio interfaces available from Sweetwater have their own onboard DSP for even greater real-time processing power.
Networks Legacy Devices, Too
Once you’ve decided to embrace a networked audio ecosystem for your studio or live venue, you’re not limited to only using Ethernet-compatible devices from that point forward. You can just as easily add a USB or Thunderbolt device to your network using software solutions such as Audinate’s Dante Virtual Soundcard. So, if you like the idea of networked audio but don't want to give up your UAD Apollo and its killer plug-in package, no problem! It can reside comfortably in your audio network along with all of your other devices.
