D&b: commitment to MILAN IP protocol for NAMM and ISE 2024

MILAN se positionne comme la principale base technologique de d&b des solutions dans le cadre de NAM et ALORS QUE Salons 2024, où l'entreprise présentera des produits préparés pour ce protocole comme le pont audio DS20, le processeur de signal DS100M et l'amplificateur de puissance D90.

The protocol that structures the present and future of d&b, MILAN, promet d'offrir moins de complexité, une interopérabilité maximale, une redondance accrue et une indépendance vis-à-vis de fournisseurs spécifiques ou de technologies tierces. Selon la marque, et certifie Marcus Rembold, product manager DSP & Networks in d&b audiotechnik, this protocol will not mean that it will no longer support the Dante environments, but an alternative that each user can choose if they so choose: “MILAN represents one of the most significant technological advances in the audio industry, and it’s been equally important for d&b to incorporate it. Our commitment to providing these solutions is evident in our approach, allowing users to embrace the future with confidence, while retaining the flexibility to choose between MILAN and Dante”.

Le DS20 audio network bridge is designed to provide a “cost-effective and integrated” connection between d&b and MILAN systems. The DS20 network bridge acts as an interface between d&b amplifiers and the MILAN audio transfer protocol and includes impressive technical features such as 16 digital AES 3 output channels, 4 digital AES 3 input channels and an integrated network switch with 5 fully AVB-compliant ports, providing unparalleled flexibility and redundancy. On the other hand, the DS100M Le processeur de signal est l'itération compatible MILAN du DS100 avec Dante. Cette solution exploite la puissance technologique de MILAN et étend ses fonctionnalités pour offrir un large éventail de fonctionnalités. Ceux-ci incluent davantage de canaux audio via les entrées MILAN, MADI ou de signal d'horloge.

Au NAMM comme à l'ISE, le D90, the d&b new flagship amplifier, will also be unveiled. This amplifier, beyond providing “unparalleled performance and sound quality”, backup capacity for all inputs or increased system efficiency, incorporates MILAN networked audio. Wolfgang Schulz, head of product management electronics & software, highlights the latest developments of the brand: “The DS20, DS100M and D90 are the result of extensive research and innovation. They have been designed to not only meet today’s requirements, but to provide future-proof solutions that offer our users unparalleled flexibility, reliability and performance. At d&b, our commitment goes beyond innovation; it’s about enabling our customers to embrace tomorrow’s technology today.”
