McNell 11/13/12 05:23 AM,In the world of networked audio transport, there are two major categories in which a system may fall: a fully standards-based network, or a proprietary network that may or may not use standards-based transport. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and, of course, are subject in varying degrees to the problems associated with transforming an analog signal into a digital stream and then back again. Let’s first explore the biggest question that a system designer should ask when someone shows… View this story

Buddy Oliver 02/23/12 03:46 PM,An easy way to understand how fiber optics works: visualize peering into a very long tube, the inside of which is coated with a perfectly mirrored surface. One mile away, at the opposite end, a friend shines a bright flashlight into the tube. Because the tube is internally coated with a perfect mirror, you will see his light perfectly at your end, regardless of how many twists and turns the pipe takes. If your friend flashes the light off and… View this story
