L-Acoustics has joined the AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium for open standards-based deterministic networking through certification.
The France-based company aims to make an impact to the growth of the Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) standards in partnership with existing AVnu Alliance members.
Founded in 1984 near Paris, L-Acoustics sells in more than 75 countries. The company’s total system approach is well-suited for both the touring and fixed installation markets.
“We’re excited to join the AVnu Alliance, as its philosophy matches our goals. At L-Acoustics, we have fully reviewed the options for audio network technologies. We believe in standards and interoperability, so IEEE’s AVB/TSN standard, certified by the AVnu Alliance, is a natural choice for us,” states Genio Kronauer, head of Electronics Department, L-Acoustics. “We believe that L-Acoustics’ high-end user-base will bring significant contribution to growing the AVB/TSN market in the professional domain.”
In addition to certification, Alliance members have access to compliance tools, testing plans, and test suites enabling early internal testing. Members may also benefit from participating in member-only plug fests, offering a hands-on opportunity for engineers to test connectivity and interoperability.
“Having a renowned pro audio industry expert like L-Acoustics on our membership roster is invaluable as we continue to push the AVB/TSN certified ecosystem forward,” says Yong Kim, AVnu Alliance chairman. “L-Acoustics’ forward-thinking approach paired with their global influence will provide insight and connections to our pro A/V segment.”
