>Digigram's EtherSound ES8 in/out modules were nominated for a PLASA award this year. As the names suggest, each module allows up to eight analogue inputs into an Ethernet sound network and eight out for playback. The unit offers transmission of 24bit at 48kHz resolution with a claimed latency of just 1-2msecs. Both modules manage GPIOs and use RS232 for bi-directional control and thus simplify the installation of complex systems as the need to run back to a central hub is removed. Also from Digigram, the Audio Manager a very user-friendly control interface, not just for Digigram systems, but also other network set-ups such as Cobranet.
