Ultranet Seamless Integration

Engineers at Midas, Klark Teknik, Turbosound, and Behringer have come together to create a rock-solid, easy to deploy, lowest-latency, long-distance, multi-channel audio transmission interface. The Ultranet technology has meanwhile proven to seamlessly transmit 16 channels of 24-bit audio over standard Cat 5 cable up to 246' length, in hundreds of thousands of applications world-wide, connecting mixers, I/O boxes, powered loudspeakers, and personal monitoring systems. Ultranet effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that combines highest reliability, with unparalleled ease of use and flexibility.

Dual AES50 Ports for Massive Connectivity

Connecting over a single, shielded (STP) Cat 5 cable, up to three DL8s can be daisy-chained to deliver 24 channels in and 24 out to the stage. Klark Teknik’s AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, with simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry. This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications as well as postproduction, broadcasting, and audio routing infrastructure.
