Audinate Launches Dante Ultimo™ Solution
posted:
Dante is the most interoperable, easy-to-use digital network solution available. Dante is licensed by over 70 OEM manufacturers, and Dante networked devices are currently being designed into hundreds of AV OEM products. Ultimo delivers a low-cost, small-footprint solution without sacrificing audio quality. As with Audinate’s other networked products, Ultimo uses high-quality, low-jitter clocks with ±1μs time alignment between networked devices. Ultimo does not require specialized switches, and works with existing network infrastructure.
Ultimo includes well-established Dante features like automatic device discovery, plug-and-play networking, network-based firmware updates, and customization of device names and channel labels.

“The Ultimo integrated chip solution accelerates the migration from analog to digital signal distribution,” says Gary Southwell, Audinate’s Vice President of Product Management. Southwell adds “Ultimo allows our OEMs to achieve their desired cost targets for networked low channel count endpoints for the first time. Ultimo is already a success, and is actively being designed into commercial products by many of the industry's largest and most recognized AV OEMs.”
Applications targeted for Ultimo include powered speakers, microphones, speakerphones, amplifiers, paging stations, personal monitoring systems, AV wall plates, recording interfaces, analog/digital break-in/break out, and musical instruments.
Product development kits are available now.
