There is a growing need for large-scale audio systems, and with it the need for advanced networking technologies that can distribute high-quality audio quickly and reliably throughout large venues or open facilities with fully integrated control. CobraNet™ is a sophisticated technology that enables transfer of multiple audio and control channels via Ethernet cable.
As an integrated system, CobraNet allows digital data to be carried up to 100 meters* from one port to another device by common CAT-5/100Base-TX cabling, or up to 2 kilometers by optical fiber. It is fast, with constant 5.33ms latency**; it is reliable, thanks to built-in redundant systems; and, with the standard cabling and connections, it is remarkably easy to use and economical.
* The actual maximum length of cables may differ depending on the quality of the Ethernet equipment or the particular settings used.
** Low latency mode of CobraNet™ is now supported, which enables users to choose from 5.33ms, 2.67ms and 1.33ms.
