Live Design’s choice is very popular with Broadway designers

Portland, OR-April 26, 2011- Live Design has named its 2010-2011 Sound Products of the Year, chosen by a panel of prestigious sound designers.  Audinate’s Dante-MY16-AUD was selected as their pick for this year's Sound Networking award.

The Dante-MY16-AUD card is a fully compatible Yamaha Mini-YGDAI standard card that instantly Dante-enables a Yamaha console mixer, processor or power amp.  Each Dante-MY16-AUD card provides 16 bidirectional audio channels (16 channels at 48 kHz, or 8 channels at 96 kHz) and full Dante network audio redundancy over Gigabit Ethernet. Add more cards to add more channels, and connect to other Dante-enabled audio equipment.

“It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by such a prestigious publication as Live Design for our innovative solutions for the pro-audio industry, but even more rewarding, is seeing how our Dante products help our simplify their designs.” Remarked Lee Ellison, Audinate’s CEO. “We have been very fortunate to partner with Yamaha for distribution of the Dante-MY16- AUD card. Yamaha has been incredibly supportive to showcase Dante’s benefits to its customers”
