EtherSound is an

audio engineering and broadcast engineering applications. EtherSound is developed and licensed by Digigram
. [3] EtherSound is intended by the developer to be compliant with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards.[4] Just as the IEEE defines rates such as 100 Megabit and Gigabit Ethernet standards, EtherSound has been developed as both ES-100 (for use on dedicated 100 Megabit Ethernet networks or within a Gigabit network as a VLAN) and ES-Giga (for use on dedicated Gigabit Ethernet networks). The two versions of EtherSound are not compatible.

Network technology

While Ethersound is compliant with the IEEE 802.3

LANs with typical office operations data or Internet traffic such as email. It supports two-way communications only when wired in a daisy chain topology.[5]
For this reason Ethersound is best used in applications suitable to a daisy chain network topology or in live sound applications that benefit from its low point-to-point latency.

Low latency

Low latency is important for many users of

microseconds
. [2] If including A/D and D/A conversions, this latency is about 1.5 milliseconds, the major part of this latency being caused by the converters. Each device in a
daisy-chain
network adds 1.4 microseconds of latency. [1] EtherSound's network latency is stable and deterministic; The delay between any two devices on an EtherSound network can be calculated.

EtherSound Licensees

The following companies have licensed the EtherSound technology.[7]

  • Apex Audio
  • Archean Technologies[10]
  • Audio Performance[11]
