TC Group – parent company of Tannoy, Lab.gruppen, Lake and TC Helicon – has announced that it is to become part of the AVnu Alliance.
TC Group sees networked audio as a critical issue in pro audio – in both the install and tour world - and has already utilized digital audio networking across multiple branded components, such as the implementation of established Ethernet-based protocols in Lab.gruppen’s PLM Series and Lake’s LM 26. Development of technologies intended to be in line with proposed AVB standards is already being carried out by the group’s specialist division TC Applied Technologies and this formal announcement by TC Group to join AVnu Alliance goes some way to underlining those advances.
TC Group’s CTO, Morten Lave, commented, “It is very exciting to be a member of this exclusive group; we have always been supportive of open standards. AVB, combined with AVnu’s dedication to create a compliance program, is precisely what the industry needs at the moment.”
