AV Integrators are adopting technologies that enable them to deliver audio (and video) signals over a network using standard Ethernet cables. Why? Because old-school legacy audio solutions use point-to-point wiring between devices, resulting in bulky cable runs that are difficult to deploy and offer extremely limited system flexibility or adaptability as the user’s needs evolve.
The trend toward network-based entertainment solutions improves scalability, efficiency, and reliability, while maintaining the highest performance standards for any zone regardless how far it might be from the source.
Used by many manufacturers across thousands of available devices, Dante is an uncompressed, multi-channel digital media networking technology that moves data over a standard IP network using readily available CAT5e, CAT6 or fiber optic cable with near-zero latency.
This technology empowers integrators to deliver the best quality audio to every zone without being tethered to costly analog cable runs that are susceptible to signal degradation over time and exposure to elements. And system changes or upgrades are a snap in every zone thanks to Dante’s Audio over IP platform.
AudioControl has embraced audio over IP by offering amplifiers equipped with Dante connectivity, including multi-zone (Director Series) and 70-volt (CM Series) solutions.

The Model M6800D also features a powerful DSP engine that includes graphic and parametric equalization by zone, plus a switching matrix that delivers the highest quality entertainment programming to any zone with unmatched flexibility.
Designed with Features for A/V Integrators
With the Director Model M6800D amplifier, integrators can tailor the sound to each zone based on DSP profiles of leading speaker brands included as part of AudioControl’s Sound Partners Program, and then fine-tune the sound based on the acoustic properties of any space. The AudioControl Director Model M6800D can be used as a standalone solution or as part of a complete smart home environment with drivers available for popular 3rd party control systems including Crestron, Savant, RTI and Control 4. Most critically, AudioControl has provided integrators with 16-channels of premium performance from a 2U chassis, conserving critical rack space without compromising sound quality.
The AudioControl Director Model M6800D is designed for custom integrators by a manufacturer A/V professionals have trusted for over 45 years to deliver exceptional performance, superior customer service, and the company’s legendary 5-year warranty.
AudioControl’s Dante-enabled amplifiers will be on display with AVPro Edge at the 2024 InfoComm show in Las Vegas June 12-14, booth C8642.
