Audinate Expands Offices in Sydney and Portland to Support Company Growth

October 12 2016, 04:00
To support the rapid adoption of Dante audio networking technology, Audinate has expanded its Australian global headquarters in Sydney, Australia and more recently its North America headquarters in Portland, OR. The company recently completed an expansion of its global headquarters and Innovation Center in Sydney, Australia, doubling the size of the office.
 

The new North America facility is located in the historic Albers Mill Building in Portland, Oregon and triples the size of the previous office. The new facility also features Audinate’s new North America training center.
 
“With Dante now adopted by more than 300 OEMs, and tens of thousands of Dante enabled systems being installed over the next 12 months, the expansion of both offices enables us to scale to meet growing demand,” stated Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate.  “We are also excited to start offering hands-on training for system integrators and design consultants in the new Portland facility.”

The office expansions will enable Audinate to staff up across all functional areas, with an emphasis on software and hardware engineers in Sydney, and training and marketing resources in Portland. Audinate’s Dante audio over IP networking solution is used extensively in the professional live sound, commercial installation, broadcast, public address, and recording industries. Dante replaces traditional analogue audio cables by transmitting perfectly synchronized audio signals across large distances, to multiple locations at once, using nothing more than an Ethernet cable. Audinate also has regional offices in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
 

Dante Certification Expanded
Audinate also recently confirmed that Level 1 of its popular Dante Certification program is now fully available online. This online course allows users the opportunity to become certified any time, without the need to attend in-person events. Level 1 Certification tests proficiency of basic Dante audio networking concepts, covering audio networking fundamentals, basic networking concepts, creating a small-scale Dante network, and using Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard.

Audinate created the certification program as a response to requests for information about best practices for installing Dante audio networking. The Dante Certification program provides an easy way for system designers, engineers and others in the industry to learn about Dante with in-depth training. The certification program currently has two levels: Level 1 is available both in person and online, and Level 2 is currently only offered in person.
