Merging Technologies Introduces New MAD ASIO Driver for Windows With Enhanced Network Infrastructure Features

Merging Technologies has gained a justifiable reputation for supplying enabling tools for AES67/Ravenna AoIP networks that have more recently been incorporated into the ST2110 standards. The freeware CoreAudio VAD has been downloaded thousands of times and the Linux ALSA driver has found favor with a number of OEMs. Meanwhile, the ASIO driver supplied with Merging interfaces was beginning to show its age and lacked some key features. In response, Merging introduced a new Merging Audio Device (MAD) driver, which totally redefines possibilities and introduces a new enhanced MAD Infrastructure option.

Audinate’s Dante – the audio-over-IP and now also AV-over-IP solution that already dominates the world of professional audio – is seeing rapid adoption by manufacturers of residential audio equipment. Now, Dante is also seeing adoption in the residential market, with new products from leading residential brands including JBL Synthesis, ELAN, and Powersoft introduced at CEDIA 2019. At the Denver event, Audinate is promoting the availability of Dante Virtual Soundcard for installation in virtual Windows environments.
