AARHUS, Denmark – TC Group, parent company of TC Electronic, Tannoy, Lab.gruppen, Lake and TC Helicon, is to become part of the AVnu Alliance, the industry forum dedicated to the establishment and promotion of the IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) open network standard.
TC Group said it was fully supportive of the move towards IEEE 802.1, stating that the establishment of AVB as the leading open standard will benefit customers, manufacturers and the industry as a whole.
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.
"It is very exciting to be a member of this exclusive group; we have always been supportive of open standards," said Morten Lave, TC Group's CTO. "AVB, combined with AVnu's dedication to create a compliance program, is precisely what the industry needs at the moment."
"We are very pleased to have TC Group join the ever-growing ranks of AVnu Alliance members committed to the proliferation of AVB technology," said Lee Minich, Marketing Work Group chairman and president of Lab X Technologies.
