AES67 — Audio Over IP Standard

Open standard for high-performance audio-over-IP networking, enabling interoperability between different manufacturers' systems.

Key points:

  • Uses standard IP infrastructure (UDP/RTP)
  • Synchronization via PTPv2 (IEEE 1588)
  • Supports up to 8 channels per stream at 48kHz/24-bit
  • Interoperable with Dante (when Dante devices enable AES67 mode)
  • Also compatible with Ravenna, Livewire+, and SMPTE ST 2110-30
  • Requires managed switches with PTP and QoS support
