AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts,
extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate
phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error
detection, network redundancy, with simple
deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of
the live performance industry.
This unique combination also bene ts both
live and studio recording applications, as well
as post-production, broadcasting and audio
routing infrastructure. SuperMAC is a proprietary
implementation of AES50 owned by KLARK
TEKNIK. Originally developed by Sony Pro-Audio
Labs in Oxford, UK, it forms the basis of the Audio
Engineering Society’s AES50 open standard
for digital audio networking – High Resolution
Multi-channel Audio Interconnection (HRMAI), as
published by the Audio Engineering Society, Inc.
• 48 bidirectional audio channels @ 48 kHz over
Neutrik etherCON-terminated shielded (STP)
CAT5 cable (max. length 100 meters / 328 feet)
• Single cable duplex interconnection for audio
and sample clocks
• Ethernet physical layer audio data transmission
• High channel count and ultra-low deterministic
latency (2x3 samples = 1/8 ms per node)
• Accurate phase-aligned clock distribution
• Comprehensive error detection and
management
• Provision for redundant networking
• Minimal con guration – total ease of
deployment and use
• Ethernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary
data channel
