This white paper’s subject is Networked audio system design with CobraNet™.

The design concept in this paper supports systems varying from small touring

event setups to very large scale networked audio installations. That does not

mean that the design concept is the best solution to all system specications, other

network topologies and audio protocols should always be considered in the initial

phase of the design project. The advantage of this Yamaha System Solutions design

concept is that it is based on Ethernet / CobraNet™, both open protocols that use

computer networking components widely available on the market. Other compat-

ible brands of both network and audio equipment can be included in the design

concept, assuring maximum exibility and project efciency for system integrators.

It is also good to know that the design concept is not just a theoretical exercise; we

have built, tested and installed systems based on this design concept so you can be

condent that the concept will work in real life.

We assume the reader is a system integrator with detailed knowledge of analogue

and digital audio, and basic knowledge of networking technologies as covered in

the ‘Yamaha System Solutions - an introduction to networked audio’ white paper.
