Low cost digital audio networking solution CobraNet LE from Cirrus and Attero Tech

Cirrus Logic in collaboration with Attero Tech have introduced CobraNet LE technology, a low-cost version of already available CobraNet.
CobrtaNet is stereo implementation of networked digital audio technology. CobraNet LE is expected to lower implementation costs and power consumption and to simplify system design for deploying CobraNet technology into network end nodes, such as wall and ceiling speakers and audio wall boxes.

Due to its low cost, CobraNet LE technology can be opted for moving into networked digital audio over Ethernet from traditional analog audio networks. There are more than one million installed CobraNet technology channels.


"CobraNet LE technology allows OEMs to drive CobraNet technology out to the wall or the ceiling, replacing costly and interference-prone analog wiring with robust CobraNet digital audio networking," said Rus Sundholm, president of Attero Tech.

CobraNet LE technology is available for purchase as a market-ready CobraNet LE Reference Design or as an IC from Attero Tech. The CobraNet LE Reference Design is priced at $299 and the IC is available for $7.81 in quantities of 10,000.
