The Dante option offers some interesting features which will be unveiled at Frankfurt
Germany - At Frankfurt this year, Pan Acoustics will feature the Dante option for Pan Beam series, Pan Speaker series and Pan Powerline.

The Dante option offers some interesting features: for example, Pan Beam columns can be operated with two independent audio streams with a sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz. The priority circuit in the Pan Beam columns allows automatic switchover of the audio source, for instance switching between programme and announcement signals.

Pan Acoustics' Dante option provides a primary and secondary port, which can be used in redundant or daisy-chain mode. The latter enables other compatible Dante devices, such as a digital stagebox, to be added into the network. Pan Beam models can be set and monitored via the Dante audio network (directivity, EQ, delay, etc) Switching presets, saved in the Pan Beam column speakers, is also possible.

The Pan Speaker series is a new addition to the existing product range, with its compact, high performance, passive loudspeakers. The Pan Speaker series as well as the Pan Beam series combine the same features such as elegant design, a high versatility and a good functionality. The product line consists of 11 models including sub-woofer. It is designed for installations in different application areas and for rental applications.

Pan Powerline is a technical innovation. The function combines the latest transmission technology with already existing wiring. In case of renewals, there is no need for new wires to be set-up. Outdated audio system can be easily brought to the latest technology without existing cables are being removed or replaced. Several types of speakers such as PB 08-PPL or PB 04-PPL can be connected to a line while each speaker can be adjusted through various parameters. An integration of the system within a media control is also possible. The speaker can be arranged and operated in star-shaped system, in a star-daisy chain or in a daisy chain wiring.
