Networked digital audio mixing consoles and systems have emerged over the last years and experienced perpetual penetration of the professional audio market. Despite the observation that interconnected IT-Solutions are influencing today’s audio products, all available mixing consoles share the same principle: central signal processing. In centralistic approaches all the audio signals are transferred via proprietary or standardized transport technologies to one central node within the network environment. At this central point all signal processing takes place. The idea behind the university project Distributed Audio Mixing Network (DAMN) is to erupt such boundaries.
