What are SuperMac and AES50? SuperMAC from KLARK TEKNIK simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely-low deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry. This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications, as well as post-production, broadcasting and audio routing infrastructure. SuperMAC is a proprietary point-to-point digital audio connection technology operating over 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. Originally developed by Sony Pro-Audio Labs in Oxford, UK (and now owned by KLARK TEKNIK), 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 bi-directional audio channels over Cat 5 cable (48 kHz) • 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 configuration - total ease of deployment and use • Ethernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary data channel • OEM modules available from developer partners 15
