Audio technology specialist CEntrance has issued two new licenses for its Windows Audio Drivers. Renowned hi-fi brand McIntosh joins mixing console maker DiGiCo in its use of CEntrance driver technology in new products.

The CEntrance Universal Driver Engine is at the core of the licensed technology. Compatible with all versions of Windows (from XP to Windows 8), providing a robust, low-latency kernel-level CEntrance driver for any computer audio application –home audio or pro audio.

‘Our mission is to advance the cutting edge in audio and one of the ways to do that is to license technologies from our growing design portfolio to other brands,’ says Michael Goodman, MD of CEntrance. ‘As a design partner to a number of semiconductor companies, including Analog Devices, TI (Texas Instruments), and XMOS, CEntrance is ideally positioned to deliver quality and value across a wide range of products and markets.’

‘We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with CEntrance throughout this very technical project,’ adds DiGiCo MD, James Gordon. ‘It’s been a great success.’

McIntosh has already released a new line of home audio products with integrated DACs, which demanded the highest audio quality and simple operation. CEntrance delivered on all counts for the companies with its Windows software solution offering crash-proof operation at the lowest latency settings with the highest level of performance.

CEntrance has recently partnered with XMOS Semiconductor to offer an easy path to market for USB audio solutions using CEntrance’s proprietary software. In addition to USB audio, CEntrance is highly experienced with portable and embedded Linux applications, and is an Apple MFI licensee for iPhone, iPad and iPod hardware and software development.
