The latest version of Symetrix’s SymNet Composer software will support full configuration of select Dante-enabled Symetrix, Attero Tech and Stewart Audio equipment. Settings affecting I/O levels, routing and other parameters will be defined with SymNet Composer 2.0, consolidating operations on a single platform where three or more were previously required.

‘As a result of the release, integrators will no longer need separate software packages for each manufacturer’s product as well as Dante Controller,’ says Symetrix Senior Product Manager, Trent Wagner. ‘Supported Dante-enabled products will appear side-by-side with Symetrix SymNet products in the Composer software and can be managed or configured identically to Symetrix products. Professionals who have used Composer before will have no learning curve.’

Stewart Audio maintains a focus on affordable and practical networked A/V, and its current range includes innovative Dante end-points: ‘Our customers desire solutions that prove to be both compatible and complete in addressing their audio challenges,’ says Stewart Audio Chief Marketing Officer, Brian McCormick. ‘The collaboration between Stewart Audio, Symetrix and Attero Tech represents a major step in that direction.

‘By collaborating on solutions we can create the right outcomes for our customers. With all the difficulties consultants and integrators face daily, presenting them with a comprehensive answer to an application is what this partnership is really about,’ he adds.

Mike Sims, Director of Marketing and Sales at Attero Tech – which produces a trio of Dante interfaces – welcomes the partnership as ‘the next logical step’ in the interoperability of Dante networked audio systems: ‘Our goal has been to make deployment of these systems as seamless as possible, while allowing consultants and integrators to choose best-of-class products from a variety of manufacturers. This is the future of interoperability,’ he says.
