Founded by a group of engineers aiming to develop innovative solutions and products for professional high-end audio applications, Boldburg’s initial focus was on a modular digital multicore with support for sample rates up to 384kHz and dynamic range up to 135dB.

‘Boldburg was founded to create a product which we felt was missing on the market but, more importantly, that would be genuinely appreciated by our customers,’ explains Boldburg COO, Tomas Koctur. ‘Our lead engineer, Marek Petrinec focused on no-compromise audio quality in order to satisfy the most demanding customers. We used only top quality components in order to deliver a product of the very highest specifications.

The resulting Galileo product line is a modular multicore/stagebox, with a wide range of features and functionalities. Significantly, every element of the Galileo product range is hot-swappable.

‘We have the same high demands of any AoIP protocol to use with our products,’ Koctur continues. ‘When we did the research, there was only one that met – indeed, exceeded – our criteria, and that was Ravenna. Ravenna is a truly outstanding solution for media transport in IP environments – it provides the highest performance characteristics of anything else on the market and yet remains open, licence-free technology.’

‘Since Ravenna is an open and license-free technology, it is especially well suited to companies in a start-up situation or indeed any company wishing to benefit from a cutting-edge audio transport solution while keeping costs down,’ says Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX Senior Product Manager. ‘By integrating Ravenna’s AES67-compatible audio-over-IP streaming technology, Boldburg builds on standardised and future-proof network interoperability for advanced digital multicore solutions.’
