Glensound Joins Avnu Alliance As Latest Milan Associate Member

Glensound, a leader in high-quality audio systems, has joined the Avnu Alliance as a Milan Associate member, reinforcing its commitment to networked audio innovation. Announced during ISE 2025, this move aligns Glensound with Milan, an advanced interoperability protocol built on Audio Video Bridging (AVB), ensuring precise, reliable, and deterministic media transport over Ethernet.

Glensound is very accustomed to responding to client needs and an increasing number of requests to use the company's products as part of a larger network drove the decision to join the Alliance. Glensound already offers products with Dante and RAVENNA connectivity, demonstrating its expertise in networked audio protocols and its commitment to compliance across industry standards.

Milan has been widely adopted in live sound and touring markets, offering a robust and user-friendly solution that eliminates complex switch configurations while ensuring high-priority audio signals remain unaffected by network traffic. This reliability is critical for large-scale live events such as concerns and festivals, where traditional Ethernet solutions may pose risks.

Marc Wilson, Managing Director of Glensound said: "This offers us a great opportunity to expand our networking reach and cover another major area. The maturity of AVB to the Milan specification has played a big role in this decision, as now there are established standards within the system. We can offer a broad range of solutions to our customers, including those who need products compatible with Milan, which will be available later in the year."

Henning Kaltheuner, Consultant and Board Member of Avnu Alliance for d&b audiotechnik, welcomes the announcement: "We are delighted to welcome Glensound to the group of Milan manufacturers within the Avnu Alliance. Glensound’s innovative interface and breakout products will undoubtedly expand the applicability and value of Milan in the market, strengthening its presence and impact."

As Milan continues to drive network convergence and interoperability across the AV industry, Glensound’s integration into the ecosystem underscores its dedication to providing cutting-edge, future-ready audio solutions.
