Eliminate Distractions & Uncomfortable Silence in the Workplace 

The noise levels in your office space can greatly influence the atmosphere and overall mood. If it’s so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, people may feel like they’re being overheard during private conversations. Alternatively, if there are a lot of loud distractions on top of a busy workload, people may feel overwhelmed or irritated. 

However, there’s a solution to these auditory distractions: sound masking. Read on to see how sound masking systems help bring peace and comfort to offices. And if you’re interested in sound masking for your Dallas business, contact Texadia Systems to get started. 

Audio Network Protocols for Conference Rooms: AVB or Dante?

As organizations embrace modern AV design, many are moving away from outdated analog cabling in favor of digital audio networks that deliver far greater scalability and flexibility. In this article, we’ll be comparing Dante & AVB network solutions to help IT decision-makers and AV managers select the right system for conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-room deployments. We’ll define each protocol, share real-world use cases, and highlight how audio networking standards shape today’s enterprise environments.

Why Shift to Networked Audio?

Traditional point‑to‑point wiring for AV installations imposes limits on room layout, cable length, and scalability. In contrast, an audio networking infrastructure leverages standard Ethernet switches and VLANs to transport hundreds of channels over a single cable. Beyond reducing rack space and cable clutter, this approach accelerates deployment and simplifies maintenance, especially in buildings with existing IP networks.

The Basics – Dante and AVB

Businesses have two leading options when it comes to IP-based audio: Audinate’s Dante and the IEEE’s AVB tool suite. Each protocol routes audio over Ethernet, but they differ in governance, certification requirements, and ecosystem adoption.
