Audinate Partners with South Korea's Inter-M

Inter-M, billed as South Korea's largest PA and installed sound manufacturer, has agreed to collaborate on a line of products that will feature Dante, Audinate's patented media networking technology, which is built using standards based IP over Ethernet.

Known for its PA systems, SR systems, consoles, speakers, CCTV systems, wireless systems, microphones, and DVR, Inter-M products are featured throughout Korea in stadiums, performing arts centers, office buildings, and houses of worship. It is a publically listed company on the Korean Stock Exchange (KOSDAQ).

"Inter-M is a great brand in Korea and is expanding rapidly around the world." said Lee Ellison, CEO for Audinate. "Inter-M has an aggressive plan to connect their wide variety of products into an integrated system using Dante."

"We believe having Dante in our systems gives us a definite competitive advantage" stated Wonho Lee, director of R&D at Inter-M. "We selected Dante because it provides us with an audio over IP solution today, and Audinate is the only company that can offer a viable transition path to AVB for the future."

Inter-M plans using Dante end-to-end throughout their systems, from Dante-enabled paging microphones, through mixers and distribution units, to Dante-enabled powered speakers.
