Shaping the Future of AV: How Audio Trends Are Driving Vanco’s Product Innovation
Audio Trends Driving Vanco Product Development
In our last blog we talked about how the industry is in the midst of a commercial swing. Now, as we head toward InfoComm 2025, let’s take a look some other shifts that have influenced how we’ve laid out our current product roadmap: Dante-powered flexibility, streaming-first AV infrastructure, and elevated audio solutions designed to enrich both commercial and residential environments.
Prioritizing Scalability & Flexibility
The need for scalable, adaptable systems has never been greater. Dealers across corporate offices, hospitality venues, and educational institutions demand solutions capable of evolving with changing requirements, without costly rewiring or complex overhauls. Traditional AV infrastructures reliant on fixed cabling and matrix switchers often limit expansion and add complexity during updates.
Enter Dante—a powerful solution transforming audio distribution. Leveraging standard IP networks, Dante facilitates seamless expansion, dynamic routing, and effortless multi-location integration, all managed through intuitive software. Unlike conventional point-to-point systems, Dante supports hundreds of channels over a single network, significantly reducing cabling complexity, accelerating installation, and ensuring high-quality, low-latency audio. Its interoperability across various brands provides integrators with unparalleled flexibility in choosing the best solutions. With AV and IT increasingly converging, Dante represents a future-proof infrastructure. Dealers can expect Dante AV-A enabled chipsets integrated into many new Vanco products, complemented by an ecosystem designed for straightforward, broad compatibility.
Elevating Audio in the Streaming Era
The dominance of traditional cable and satellite TV in commercial AV has substantially declined, giving way to a streaming-centric landscape in hospitality, corporate, and entertainment settings. Dealers now face challenges ensuring AV infrastructures effectively handle high-bandwidth content and that audio remains clear, synchronized, and appropriately routed across multiple zones. While our EVO-IP 2.0 solution already addresses many complexities, Vanco is actively developing additional products specifically aimed at solving these emerging audio distribution challenges. Our forthcoming solutions will emphasize advanced DSP capabilities and seamless integration, ensuring immersive, high-quality audio tailored for streaming-driven environments.
Expanding High-End Audio Capabilities
In both commercial and residential AV markets, demand continues to grow for premium, high-fidelity audio solutions. Exceptional audio performance remains critical to creating standout AV experiences.
Vanco remains dedicated to elevating high-performance audio, particularly through Beale Street Audio. Known for its patented Sonic Vortex® technology, Beale Street speakers have redefined dynamic, high-fidelity sound standards across residential and commercial spaces. In 2025, anticipate significant updates to the Beale Street Audio line, tailored to meet increasing demands from luxury home theaters, high-end retail, and hospitality venues. These enhancements will offer unparalleled sound quality, deeper bass response, and exceptional clarity.
Looking Ahead
Vanco’s innovation continues to focus on delivering flexible, future-proof AV solutions that keep dealers ahead of industry shifts. Stay connected with us as you prepare for InfoComm and throughout the year as we unveil these exciting new products and updates.
