Sandy Audio Visual Upgrades Law Enforcement Communications to Dante with Turtle AV.
A regional law enforcement agency in the U.S. approached Sandy Audio Visual (SAV) to improve its communications and meeting room technology within a strict budget. The agency had recently purchased a wireless microphone system that worked well but lacked Dante support, limiting their move to a network-based audio workflow. Replacing the microphones was not an option.
SAV identified Turtle AV’s Dante Dual Channel Analog XLR Input Adapter as a practical and cost-effective solution to introduce Dante whilst preserving the client’s existing hardware investment.
“When we came across the Turtle AV adapters, it was obvious right away that they were the answer,” said Colin Sandy, Co-Founder and CEO, Sandy Audio Visual. “They solved the Dante connectivity challenge without disrupting the client’s existing system, and they fit the project budget perfectly. I have an extremely happy client right now.”
Key Advantages for the Agency
Scalability and Flexibility
Dante allows audio signals to be added, moved, or rerouted over standard network infrastructure. The system can now evolve as the agency’s needs grow.
Improved Audio Quality
Dante transports uncompressed and low latency digital audio, which ensures consistent and reliable performance in mission critical spaces.
Reduced Cabling Complexity
Running audio over the network removes the limitations of traditional analog cabling. Instead of pulling separate lines for every source, all audio travels through the existing network infrastructure. This simplifies installation, reduces physical clutter, and avoids many of the reliability issues associated with long analog runs.
Centralized Management
Dante Controller gives the agency a unified view of the entire audio system. Routing and troubleshooting can be performed quickly from a laptop anywhere on the network.
Future Proofing
With Dante in place, the system is compatible with a large ecosystem of Dante enabled devices. Future expansions can occur without major infrastructure changes.
“The audio quality and reliability we get from the Turtle AV Dante Dual XLR Input Adapter are outstanding. It delivers clean digital audio and has been rock solid for months now since we installed for our client. I can confidently recommend that everyone take a serious look at Turtle AV because the products just work.”
