Hedera

Hedera is a licence-free wireless audio + data link designed to connect moving sound systems along a parade route. It delivers uncompressed stereo PCM audio with minimal (ideally imperceptible) latency, plus a service channel for engineer-to-engineer communication between floats.

Core capability

  • Uncompressed audio: 16/24-bit PCM @ 48 kHz (minimum one stereo channel)
  • Low latency target: tuned for stable, predictable performance in motion
  • Resilience: packet redundancy and controlled buffering behaviour
  • I/O: dual XLR stereo line input & output
  • Digital option: stereo S/PDIF / AES input or output
  • Service channel: messaging / coordination data link

Where bandwidth allows, additional audio channels can be carried.

RF & antenna approach

Mobile floats introduce vibration, alignment shift, and constant changes in geometry. Hedera is engineered around predictable coverage and field-tuned stability rather than “lab-perfect” assumptions.

  • Symmetrical beam pattern: 134°–180°
  • Azimuth beam width: H 67°–90° / V 67°–90°
  • Elevation beam width: H 67°–90° / V 67°–90°
