AES67 is a standard for audio over IP interoperability. The standard was developed by the Audio Engineering Society and published in September 2013.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a layer 3 protocol suite based on existing standards and is designed to allow interoperability between various IP-based audio networking systems such as RAVENNA, Livewire, Q-LAN and Dante. It also identifies commonalities with Audio Video Bridging (AVB) and documents AVB interoperability scenarios.[6][7]

The standard has been implemented by Axia,[8] Wheatstone,[9] Riedel[10] and ALC NetworX[11] and is supported by RAVENNA-enabled devices under its AES67 Operational Profile.[12] Audinate,[13][14][15][16][17] QSC,[18][19] Digigram[20] and Wheatstone[21] have announced plans to implement the standard.

AES67 promises interoperability between previously competing audio-over-IP systems[22] and long-term network interoperation between systems.[23]

The Media Networking Alliance was formed in October 2014 to promote adoption of AES67.[24]

In October 2014 a plugfest was held to test interoperability achieved with AES67.[25]
