Glensound marks 60 years of audio innovation at BroadcastAsia 2026

Glensound comes to BroadcastAsia this year in its 60th anniversary year, presenting a range of networked audio solutions across broadcast, live events, esports and commercial audio. The company builds compact, practical units for professional production environments, with deep expertise in Dante, Ravenna, Milan (AVB), AES67 and SMPTE ST2110-30. 

Among the highlights on show is the Parliamentary Broadcast System (PBS). Glensound has spent more than 35-years designing audio for parliaments and legislatures, and the PBS draws on all of that experience. Built on Dante, it covers main chambers and committee rooms in seated, ad hoc or conference configurations. It delivers independent clean feeds for broadcast, recording and sound reinforcement, with voting, delegate management, camera control and logging unified in a single software package. The system is modular, with multiple redundant infrastructures, making it well suited to the varied requirements of government bodies, parliaments and courtrooms across the region. 

The DARK family of throwdown interfaces has continued to grow. These PoE-powered appliances bring audio into fibre or copper Dante networks wherever I/O is needed. The DARK22M is a two-in (mic/line), two-out device that adds return or confidence feeds to commentary or interview positions. Gain control works on the box, through the GlenController app, or over the network via UDP. It also doubles as a high-performance USB/analogue and USB/Dante audio interface. 

BroadcastAsia also marks the regional debut of Glensound's first Milan AVB products: the AoIP4O and AoIP4I. Both are compact analogue-to-network interfaces. The AoIP4O provides four XLR analogue outputs from Milan; the AoIP4I delivers four XLR analogue inputs to Milan. Both run on PoE or from a DC power brick. 

The Beatrice R12 MkII is the first, second-generation Beatrice intercom unit. Multiple display screens show source and destination labels drawn from Dante Controller, alongside status information. A five-way lever control on each of the 12 channels handles talk and listen options and immediate level adjustment. New audio dynamic functions make it the most complete intercom unit in the Glensound range. 

To mark the diamond anniversary, Glensound has produced the GTM Diamond, a limited edition of just 60 units. Each one features over 4,000 hand-placed Swarovski crystals, making it a centrepiece for any esports tournament. It delivers the full functionality required for esports production, gamer interfacing, intercom mixing and remote control by tournament engineers. Separate modes support coaches, referees and arena announcers. A controls-free version is available for system integrators, and the standard GTM remains in production alongside it. 

"BroadcastAsia is an important show for us, particularly as we continue to build relationships across Southeast Asia," said Marc Wilson, Managing Director of Glensound. "The region has real momentum in broadcast infrastructure investment, and we're seeing strong interest in IP audio from broadcasters and systems integrators at every stage of the transition. In our 60th year, it's a good moment to be here and to have those conversations about what comes next."
