CEntrance welcomes consulting
engagements to license our technology for use in your products
and to develop new products using our extensive R&D and
manufacturing expertise.

CEntrance was founded in
2000, out of a need to find a cross-functional product design
team, equally skilled in software and hardware development.
None were available, so we started our own. Since then, we've
created a large portfolio of audio technologies and helped
hundreds of companies bring innovative products to market.
We license our designs to clients in Europe, Japan, Australia,
North and South America, and all over the world.
In recent years CEntrance
established relationships with over a dozen manufacturing
plants in China. We have experience in cost-effective production
and can deliver fully tested, turn-key electronic products.
CEntrance can take your product "From napkin sketch to
finished goods."

and many others to bring innovative products to market in

rely on the quality of our engineering solutions and our strong
passion for differentiated audio products. More...

The CEntrance engineering
team brings innovation to Digital Audio by developing practical
applications of new technology through our years of R&D
expertise. Musicians ourselves, we want to see new products
create the inspiration for new music to be made.
We typically license a single
technology to several companies, which spreads the cost of
the R&D and makes our solutions more affordable. We invest
considerable resources into R&D. This benefits the entire
marketthe client companies, the customers and the retailers,
helping our industry grow through innovation.

Audio and MIDI
Drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux
|
 |
| |
|
 |
More stable and
faster than ever, our kernel-level audio drivers
feature highest stability and lowest round-trip
latency of less than 6 milliseconds. Based on
our Universal Driver technology (now in
its 4th generation), they are also USB2.0 class-compliant!
|
|
CEntrance replaces
the inefficient OS audio components with our award-winning,
lean driver stack that's both fast and resource-efficient.
We call it the Universal Driver because
it supports chips from ADI (Blackfin), BridgeCo,
Cypress, NXP, Oxford, Renesas, TC Applied, TI
(incl. DaVinci, OMAP), VIA, XMOS, and more!
|
|
|
| |
The CEntrance driver
engine is in use in major studios, broadcast, production
and theater companies around the world. It is compatible
with ASIO2, GSIF2, WinMM, and has been road-tested with
a variety of pro-audio applications, such as Cubase,
Sonar, Sound Forge, and GigaStudio. To license our drivers,
please contact us via the form below.
