Category
Deterministic professional media-network specification
Intended use
Interoperable live and installed audio networking
Production
2018 onward

Why it mattered

  1. 01

    Defined common device behavior above IEEE AVB so products from different professional-audio manufacturers could interoperate predictably.

  2. 02

    Standardized media formats, clocking, redundancy, control, and stream behavior for show-critical networks.

Engineering record

Foundation
Milan builds on IEEE AVB time synchronization and quality-of-service standards.[1]
Scope
The specification adds pro-audio requirements for media streams, formats, clocking, redundancy, and controllers.[2]

Original pricing

Not applicable

2026 equivalent

Not calculated without a reliable original price.

Milan is an interoperability specification and certification program, not a retail hardware product.

Use in the field

Founding participants included AudioScience, Avid, Biamp, d&b, L-Acoustics, Luminex, and Meyer Sound.[1]
