The devices of the 
family are professional audio gateways. In other words they are audio codecs with extensive network ability (Internet, Intranet, LAN, WAN). They support all common coding procedures and transmission protocols.
Similar to the introduction of the precursor, the CENTAURI, in the year 2000, the is his competitors ahead and offers you additional features to be unparalleled.
The concept of the audio gateways is a new dimension in quality, handling and flexibility at audio transmissions.
The CENTAURI family offers both analogue and digital audio (compliant with AES/3) at up to 96kHz sampling rates, with 24-bit resolution A/D and D/A converters. Coding algorithms such as G.711, G.722, MPEG-1/2 Layer 2, MPEG-1/2 Layer 3, MPEG-2/4 AAC, AAC (LD), AAC (HE), MP3PRO, APT-X and Enhanced APT-X are all available, in addition to its’ ability to handle linear audio. All of which, combined with networking via ISDN, X.21, V.35 and Ethernet, further serve to illustrate the CENTAURI Family uniqueness.
The largest improvements to the very successful CENTAURI I are:
| • | The Gateway functionality |
| • | The Backup functionality |
| • | The Point to Multipoint functionality |
| • | The Dual Codec functionality |
| • | The Multi channel functionality (e.g. 5.1 transmission) |
