Optocore

Optocore Professional Optical Fiber and Cat5 Audio Network for Installations, Broadcast and Live Sound Further patents are pending.

OPTOCORE GmbH (Munich/Germany), was founded in 2003 to market the OPTOCORE optical digital network system and to supply the range of OPTOCORE devices. The OPTOCORE GmbH offers an open system network platform for audio, video and control signals with an exceptional high transmission quality. The first OPTOCORE devices were developed in the early 1990s by Marc Brunke / Brunke Electronic in a quest f

or a superior transmission quality of a digital network system based on fibre optics, consequently creating the world’s first optical fibre network system for audio, video and control data transmission. The initial success has led to a decade of audio innovation with the system being registered for patent in 1994. 1996 saw the release of the first OPTOCORE modules, presented at the “Pro Light & Sound” Exhibition in Frankfurt. This system release led to the launch of the first LX4 units in 2000. Developed mainly for the transport of digital audio signals the DD 32 unit followed two years later. The latest products in the OPTOCORE range belong to the X6-series and are stand alone analog audio converters. These small, 16 channel units offer excellent AD/DA conversion and are totally compatible to the OPTOCORE network devices. Additionally the OPTOCORE company welcome OEM licensees to join the ever increasing OPTOCORE community and to share the multiple benefits of the OPTOCORE network platform. These are just some of the things that have gone into making the OPTOCORE brand a household-name in the modern professional audio and video environments. The principle of bundling professional audio and video signals on fibre-optic cables is internationally protected by patents. OPTOCORE ® is a registered trademark in Europe, USA and other countries.

In fiber-based audio networks, a single break can interrupt the entire signal path.
The AutoRouter is designed to prevent exactly that.
It continuously monitors the optical ring and, in case of a failure, closes the ring within a single audio sample — maintaining uninterrupted signal flow across the network.
No manual intervention.
No audio disruption.
Just continuous operation, even in critical environments.

In modern production environments, performance often comes at the cost of size, weight and power consumption.

We designed the M-series with a different philosophy.

Despite its compact form factor and low power consumption, it delivers the full capabilities of an Optocore network node — transporting high channel counts of audio with the same reliability and performance expected from much larger systems.

This approach allows engineers to build powerful fiber networks using smaller, more efficient devices.
Because in demanding environments, high performance should not depend on large hardware overcomplicated hardware.

Festivals and large productions often require more than just audio transport.
Control networks, intercom systems, monitoring data or additional IP traffic may also need to travel across the same fiber infrastructure.

This is where the Festival Box offers a powerful — and often overlooked — capability.

Besides its role within the Optocore network, the device provides a passive fiber tunnel capable of transporting protocol-agnostic data up to 10 Gb/s.

Because the tunnel is completely passive, it does not require power inside the device. This makes it particularly valuable for critical communication paths, where reliability and independence from powered hardware can be essential.

The result is a flexible fiber infrastructure that can carry far more than just audio — from video and control networks to any other high-speed data required by the production.

ISE has officially started! 🎉

If you’re at the show, come and visit us at Booth 7M700 and see what we’ve been working on.

At our booth, you can explore:
- fiber-based audio & intercom networking built for mission-critical reliability
- Autorouter - intelligent, automatic signal routing for redundant network paths
- scalable system architectures for touring, installation, and broadcast
- seamless integration of audio, intercom, and control workflows
- real-world use cases from demanding productions and installations

No slides, no hype — just practical solutions and real conversations.

We’ve got a new story up on the Optocore website! 🎉
Mazowsze Performance Hall in Mazovia has recently upgraded their venue to a full fiber-optic Optocore network — and the difference it makes for the crew is huge.
The new setup, built around AutoRouter and M8 MADI, gives them a stable, redundant backbone that works both for everyday shows and any visiting productions. Krzysztof Polesiński connected everything with the L-Acoustics L-ISA and DiGiCo systems, making the whole place much easier to run.
If you’re into audio networks or just enjoy seeing smart installs, it’s worth a look.

Situated to the north of Warsaw in Mazovia, the 540-seat multipurpose Mazowsze Performance Hall concert venue and cultural centre recently moved onto a fiber optic backbone, after adopting an Optocore topology.
