Germany - The OCA Alliance is continuing its promotion of the OCA message at this year's Prolight+Sound exhibition, both on the exhibition floor and in the activities of its members at the show. Among exhibiting member companies, d&b audiotechnik is launching its next generation D20 amplifier, a major new OCA enabled product, on booth H8 J46.

The alliance's booth - H8 A11 - features a live demonstration of control and monitoring across networked audio devices from different manufacturers, and will be a point of contact for manufacturers and audio professionals looking for information, or wishing to consult with experts from the OCA Alliance.

Activities to promote the OCA vision of a common remote control standard include the alliance Manufacturers' Reception, at 18:00 on Wednesday 15 April on the Bosch Communications booth H8 A22. Leading technical and product specialists from the alliance will give a short presentation, followed by light refreshments and the opportunity to talk 'one-on-one' with OCA Alliance members.

d&b audiotechnik is launching its new D20 amplifier, a major OCA enabled product. d&b audiotechnik was among the first manufacturers to implement OCA commercially. The protocol is currently enabled on the d&b D80 amplifier and R1 remote control software; both of which have proven the OCA protocol in the field, on major music festivals, including Glastonbury, and international concert tours by artists like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and One Direction.

d&b audiotechnik product manager and chairman of the OCA Alliance marketing group, Marc Weber expands, "Feedback from our customers to the performance and reliability of OCA in the field has been universally enthusiastic. Now we are bringing OCA to a new set of applications. The next generation four-channel D20 amplifier offers users the DSP power and field-proven user interfaces of the d&b flagship D80 amplifier, providing an ideal OCA enhanced solution for smaller loudspeaker systems and applications that don't require such high sound pressure levels.

"With the OCA protocol the d&b D20 amplifier already has onboard the potential to perform in the long term interoperability vision of the OCA Alliance. It is this vision that the OCA Alliance is actively promoting at prolight+sound. With more OCA enabled products to be released this year and the forthcoming ratification of the OCA protocol as an AES standard, 2015 will be an exciting year for OCA."
