Call Aurora Net by dBTechnologies the unsung hero of your concert experience. Think of them when the bass beats make the butterflies in your stomach flutter or the trebles make you tremble with excitement.
Aurora Net puts the control of your sound system at your fingertips. Individually control and arrange the sound of each amp remotely via touch-based controls and perform complex operations through a simple and intuitive interface.

Aurora Net was designed to be something special from the outset: Every action can be performed with a single click or touch on any touch panel or mini PC. To this end, Aurora Net had to be built with scalability, extensibility, and the capability to adapt to different form factors in mind.
One of the challenges was to develop a user interface that would function for both PCs and touch-based platforms. Qt helped dBTechnologies recreate the graphic designer's proposal with a minimum of time and effort thanks to the flexibility and customization options of the style sheets and widgets.
Another challenge was to find the most efficient and reliable way to put a real-time system on low-performance hardware in place. The requirements should simultaneously match current hardware specs, quickly adapt to future platforms, and ensure continued backward compatibility with legacy products. Thanks to the efficiency of C++ and Qt's object-oriented and multithreading structure, dBTechnologies could achieve the best performance for their software compared to other frameworks.
dBTechnologies chose Qt after evaluating and comparing the documentation, performance, and development time of different toolkits and frameworks, some specific to the audio world.
dBTechnologies designed a very unique interface, but thanks to the style sheets and widgets they turned out to be easy to develop.
