Fourier Audio has announced HYPERPORT, a new low-latency, point-to-point audio protocol designed for seamless integration between its transform.engine or transform.go and DiGiCo’s Quantum and SD-Range consoles.

With the launch of HYPERPORT, Fourier Audio addresses one of the most critical challenges in live sound – latency. Built from the ground up for professional touring, theatre, and broadcast environments, HYPERPORT delivers ultra-fast, reliable audio transfer, giving engineers the speed, precision, and confidence they need in high-pressure performance situations.

When connecting transform hardware as an insert on a DiGiCo console, HYPERPORT achieves an astonishing 1.2ms roundtrip latency, a reduction of more than half when compared to Dante (~3ms). The new protocol’s impressive real-world performance enables Fourier Audio’s live plugin hosts to now be used for even the most latency-sensitive applications, including monitor mixing.

“Artists are acutely sensitive to latency, as it directly impacts the musicality of a performance,” says Fourier Audio CEO Pete Bridgman. “We’ve heard our customers’ requests to minimise latency and have collaborated with DiGiCo to invent HYPERPORT, which upgrades existing hardware at no extra cost to provide a transport layer optimised for quick, no-nonsense setup, minimal buffering, and uncompromised audio integrity.”

Along with its quick setup and high-resolution signal transport, DiGiCo users will also be pleased to know that the Fourier Interface Card or DMI-DANTE64@96 card in their console automatically detects between Dante and HYPERPORT, enabling 64 channels of redundant, high-speed, low-latency connectivity at 48 or 96 kHz, with no additional hardware, configuration or controller software required. HYPERPORT will be available for free to all Fourier Audio users in March 2026 via a software update.
