Exhibition Overview

At the Neutrik booth, in addition to panel displays of various industry-standard products such as XLR, speakON, powerCON, etherCON, and opticalCON, we will showcase a wide range of new products, including the new platform 'Unicorn Platform,' announced in February of this year.

Highlights

The ISE (Integrated Systems Europe), an exhibition for audiovisual and system integration, was held in Barcelona, Spain, from February 3 to February 6, 2026. Neutrik also exhibited, and what particularly attracted attention was the introduction of the new product platform, 'Unicorn Platform.'

Until now, Neutrik's TRUE1 has been highly regarded as a 'power connector that can be safely used outdoors.' However, on-site, the situation of using different connectors with different philosophies and standards for power and data has continued for a long time. The Unicorn Platform is a new platform conceived to rethink this fragmented connection concept and extend the philosophy of TRUE1 to the data connection domain.

At the venue, we will have mock-ups of the new platform available to introduce to visitors.

-Main specifications of Unicorn Platform-

mediaCON TRUE1 (USB Type-C)

• Max 100W power delivery (20V/5A USB PD 3.0)
• Max 5 Gbit/s data rate (USB 3.2 Gen1x1)
• IP65 / IP66 / IP67 (assembled state)
• TRUE1 locking mechanism (internal locking mechanism)
• Metal data container structure
Scheduled release: Late April 2026 onwards

etherCON TRUE1 (CAT6A)

• CAT6A compatible
• PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 / Class 8, max 100W)
• IP65 / IP66 / IP67 (assembled state)
• TRUE1 locking mechanism (internal locking mechanism)
• Metal data container structure
• Airtight design
Scheduled release: Late May 2026 onwards

opticalCON TRUE1 (2-fiber)

• 2-fiber configuration
• Minimized depth design
• IP65 / IP66 / IP67 (assembled state)
• TRUE1 locking mechanism (internal locking mechanism)
• Metal data container structure
Scheduled release: Late May 2026 onwards

In addition, we will demonstrate the new DANTE interface NA-2I2O-DLINE, released in 2025. The NA-2I2O-DLINE, like the conventional model NA2-IO-DLINE, features two inputs and two outputs. The thick rubber protective cover is removable, and with optional accessories, it can be mounted on tabletops, trusses, or 19-inch racks.

This new generation of DLINE products further improves audio performance, achieving levels of up to 24 dBu for both input and output, a dynamic range exceeding 100 dB, an S/N ratio exceeding 108 dB, and crosstalk performance of -100 dB at 20 kHz for output and -110 dB for input. It also complies with the AES67 standard.

It is ideal as equipment to spot-add Line-in/Line-out to necessary locations for users who have already built a DANTE network.
