Not since Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee 1897, has Great Britain celebrated a monarch’s 60th anniversary. Needless to say an event of this magnitude required a reliable and flexible networking transport, and Audinate’s award winning Dante technology was chosen as the digital media network backbone for all the live sound events and festivities. Audio production house Britannia Row Productions was responsible for all the…

Many professional audio manufacturers are now actively producing their own proprietary network connection and control systems, thus enabling users to create and control products within the audio chain.

Therefore, to partner this article on interconnection options, here’s a brief overview on the control and distribution solutions currently…

You remember how well the first Soundcraft console you ever used responded to your touch. You recall, despite its simple interface and lack of things to tweak, how great the reverb of a Lexicon PCM-60 sounded. Another advantage to getting older is that the gear you lusted after as a youngster becomes affordable. The downside of this can…

Wireworks has introduced new MCAT5, the first-ever multipin-based, multi-channel CAT5e network cabling. MCAT5 simplifies network cabling by eliminating individual cable runs; reducing the wear and tear on equipment by utilizing a sturdy multipin connector instead of the standard RJ45 connector, creating a rugged point-to-point secure connection. Additional benefits of MCAT5 include ease of use, simplified cable identification and improved network durability. MCAT5 tails are configured to support six channels of 10/100/1000BASE-T signals and equipment requiring four pairs per RJ45. Tails…

Aviom, known to countless church sound personnel and musicians for its “more of me” personal monitor mixing controls, has put considerable work into how to move audio signals from one place to another. It’s led to the development of a digital snake system and audio networking system, which Kent Gibson discusses in the August, 2009 issue of Church Production magazine. How does this technology work? What are the advantages (and potential downsides) of transporting signal in the digital domain? And…
