ALC NetworX, developer of the RAVENNA audio-over-IP technology, has announced Peavey Commercial Audio as the newest member of the RAVENNA community and further, that the company has developed sNET, a single IP-based network infrastructure technology that will work at the core of future MediaMatrix products.
“Adopting RAVENNA is part of our vision and roadmap to remain on the cutting edge of real-time network audio streaming ensuring the highest level of lossless audio quality within MediaMatrix and Crest Audio products,” says Peavey Commercial Audio general manager Shayne Thomas. “With a proven track record of near on 30 years and industry-wide recognition as a pioneer in the development of cutting-edge digital signal processing technologies it is only fitting that we integrate RAVENNA as part of the supported audio protocols in conjunction with MediaMatrix sNET – AES67 audio streaming, control and monitoring over Ethernet.”
Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA evangelist at ALC NetworX, adds, “Peavey, with its Commercial Audio branch, is a world-leading manufacturer of network-based audio processing and distribution systems. Peavey’s decision to base their new sNET audio streaming protocol on RAVENNA technology demonstrates that RAVENNA’s core genes, originating from the most exacting demands of the broadcast industry, are a perfect match for the ever-growing requirements of the commercial audio industry. As an open technology standard without a proprietary licensing policy, RAVENNA is well positioned to provide system manufacturers like Peavey with the flexibility they need as IP-based technologies continue to infuse their core markets.
