ALC NetworX, the developer of the RAVENNA Audio-over-IP technology, has welcomed Peavey to the RAVENNA community.
Under its Commercial Audio brand, Peavey offers an entire range of products from the microphone to the loudspeaker and every link in the signal chain in between.
Under the RAVENNA partnership, Peavey has developed “sNET” – a single IP-based network infrastructure technology which will work at the core of their future MediaMatrix products.
sNET is based on RAVENNA, the broadcast industry’s de-facto AoIP standard, featuring low latency, fully synchronised signal transparency and the highest reliability – all while ensuring broad interoperability through its compatibility with AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 standards.
This will start to blur the boundaries between the commercial audio and broadcast worlds, paving the way towards seamless integration and interoperability between Peavey’s MediaMatrix solution and any IP-based broadcast application.
According to Peavey Commercial Audio General Manager, Shayne Thomas, joining the RAVENNA community was a natural move.
“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,” he remarked.
“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, is very pleased to welcome Peavey to the RAVENNA community: “Peavey, with its Commercial Audio branch, is a world-leading manufacturer of network-based audio processing and distribution systems.
“Peavey’s decision to base its 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 it needs as IP-based technologies continue to infuse its core markets.”
