Peavey joins Ravenna community

ALC NetworX, the developer of the Ravenna audio-over-IP technology, says it is pleased to welcome Peavey to the Ravenna community. Under its commercial audio brand, Peavey offers a wide range of professional audio equipment. 

Under the Ravenna partnership, Peavey has developed sNET, a single IP-based network infrastructure technology that will work at the core of their future MediaMatrix products. sNET is based on Ravenna and will pave the way toward 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 remarks. “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 of ALC NetworX says, “Peavey 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.”
