In today’s competitive convention and arena market, multiple-use, large-event venues have become mainstream. Once the staple of large metro areas, this type of venue is now found in smaller markets everywhere. From major league sports to high school rodeo, sound reinforcement and audio visual technology is an integral component of these facilities. MediaMatrix has been the primary audio processing system for more major sporting events around the world than any other professional DSP-based audio system. Numerous world championship football, soccer, baseball and basketball games have been played under the umbrella of MediaMatrix audio. MediaMatrix is now the leading technology for the audio, communications and integrated media installations and the established standard in configurable audio systems throughout the world.

Extensive use of room combining, paging and remote control features make MediaMatrix a must-have for convention centers the world over. Integral, intuitive audio devices including the powerful Room Combiner makes easy work of multiple, large-scale room combining. And with seamless support for popular third-party controllers, building powerful enduser interfaces is easy. MediaMatrix’s extensive networking support provides simple, cost-effective management of distributed audio I/O and control locations. Staff members can log on securely to monitor, control and operate the system from any location. MediaMatrix provides specific functionality to create manageable user interfaces. Standalone control clients can be distributed throughout the facility on any number of PCs already existing on your network. Standard Ethernet and support for custom control applications eliminates the need to implement a separate cabling system just for audio control. Where there is a network port, there is an audio controller.

MediaMatrix was born into government audio work. From the very first MediaMatrix installation at the United States Senate Chambers and recent implementations of NION® processing systems in both the Senate and House of Representatives has continued to be the first choice of system designers and government for almost fifteen years. Now installed in major governmental facilities around the world, MediaMatrix knows no political boundary. Elaborate, complex mixing requirements common to large facilities of parliament and congress make MediaMatrix the only choice. Where multiple mixes must be created for archival recording systems, press rooms, media feeds and sound reinforcement, MediaMatrix’s unique ability to create powerful configurations continues to keep it at the forefront of the design community. Stable, continuous operation, redundancy and easy controllability are only a few of the reasons MediaMatrix systems are the perfect choice.
LDS Conference Center, Salt Lake City, UT • St. James Cathedral, Seattle, WA • Potter’s House Church, Dallas, TX • The Fellowship Church, Dallas, TX
It is possible that houses of worship represent the single most critical application for sound reinforcement in the world. Religious organizations everywhere depend on their sound systems to clearly, accurately and reliably distribute the spoken word to their faithful. In addition to the spoken word, today’s high-tech, contemporary facilities are creating even more demanding audio requirements that can stretch traditional systems beyond their limits. Full-blown drama, musical theater and live concerts are becoming a common tool of evangelical bodies around the world. Beyond the worship space, there are numerous requirements for reliable sound in adjacent spaces. Fellowship halls, educational buildings, gymnasiums and administrative facilities all require audio. MediaMatrix can provide processing for these additional systems usually with little, if any, additional hardware. MediaMatrix software, and its powerful method of creating “virtual” systems, makes adding a building a much easier and costeffective project. 8
For applications where pristine audio performance and efficient design tools are priorities, MediaMatrix® continues to be the consultant’s first choice.

Distributed or Centralized Processing? The debate between centralized and distributed processing models is long over. NION® supports a robust infrastructure with systems built with modular network nodes. Each node includes an extremely powerful DSP engine, configurable I/O and a robust, 448-channel, low-latency expansion bus. From simple stand-alone systems to large hybrids of multiple configurations, NION supports any combination of processing, I/O and control.
Software With NION, a robust vector-based software interface provides powerful, intuitive tools for configuring, controlling and managing NION systems. NWare™ and its associated Kiosk control client make it easy to manage audio transport, control, redundancy and hardware role assignments across any size of implementation. Robust control functionality and support for SNMP provide rock-solid performance. And best of all, the industry’s most comprehensive and continually expanding device set is provided, continuing the legendary power of MediaMatrix audio processing.
Modular Key to the power of NION products is Peavey’s Scalable I/O Architecture for maximum design flexibility and efficient hardware management. NION processing nodes are available in multiple configurations with more to come. The n6 and n3 audio processing nodes provide four Scalable I/O Card bays while the new nX includes two bays. All NION hardware products support the same variety of modular plug-in cards and software tools.
