Meridian, MS -- Peavey Electronics has licensed EtherSound networking technology for use in Peavey, MediaMatrix, Architectural Acoustics, and Crest Audio professional audio and communications products.
"We have monitored the development and growing acceptance of EtherSound technology, and we're impressed by its rapid implementation and evolution," said Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Peavey Electronics and CEO of Crest Audio.
"As the networked audio market grows, EtherSound will enable us to continue to expand our scope and deliver exceptional value to our customers," he added. "EtherSound's low latency is especially important to us, because live sound is a major part of our market
. The ability to interoperate with a wide range of complementary products is important to our customers, and therefore to us."
EtherSound is a simple and open standard for networking digital audio using off-the-shelf Ethernet components. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, EtherSound is a deterministic network protocol with bi-directional transmission, high audio data capacity at mixed sample rates and powerful control functions. EtherSound's latency is stable and easily calculated: the point-to-point transmission time between an audio input and an audio output in an EtherSound network is five samples (approx 100 microseconds at 48 kHz), independent of the number of channels transmitted.
