A Networked Media System is any audio and/or video
equipment that communicates over an organization’s
Ethernet network. Networked Media Systems are
designed to maximize system resources while
simplifying system administration. By leveraging the
existing network for both audio and control signals,
a ready-built path is already in place to send those
signals anywhere in the building, yielding a superior
audio experience for paging, conferencing, and sound
reinforcement.
BENEFITS OF A NETWORKED MEDIA SYSTEM:
>> Cost Savings
>> Efficiency
>> Flexibility
>> Scalability
>> Interoperability
>> Sustainable
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:
>> Conferencing
>> Paging
>> Room combining
>> Sound reinforcement
For the love of sound, we never stop experimenting,
tinkering and making the impossible actually practical.
Because ultimately, when the lights dim and the
speakers come on, it’s not about the system. It’s all
about the sound.
And yes, all our systems are born in America.
