NWare on Digitool Digital Audio Processors

The new Digitool digital audio processors from Peavey Architectural Acoustics bring world-class NWare processing and network control to mid-market contractor and live sound reinforcement applications.

The new Digitool Series is a trio of multi-channel digital audio processing and control systems—the Digitool MX16, Digitool MX32 and Digitool Live—that provide stand-alone or network-based audio control in 8×8 or 16×16 I/O formats. The new Digitool processors can be networked with NWare, the programming and control application of the Peavey MediaMatrix DSP system. The new Digitool models share a common processing platform with the Peavey MediaMatrix NION processor.

The Digitool MX16 features eight inputs and eight outputs; the Digitool MX32 features 16 inputs and 16 outputs; and the Digitool LIVE features eight balanced XLR inputs and outputs for live-sound FOH applications. These new Digitool processors feature a color LCD display on the front panel, front-panel navigation, individual input and output mutes, and five-segment LED arrays for input and output signal monitoring. The entire system may also be configured and controlled via a dedicated NWare-based GUI running on an external PC.

All three Digitool models feature a front-panel USB port for interfacing with a PC for software updates. The rear panel includes an Ethernet port for programming or connecting to a network; eight control voltage ports; and two RS-485 ports, allowing for a variety of external control. All three models also include a globally compatible 100–240V power supply.

The Digitool MX16, MX32 and Live will be available in Q3 2011 from authorized Architectural Acoustics dealers.
