EAV Tech deploys the Mamba Digital Snake at Broadcast venues
Feb 22, 2007. San Jose, CA: NetworkSound Inc, a leading provider of multi-channel audio, video and control over
CAT-5/6, is pleased to announce that The EAV Tech Pvt Ltd, based in Melbourne, Australia, has chosen
NetworkSound's Mamba Digital Snake system for Broadcast venues.
The broadcast center required 128 channels from stage to mixing area and 128 channels back from mixing area to
stage. In addition, some venue require multi-mode fiber and some single mode fiber (over 20km) with an optional
CAT-5/6. Given all these challenges, EAV Tech was meticulous in selecting a snake system that meets the stringent
requirements while providing plug and play setup at a cost that is affordable to analog audio snake. "We are very
pleased with the Mamba Digital Snake system and it was a snap to install and get it going", said Clive G O'Brien,
CEO of EAV Tech. Mamba digital snake offered the large channel count (128X128) that we wanted and allowed
us to patch our own micpre at selected stage inputs. By providing the off-the-shelf micpre usage on selected inputs,
the entire system was very cost effective. We were able to plug in micpre and line level inputs with ease and DB25
offered a convenient way to switch them on the fly. The built in cable redundancy feature was a big plus since it
provided the automatic cable fail-over, a piece of mind feature built in to Mamba Digital Snake system.
The Mamba is an ideal solution for the Broadcast market because it is inexpensive, easy to setup and manage, while
reliably providing professional quality audio distribution. It is the lowest priced 32X16 digital snake on the market,
but because it is based on the same MediaNet technology used in NetworkSound’s high end broadcast solutions,
the quality and reliability are of the highest standard.
NetworkSound also offers custom plug and play Digital Snakes that can support many different audio formats,
including balanced, mic-pre, AES/EBU, SPDIF and unbalanced over a single CAT-5/6 cable. NetworkSound’s
MediaNet technology enables synchronous transport of up to 512 X 512 channels of audio at 48 kHz over a single
CAT-5/6 up to 100 meters/300 feet, or up to 2 or 20 km in fiber mode, with latency less than 200 micro seconds
(I2S-I2S). For further information, please visit http://www.networksound.com/Digsnake.html.
“We are pleased that EAV Tech has selected the Mamba to power the broadcast venues. We believe that the
Mamba is ideally suited for the broadcast market because it combines professional grade capabilities with the ease
of setup and operation, reliability at a reasonable cost," said Barani Subbiah, Founder & CEO of NetworkSound,
Inc. The Mamba and other Digital snakes are available for direct sale and via OEM partnership. For further
